About Deckhand Detailing

Deckhand Detailing was originally founded by Natalie Sears in 1990 to serve the needs of boaters in the great Puget Sound area. From day one, our passion has been to give each boat our full attention while protecting it from the elements and keeping it clean for it’s owner.
We’ve worked on all types of boats, from ski boats to 150 ft yachts, sailboats and powerboats, and everything in between. We pride ourselves in taking boats from dirty to clean and oxidized to glossy.
Deckhand Detailing is a full service, year-round boat detailing company that uses high-quality products, offers affordable services and friendly, professional and easy to work with.

You can also read the article that was written about Natalie and Deckhand Detailing in NW Yachting magazine.
Service Areas
Our Seattle crew services the greater Seattle area from Elliott Bay and Shilshole Marina to the Eastside (Carillon Point, Newport Shores, etc), Lake Union, Lake Washington, Kenmore, Edmonds and Everett. We have a crew that can also take care of your boat if you're located in Anacortes or the Blaine/Bellingham area. If you’re located outside of our service area, bring your boat to one of the larger marinas in Seattle for a few days and we'll be happy to work on your boat there.

Our Freaking Amazing CRew
Please accept my compliments on your staff and the terrific job they did. They were dedicated, thoughtful, professional and certainly went well beyond the expectations of just “boat washers”.

I just have to say, our crew rocks! OK, maybe we're a bit biased because they're our crew, but they're each hard-working, honest, amazing people and they're what makes Deckhand Detailing so successful. And we don't just hire anyone. We're very picky and we invest a lot of our time training them. Most of our crew has been with us for over five years and several for 10+ years. They know their jobs well and love what they do!
