Boat Detailing in Tega Cay, SC

For Tega Cay homes with a boat out back, we detail right at your dock or lift — and we're especially useful at the end of the season, before the cover goes on.

Built for Tega Cay's lake homes

Tega Cay sits on a peninsula wrapped by Lake Wylie, with roughly 13 miles of shoreline. That means a lot of backyards that end at a dock, and a lot of boats that live in the water or on a lift all summer.

That's exactly the setup mobile detailing was made for. Instead of trailering the boat out of a quiet cove to get it cleaned, our mobile boat detailing comes to you. We carry our own water tank and generator, so we don't need to run anything from your house down to the dock.

The end-of-season detail: the one most owners skip

In the Carolinas, a boat doesn't just sit quietly for the winter. Warm spells and humidity keep moisture around, and anything left on the boat — sunscreen, spilled drinks, leaves, pollen residue, a damp towel under a seat — has months to settle in.

A thorough clean before the boat is covered, shrink-wrapped, or stored means:

  • Less of a head start for mildew on vinyl and carpet under the cover
  • No dried-on summer grime to fight in spring
  • A boat that's ready to enjoy on the first warm weekend, not a cleaning project

A simple fall plan for Tega Cay boat owners

Here's how the end-of-season jobs usually split up:

  • You: pull out personal gear, life jackets, towels, food, and anything that holds moisture.
  • Us: a complete interior and exterior cleaning with the Marine Full Refresh.
  • Your marine mechanic: engine winterizing and any mechanical service. We're detailers, not mechanics, so we don't winterize engines.
  • Then: cover or store the boat once it's clean and dry.

Working at your dock

Every Tega Cay dock is a little different — steep yards, long walkways, lifts, covered slips. To keep the day smooth, tell us when you book whether the boat is in the water or on a lift, how we reach the dock, and where we can park. If anything about access needs sorting out, we'll confirm it with you before the appointment.

If you keep your boat at a marina rather than at home, check your marina's rules on outside vendors first. We're an independent company with no marina arrangements, and we only work where we're permitted.

Tega Cay boat detailing FAQs

Do you winterize boat engines?

No. We're detailers, not marine mechanics. We handle the cleaning with our Marine Full Refresh; engine winterizing and mechanical work should go to your marine mechanic.

Should I detail my boat before I cover or shrink-wrap it?

Yes, that's the ideal time. Cleaning before the boat is covered means dirt, sunscreen, and moisture-holding grime aren't sealed in for the winter, and you start next season with a clean boat.

Can you work on a boat that's up on a lift?

In many cases, yes. Tell us when you book how the boat sits and how we reach the dock, and we'll confirm the plan with you before the appointment.

Will you need to run a hose or cord from my house?

No. We bring our own water tank and generator, which is especially handy when the dock is a long walk from the house.

I have a large tritoon. Does the price change?

Pricing can vary by size and condition. The Marine Full Refresh starts at $399, and we confirm your quote before we start.
