Mobile Boat Detailing at Your Home, Dock, or Marina

Pollen, lake film, and summer mildew don't stand a chance. Our Marine Full Refresh starts at $399, and we bring the water and power.

Lake Life Is Hard on a Boat

A boat on Lake Wylie deals with things a car never does. Spring pollen settles into every seam and turns sticky once it gets damp. Summer humidity leaves spotting and mildew on vinyl that never quite dries out. A waterline film builds up while you're tied up, and birds seem to find your cover the minute it comes off.

Keeping up with all of that yourself means hauling buckets down to the dock on your day off. We'd rather you spend that day on the water. Our mobile boat detailing comes to wherever your boat is, with our own water and power.

Marine Full Refresh: from $399

The Marine Full Refresh is a complete interior and exterior boat cleaning. We handle the spaces you sit in and the surfaces people see from the dock, all in one visit.

Boats vary a lot in length, layout, and condition, so pricing can vary by size and condition. We confirm your quote before we start. If you need specialty work beyond a cleaning, ask and we'll tell you honestly whether it's something we take on and quote it separately.

Three Places We Can Detail Your Boat

At home, on the trailer

If your boat lives on a trailer in the driveway or beside the garage, that's often the easiest setup. We have room to walk all the way around it, and you don't have to hook up or launch anything.

At your dock

Plenty of lake homes around Lake Wylie, Tega Cay, and the Belmont side keep a boat at a private dock or on a lift. We bring our own water tank and generator, so it doesn't matter if there's no spigot or outlet on the dock.

At your marina

If you keep a slip, we can meet you there, as long as your marina allows outside detailers. Rules differ from place to place, so it's worth checking with your marina office before you book. We don't have special arrangements with any marina. We just follow each one's rules.

When to Book a Boat Detail

Timing matters on the lake. Here's how most owners think about it:

  • Start of season: after the boat's been covered or stored all winter, a full refresh clears out dust, stale smells, and anything that settled under the cover.
  • After pollen season: Carolina pollen gets into seat seams, cupholders, and carpet. A cleaning once the heavy pollen passes keeps it from grinding in all summer.
  • Mid-summer: heavy use, sunscreen, spilled drinks, and humidity add up fast. A mid-season visit keeps the boat pleasant for guests.
  • End of season: cleaning before the cover goes on means you don't store the summer's grime and moisture along with the boat.

Since we book one job at a time, it helps to reach out early if you have a particular weekend in mind.

Honest expectations

Some marks come out completely. Others, like old mildew staining set deep in vinyl or long-standing discoloration, may improve without disappearing. We don't guarantee complete stain or odor removal, because results depend on the material and how long the problem has been there. We'll look at your boat and tell you what's realistic before we start.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my boat need to be out of the water?

No. We can detail your boat on its trailer at home, at your dock, or at your marina if the marina allows outside detailers. Tell us where it is when you book.

Do you need water or power at the dock?

No. We bring our own water tank and generator, so a dock without a spigot or outlet isn't a problem.

How much does boat detailing cost?

The Marine Full Refresh starts at $399. Pricing can vary by size and condition, and we confirm your quote before we start. A few photos and your boat's length help us quote accurately.

Can you get mildew spots out of my boat seats?

We clean vinyl and upholstery thoroughly, and a lot of surface mildew comes up. Staining that has set into the material may only lighten, so we can't guarantee complete removal. We'll give you an honest read when we see it.

Do you detail boats in the off-season?

Our hours are Monday through Saturday, 8 AM to 5 PM, and weather can affect outdoor scheduling. End-of-season cleaning before the boat is covered is one of the smartest times to book, so reach out and we'll find a day that works.
