The wrong service creates the wrong expectation
A wash plan will not remove oxidation. Ceramic will not fix bad prep. Teak cleaning is not the same as full teak restoration. Engine room cleaning is not mechanical repair. Bottom paint is a different service than detailing. We would rather quote the right service than sell the wrong one.
Choose a wash plan if the boat is already in decent shape and needs consistent cleaning.
Choose boat detailing or ceramic application if the boat is dull, oxidized, stained, or needs surface protection.
Choose custom packages when teak, metal, engine rooms, bottom paint, or multiple areas need attention.

Common questions about our marine detailing services
What service should I choose if I am not sure what my boat needs?
Send photos of the boat, your boat size, location, and the areas that concern you. We can recommend whether you need a wash plan, full detail, teak cleaning, engine room cleaning, stainless polishing, ceramic application, bottom paint, or a custom quote.
Is boat detailing different from a wash plan?
Yes. A wash plan is routine maintenance. Boat detailing is deeper work that may include polishing, oxidation improvement, stainless work, and surface protection.
Can multiple services be combined into one package?
Yes. We can build custom packages that combine detailing, wash plans, teak cleaning, engine room cleaning, stainless polishing, ceramic application, bottom paint, and other marine services.
Do you offer ceramic application?
Yes. We offer marine ceramic application, but it should only be applied after proper cleaning, polishing, and surface prep when needed.
Do you speak Spanish?
Yes. We speak English and Spanish.
