Boat WAshing & Exterior Cleaning
We offer both one-time detailed washes done as needed or recurring washes done every one, two, three or four weeks. Recurring washes are the best way to keep your boat clean year-round so it's ready for you anytime you want to enjoy it. We offer the best boat wash, waxing and polishing services for the better health of your boat or yacht.
All washes include: Washing the boat from the waterline up using a soap that doesn't strip wax; washing away dirt and salt spray, bird or spider droppings and black water streaks; scrubbing non-skid and lifting up hatches and storage compartments to clean the gutter tracks and hatch edges and doing a wipe down in the cockpit or fly bridge area.
Add extra wash or exterior cleaning services as needed:

Buffing, compounding & Polishing
Our buffing, compounding and polishing services will remove oxidation, bring back the gloss and further protect your gel coat making your boat easier to clean throughout the year. We also offer boat hull polish to keep your boat in good condition to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the vessel.
One-Step Process
If your boat has light to medium oxidation in places, we'll do a one-step buff and polish using compound where needed to remove the oxidation and then follow up with our long-lasting polish.
Two-Step Process
If your boat has heavier oxidation (gel coat looks faded, no more shine left), we'll compound the whole boat and then apply our long-lasting polish.
If you're unsure of what your boat needs (a one-step or two-step process), we always do test spots before we start working to figure out the best process for your gel coat's condition.
Unlike wax that starts to degrade after a few months, we use special, long-lasting polishes and hybrid polymer-based waxes that help protect your gel coat longer than any carnauba wax or pure wax can. This helps your boat stay cleaner longer, makes it easier to clean and resists oxidation for a longer period of time. Read our FAQ about our buffing and polishing services.

Ceramic Protection Package
Our Ceramic Protection Package is a great add-on to your yearly buff and polish. It offers many benefits that will greatly improve the integrity of your boat's finish. Our Ceramic Protection Package will:
After washing the boat, we apply a ceramic detail spray and sealant to the entire boat, including glass windows, non-skid decking, stainless rails and varnished wood rails. (You do not need to move or turn your boat for this service.) Learn more about our Ceramic Protection Package.
A note about traditional ceramic coating...
A traditional ceramic coating requires an enclosed space, special equipment and several days to cure with heat lamps. We work on large yachts up to 150 ft or more and having an enclosed space so we can work on larger boats just isn't feasible for us. We don't recommend applying a ceramic coating outdoors because of the particles and elements in the air, such as dust and moisture, that can ruin the coating as it cures. We use a high-quality, long-lasting ceramic detail spray and sealant that can be applied outdoors and takes less time to cure, yet still offers the same UV protection as a traditional ceramic coating. Learn more about ceramic coatings, sprays and sealants and read our ceramic FAQ that answers the most common questions.
- Boost the UV protection and extend the life of your yearly buff and polish job.
- Help prevent oxidation, corrosion and water spots.
- Add hydrophobic beading and sheeting properties throughout the year to all surfaces on your boat.
- Reduce the amount of buffing and compounding needed, which removes precious layers of gel coat or paint year after year.
- Refresh the shine on glossy surfaces, making your boat look freshly detailed.
