Salt Never Stops
Salt spray dries into the gelcoat and stainless every single run, then bakes in at the dock.
Daily exposureBoca Raton Marine Detailing
Marine detailing for boatsthat live in salt water.
Dockside gelcoat correction, ceramic protection, metal polishing, and cabin care along the Boca Raton and Intracoastal waterfront. Same standard we bring to garage-kept exotics, applied to your vessel.
We come to your slip, lift, or trailer. You do not move the boat.
Why Boats Are Harder Than Cars
Salt, sun, and standing water work around the clock.
A car gets a garage. A boat sits in the weather, in the water, and in full sun with nothing between the surface and the elements.
Sun Chalks Gelcoat
Florida UV oxidizes the surface until color goes flat, dusty, and porous to the touch.
OxidationWaterline Staining
Brackish Intracoastal water leaves a rust-colored band that scrubbing alone will not lift.
Hull stainingHumidity Below Deck
Closed cabins hold moisture, and that is where odor, mildew, and vinyl damage start.
Interior careWhat We Do On Board
Four areas of work, one visit.
Packages are built around the vessel in front of us, not a fixed menu. Take one area or all four.
Gelcoat
Wash, decontamination, and oxidation removal
Salt-cutting wash, hull cleaning to the waterline, then compounding and polishing to bring chalked gelcoat back to depth.
Restores color and glossProtection
Marine ceramic and sealant packages
A cured protective layer built for saltwater, so spray rinses off easier and the shine holds through the season.
Season-long defenseMetal & Teak
Stainless, chrome, and teak treatment
Rail and hardware polishing, rust spot removal, plus teak cleaning and oiling that keeps the grain warm instead of gray.
Details that show firstInterior & Canvas
Cabin, vinyl, and canvas care
Deep clean of seating and cabin surfaces, vinyl conditioning, mildew treatment, and canvas or isinglass cleaning.
Fresh below deckGelcoat, Explained
Gelcoat is not paint and it does not forgive.
It is a thick, porous outer layer, and every polish removes a little of it.
After the work is done, you notice:
- Salt rinses off instead of drying into film
- Color stays deep instead of chalking out
- Waterline stays cleaner between trips
- Cabin smells dry, not damp
That is why we measure the job to the surface. Cutting hard once feels great and costs you years of gelcoat later.
How A Visit Runs
Four steps, no surprises at the dock.
- 1Dockside walkthrough
We meet you at your slip or lift, look over gelcoat, hardware, canvas, and cabin, then agree on scope before anything starts.
- 2Salt and growth removal
Full wash with marine-safe chemistry, waterline and hull cleaning, and decontamination so polishing works on clean surface.
- 3Correction and polish
Machine compounding and refining on oxidized panels, matched to how much gelcoat the surface can safely give up.
- 4Protect and hand back
Coating or sealant applied, metal polished, interior finished, and a short care rundown so the work lasts.

Marine FAQ
Questions boat owners ask us first.
Yes. Most work happens dockside, in the slip, or on the lift. Bottom work below the waterline is handled separately since it needs a haul out.
A protected hull usually wants a maintenance wash every two to four weeks and a full detail once or twice a season. Boats kept uncovered on the water need it more often.
Usually. If the chalking has not gone through the pigment layer, compounding and polishing bring the color back. If it has, we will tell you before charging you for a polish that will not hold.
Yes. Gelcoat is more porous than automotive clear coat and it lives in constant salt exposure, so the prep, the product, and the cure time are all different.
A wash and protect on a smaller center console can be a few hours. A full correction on a larger cruiser or yacht may run one to three days.
