BoatDetailing
§ The work
Florida sun and salt dull gelcoat fast. A proper detail — not just a rinse — is what keeps oxidation, water spots, and mildew from setting in and protects what your boat is worth.
I detail boats in the slip anywhere in St. Petersburg and around Tampa Bay: hand wash, compounding on oxidized gelcoat, machine polish, wax and sealant, plus metal, vinyl, canvas, non-skid, and interior work.
Pair it with an underwater hull cleaning on the same visit and the whole boat — above and below the waterline — is handled in one appointment.

- Hand wash and full salt rinse
- Compounding and machine polish on oxidized gelcoat

§ Common questions
Boat Detailing — answered.
How much do boat detailing services cost in St. Petersburg?
Pricing depends on boat length, condition, and how much oxidation needs compounding. Call or text 727-641-2269 with your boat size and you'll get a straight quote, usually the same day.
Do you come to my marina or dock?
Yes — all detailing is done in your slip anywhere in St. Petersburg and the greater Tampa Bay area.
How often should a boat be detailed in Florida?
A wash after each use plus a full wax two to three times a year keeps Florida sun and salt from dulling the gelcoat. Boats on a lift can often stretch it; boats in the water need it more.
Can you detail and clean the hull in one visit?
Yes — since I dive too, I can handle the topside detail and the underwater hull cleaning in the same appointment.
