Maintenance Service
Boat Detailing & Wash in Tampa Bay
Boat detailing and wash service at your slip across St. Pete, Clearwater, Tampa, Tierra Verde, and Gulfport. We deliberately strip the menu to two real tiers — basic wash on a recurring or one-off cadence, and a full detail once or twice a year — plus a metal-polish add-on for stainless rails and towers. No wash + wax middle tier (wax does not survive Tampa Bay heat). No ceramic packages (we refer those to a coating-specialist partner).

Why We Strip the Menu to Two Tiers
Most detail shops sell four tiers — basic wash, wash and wax, full detail, ceramic package — because it gives them four price points to convert on. We tried that and it did not hold up in Tampa Bay. Wax loses meaningful protection in 6–10 weeks of Florida heat, faster than a realistic re-wax appointment, so the wash + wax tier is paying for a layer that is already breaking down before your next visit. Ceramic done right is a 48+ hour shop job in a controlled environment — a different skill set from rotational dockside detailing. So we kept basic wash and full detail, added a metal-polish add-on, and refer ceramic out. The math works better for the customer.
What Our Full Detail Includes
Every full detail includes the same line-by-line scope regardless of boat size. Exterior wash down. Oxidation removal. A 1–2 step polish (we only touch compound and polish at the full-detail interval; doing it more often than necessary thins gelcoat). Sealant protection. Non-skid treatment. Deep clean. Glass and metal polish. Interior wipe-down. We recommend this service once or twice a year, with basic washes (subscription or one-off) in between to keep the gelcoat protected between deeper visits. At handoff, our detailers walk the boat with you — pointing out what we found, what we corrected, and anything we want you to keep an eye on. You also get a comprehensive before-and-after photo and video record of the work.
Dockside at Your Slip — No Trailer Required
Roughly 90% of detailing happens above the waterline and can be done at your slip. Wash, wax/sealant, compound and polish, interior, canvas, stainless polish, bilge clean — all dockside. The exceptions are bottom paint, below-waterline hull compounding, and hull ceramic coating, which need the boat dry. We service Tampa Bay on scheduled routes, so whether your boat sits at a marina off Boca Ciega Bay or a private dock in Tierra Verde, the workflow is the same — we show up with the kit pre-staged, knock out the work, walk it with you at handoff.
