BOAT DETAILING TESTIMONIALS AND REVIEWS
We have pulled these comments from emails that our customers have sent. We are so thankful and appreciative for them (both the customers and their feedback) and look forward to many more years with them.
"Deckhand Detailing rocks! Our family so appreciates the team at Deckhand Detailing, they have changed our boating experience completely this summer! Our daughter is no longer afraid to come aboard for fear of spiders and instead of spending 2 hours cleaning the boat before every outing, we now get to spend more time out on the water. Great communication, well organized and quality service, love that Bekah and the team keep us well-informed about the upcoming schedule, are super flexible, and the team communicates their observations and recommendations for maintenance and detailing. Our 31' boat is clean from top to bottom and just looks beautiful. So glad to have found Deckhand Detailing and appreciate the quality service that doesn’t break the bank. Wow! Thank you, Deckhand Detailing!" T Trexel (31 Sea Ray)
"I use Deckhand Detailing year-round and everyone else that works on boats, you have to hound them to get the job done. You guys are the only ones that act professional, almost like you are not in the boating industry and you are in a normal industry. Of the dozens of contractors I work with on my boat from S3, Hatton and many others, Deckhand Detailing is by far the best to work with from a customer service and communication standpoint." R Kershaw (52 Maritimo)
"He did a fantastic job - it looks absolutely amazing, and his attention to detail and work ethic really impressed me. My boat has never looked shinier and sexier, and my husband even said so - he's the hard one to please!" Steve M. (46 Ocean)
"Just wanted to say, “Thank You”. The boat looks great. Really very happy with the wash. Looking forward to you all keeping her looking good in the future!" Steve E. (32 Bayliner)
"Expertise, care, flexibility and efficiency. I've used Deckhand Detailing for regular cleanings for the past 20 months at two marinas, as well as annual waxing. I can’t say enough about this team. From the initial expert and honest advice in recommending services, to the regular scheduling emails with flexibility, to the actual cleaning of my boat, I have always gotten the distinct feeling of kindness. I wish the whole world worked like that."
- Solom H (30 Jeanneau)

"I really appreciate the work you’ve been doing on my boat, and the care with which the water pressure is managed to minimize seepage into the hull (my boat isn’t the best-built in this regard, unfortunately). Still, the boat is cleaned properly. I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and the team." Solom H. (30 Jeanneau)
" Thank you very much for all of your service and we will be sure to contact you in the future when we get a new boat." John L. (Ranger Tug)

"Just wanted to pass along that my boat neighbor down in Des Moines was very impressed with the crew that came out and washed the boat... Might even get a little business from him. Do the same crews typically wash our boat and how many usually do it. I ask as I would like to put a little something extra in there stockings this year for X-Mas. We appreciate their hard work and keeping the boat looking good." Dan P (48 Silverton)
"He did an amazing perfect job. Let me know how to pay and be sure to pass along my satisfaction" Steve V (43 Eastbay)
"I went by the boat the next morning - it looked amazing! Thank you so much, and I am definitely going to use the service again once next spring hits...the boat looked fantastic, and we were so happy to have it done...Thanks again - look forward to a big spring clean/wax and regular washings next summer!" Stacy H (35 Carver)
"I have been meaning to send you a note to thank your crew for the great job prepping my boat for my wife's 50th birthday party. It was me and 10 women in perfect weather cruising around on a spotless yacht for almost 4 hours drinking champagne. Not a bad way to spend the day! In all the time I have owned that boat, it has never looked better. Everything was done right according to schedule. Of course, now my expectations have been raised as to how it should look!" Tim B (30 Tolly)
"The boat looks great - I'm really happy with what you were able to get done and I appreciate you spending the extra effort. I'm very happy with the end result. I didn't expect it to look like new since it's an old boat but I wanted it to be clean... and that's what it is now. Thanks again for going the extra mile to make the difference. I'll be sure to contact you again for the next work I have planned." Bill G (41 Meridian)

"I appreciate your initiative and work ethic for seeing and following up on something that you feel could be better. The first time your business cleaned my old boat was about 15 years ago. You cleaned it again when I prepped it for sale. Both times I was amazed at how your teams did a better job than I did cleaning it - and I take care of my boats! Now the last two years of waxing and washing has been just as good. It’s very difficult to achieve and maintain that level of quality in any service business for that length of time. You seem to have found a way to do that. " Stuart O (43 Grand Banks)
"Our visit last weekend was wonderful. It was great to spend the weekend enjoying the lake as opposed to cleaning." Tom M (41 Maxum)

"I really appreciate the work your team does." David H (37 sailboat)

Thank you, Natalie, for a wonderful job!! Our boat hasn't been this clean for some time! We will be contacting you about waxing in the fall. Thanks, again.

- David K (53 Carver)
Oh and by the way....the boat looks fantastic! :)

- Jerry L (58 Krogen)
Hi Natalie, Please pass this message along to your crew... I get many compliments on how clean my boat looks. Even coming back from Blake Island this weekend, the boat was dirty from kids crawling all over with sandy shoes but I still got compliments...many people mention that the boat has a great shine to it. I have never washed the boat myself...so all these compliments go to your team. Please let them know they are doing a noticeably great job. :)
- Brian G (41 Meridian)
Thanks for your email Natalie. Please go ahead with the work outlined below. She’s in your more than capable hands! Also, double thanks for looking after OUR pocketbook! By the way - I loved the story on your website - we should all have such a heartwarming startup story!
- Linda O (40' motoryacht)
Natalie, You are so awesome. Thanks for your diligence. I did notice the boat was cleaned; I had a meeting on the boat the other night and it was nice to show up to a clean boat.
- Michael D (38 Tollycraft)
Thanks for the extra effort. Much appreciated. I'll take it from here, starting with your suggestions.
- Mike Q (47 sailboat)
The final results are in. The boat looks great! I had a great time working with Tom yesterday and every time I thought he was done, he'd pick up a rag and go after some other spot. Smartest thing I've done in a long time is let you folks take over the last item on my list. If it doesn't sell, it sure won't be because of the appearance. Thanks!
- Bob H (34 Silverton)
We had a spectacular eve on the lake tonight on...the cleanest shiniest boat in Carrillon Pt. Thx to you & and the crew!

You guys are doing great work!! Thank you so much!!

Thank you, Natalie. The boat looks great inside and out!

Keep up the good work! Every time they see my boat people ask who does such a good job keeping it looking so good and I always tell them you! You were the talk of the last happy hour at MBYC as well so I think you are doing a great job. Thanks! PS – if you want to leave a few cards in the cup holder at the steering station I would be happy to hand them out when people ask about you.
- Shawn S (34 Formula)
Thanks Natalie. I appreciate the work that your crew did!

Hi Natalie, I just wanted to send you a thanks for a really nice detail done on our boat a couple of weeks ago. The young man that did the work that day did a very nice job, especially on the windows. I was very pleased with it. Bring him back anytime.
- Jim C (35 Silverton)
Our boat looked great upon our return!! Good job on the bird control. And, THANK YOU for the rapid response to my call for help!!! Great job and many thanks for your keen attention.

Good Morning Natalie - Where have you been all our boating life!?! We want to thank you so much for taking such good care of our boat for the boat show! It’s such a pleasure working with you – and your crew. You are so very much appreciated for the excellent work you and your crew do for us. Your “customer notes” are just one more reason you are superior to anyone out there. Nobody cares for our boat as you have! Thank you very, very much.
- Linda O
I'm really pleased with the level of service you have provided this summer. Thank you!
- Jack C (37 Nordic Tug)
Natalie, We stayed aboard our boat Friday night, and it was so nice to have it all clean! It looked wonderful and we appreciate your time and effort in helping us out! Thanks again!

The boat looks great - We figured it would take a few washings, plus the waxing and some detailing to really look great so we will want to schedule those as soon as possible :) We really felt bad that he had to be out in the pouring rain - but really appreciate that he was willing to do that. Thanks!
- Holly E (41 Meridian)
Hi Natalie, It looks like I’m overdue for a boat waxing. The work that your team did the last time was great. I’d like to get on your schedule for a waxing. Coincidentally I was on the docks yesterday at my marina and learned my slip neighbor who also has 41 Meridian will be getting similar work done by your team. Sounds like you guys are getting a great reputation. Thanks!

Natalie, Thank you for the update. I really appreciate the work you and your crew are putting into this.

From Brokers
I have had the opportunity to come to know Natalie Sears over the last two and a half years and will gladly share my opinion. She has been a pleasure to have had the opportunity to get to know. It is with great care that I select who will help me take care of my clients. She is very even keeled and offers a straightforward approach to handling my customers and their needs. She has made a good name for herself in the marine industry and runs a honest business that pays attention to details. She is great to talk to on a personal level because she actually listens to what you are saying, and can offer her valuable opinion based on her own experiences in business or life. She has had the opportunity to manage her crew for a while and seems to have a good attitude toward her employees. Her crew is always positive even when there are many reasons to look at the negatives while working outside in the cold or rain or both. I have come to know her well enough to find we have a friend in common that used to be her manager at Microsoft. He has told me in no uncertain terms what a terrific person she is. He is not the type that would say that about just anyone.
- JR Yuse (Compass Point Yachts)
Thank you! You always do a great job making us look good.
- Gregg G (Krogen Yachts)
Hi, Natalie — the boats look good — Tom did a super job. Thank you. I’m pleased and will contact you from now one when we need washing.

- Jerry L (58 Krogen)
Hi Natalie, Please pass this message along to your crew... I get many compliments on how clean my boat looks. Even coming back from Blake Island this weekend, the boat was dirty from kids crawling all over with sandy shoes but I still got compliments...many people mention that the boat has a great shine to it. I have never washed the boat myself...so all these compliments go to your team. Please let them know they are doing a noticeably great job. :)
- Brian G (41 Meridian)
Thanks for your email Natalie. Please go ahead with the work outlined below. She’s in your more than capable hands! Also, double thanks for looking after OUR pocketbook! By the way - I loved the story on your website - we should all have such a heartwarming startup story!
- Linda O (40' motoryacht)
Natalie, You are so awesome. Thanks for your diligence. I did notice the boat was cleaned; I had a meeting on the boat the other night and it was nice to show up to a clean boat.
- Michael D (38 Tollycraft)
Thanks for the extra effort. Much appreciated. I'll take it from here, starting with your suggestions.
- Mike Q (47 sailboat)
The final results are in. The boat looks great! I had a great time working with Tom yesterday and every time I thought he was done, he'd pick up a rag and go after some other spot. Smartest thing I've done in a long time is let you folks take over the last item on my list. If it doesn't sell, it sure won't be because of the appearance. Thanks!
- Bob H (34 Silverton)
We had a spectacular eve on the lake tonight on...the cleanest shiniest boat in Carrillon Pt. Thx to you & and the crew!

Keep up the good work! Every time they see my boat people ask who does such a good job keeping it looking so good and I always tell them you! You were the talk of the last happy hour at MBYC as well so I think you are doing a great job. Thanks! PS – if you want to leave a few cards in the cup holder at the steering station I would be happy to hand them out when people ask about you.
- Shawn S (34 Formula)
Thanks Natalie. I appreciate the work that your crew did!

Hi Natalie, I just wanted to send you a thanks for a really nice detail done on our boat a couple of weeks ago. The young man that did the work that day did a very nice job, especially on the windows. I was very pleased with it. Bring him back anytime.

Good Morning Natalie - Where have you been all our boating life!?! We want to thank you so much for taking such good care of our boat for the boat show! It’s such a pleasure working with you – and your crew. You are so very much appreciated for the excellent work you and your crew do for us. Your “customer notes” are just one more reason you are superior to anyone out there. Nobody cares for our boat as you have! Thank you very, very much.

The boat looks great - We figured it would take a few washings, plus the waxing and some detailing to really look great so we will want to schedule those as soon as possible :) We really felt bad that he had to be out in the pouring rain - but really appreciate that he was willing to do that. Thanks!
- Holly E (41 Meridian)
Hi Natalie, It looks like I’m overdue for a boat waxing. The work that your team did the last time was great. I’d like to get on your schedule for a waxing. Coincidentally I was on the docks yesterday at my marina and learned my slip neighbor who also has 41 Meridian will be getting similar work done by your team. Sounds like you guys are getting a great reputation. Thanks!

Natalie, Thank you for the update. I really appreciate the work you and your crew are putting into this.

From Brokers
I have had the opportunity to come to know Natalie Sears over the last two and a half years and will gladly share my opinion. She has been a pleasure to have had the opportunity to get to know. It is with great care that I select who will help me take care of my clients. She is very even keeled and offers a straightforward approach to handling my customers and their needs. She has made a good name for herself in the marine industry and runs a honest business that pays attention to details. She is great to talk to on a personal level because she actually listens to what you are saying, and can offer her valuable opinion based on her own experiences in business or life. She has had the opportunity to manage her crew for a while and seems to have a good attitude toward her employees. Her crew is always positive even when there are many reasons to look at the negatives while working outside in the cold or rain or both. I have come to know her well enough to find we have a friend in common that used to be her manager at Microsoft. He has told me in no uncertain terms what a terrific person she is. He is not the type that would say that about just anyone.
- JR Yuse (Compass Point Yachts)
Thank you! You always do a great job making us look good.
- Gregg G (Krogen Yachts)
Hi, Natalie — the boats look good — Tom did a super job. Thank you. I’m pleased and will contact you from now one when we need washing.
- Scott H (Waterline Boats)
