Boat Detailing Boat & Watercraft Detailing

Hull, deck, and cabin, on the trailer or in the slip, on every DFW lake.

Lake water leaves a scum line, sun chalks the gelcoat, and vinyl grows mildew in seams the moment humidity gets into it. We handle all three. We detail boats on the trailer at your home or storage lot, and in the slip on Lewisville, Grapevine, Ray Hubbard, Texoma, Eagle Mountain, Ray Roberts, Joe Pool, and Lavon. Pricing is a base plus a per-foot rate on length overall, published up front, with the exact number confirmed in writing after we walk the boat with you.

The problem we fix

Marine detailing is where quoting games are worst: a per-foot number on the phone, then a revised total once the boat is on the rack. Meanwhile owners genuinely cannot tell whether their hull needs a wax or a full compound. Boaters need published rates and an honest read on whether correction is worth the money.

What’s included

  • Hull, topsides, and deck hand washed with marine-safe soap
  • Waterline scum and lake grime removed
  • Non-skid deck scrubbed, rinsed, and dried
  • Cockpit and helm vacuumed, including under seats
  • Vinyl scrubbed, mildew spot-treated, and conditioned on the deluxe tier and up
  • Hand-applied marine wax with across the gelcoat
  • Stainless steel and chrome polished, rub rail dressed
  • Multi-stage compound, polish, and marine ceramic on the restoration tier

Our professional process

  1. 1

    Length, type, and where it sits

    Send us the length overall, what kind of boat it is, and whether it is on a trailer, on a rack, or in a slip. A photo of the hull side tells us most of what we need.

  2. 2

    An honest read on the gelcoat

    We tell you whether a wax will do it or whether the hull genuinely needs correction. Correction costs real money and we would rather you spend it only when it will pay off.

  3. 3

    Walkaround and written price

    We walk the boat with you, show you the and the mildew up close, and confirm the exact price in writing before anything starts.

  4. 4

    Detail, seal, and photograph

    Hull, deck, cockpit, and compartments, worked in order. You get before-and-after photos of every corrected panel and a final walkaround.

Your starting price, published

These are the published rates, not a phone estimate. Per-foot work carries a base that covers arriving self-sufficient with our own water and power, then a rate for every foot of length. Your exact price is confirmed in writing after we walk it with you.

Build your estimate

Specialty estimates are starting ranges based on length and package, not a locked total. Surface condition is the biggest cost driver on an RV or a boat, and oxidation, chalking, mildew, and heavy staining are impossible to judge from a form. We confirm your exact price in writing after we see the craft, before any work begins.

How to keep it looking new

Rinse the hull and flush after every freshwater outing, and get the boat covered rather than parked open. A waxed hull re-waxed each spring holds gloss for years; an unwaxed one chalks in two summers and then needs compounding, which costs several times more.

The honest answers

  • A base plus a per-foot rate on length overall: $75 plus $5 per foot for a wash and vacuum, $180 plus $16 per foot for our most-booked Deluxe Boat Detail, and $350 plus $28 per foot for Gelcoat Restoration. On a 22 foot bowrider that is about $185, $530, and $965. Heavy or adds $14 per foot.

  • Yes, on all the DFW lakes we serve. In-slip and on-water service adds $5 per foot, which covers the extra setup and containment needed to work over water without putting anything into it.

  • If the gelcoat still has gloss and the problem is a scum line and dullness, a wax is the right call. If the surface is chalky and leaves residue on your hand, it is and needs compounding. We check it in person and tell you plainly, including when correction is not worth it.

  • Normal mildew comes out with our standard vinyl work in the deluxe tier. Vinyl that has gone black in the seams needs a heavy mildew treatment, which is a $119 add-on. We tell you which one you need before we start, and we are honest when staining is permanent.
