How often should I get my boat detailed?
For optimal protection and appearance, we recommend professional boat detailing every 3 to 6 months. Regular detailing helps prevent oxidation, salt buildup, and UV damage, especially in coastal environments like Pensacola, Gulf Breeze, and Perdido Key, FL.

What does professional boat detailing include?
Our comprehensive boat detailing service includes exterior washing, gel coat polishing, oxidation removal, metal restoration, waxing, and optional upgrades like ceramic coating and teak treatment. Interior cleaning and upholstery care are also available for full-boat restoration.

Why is ceramic coating better than traditional wax for boats?
Ceramic coating for boats provides superior long-term protection compared to wax. It offers a glossy, hydrophobic finish that resists UV rays, oxidation, salt, and grime—lasting up to 2 years with less maintenance and easier cleaning between services.
