Per-foot pricing, every service
Every quote is by the foot so you know the number before we ever touch the boat. Condition moves you within the range — a lightly used boat quotes at the low end, heavy oxidation or a neglected interior at the high end. Here's the full menu:
| Service | Typical rate | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Wash & wax | $17–$25 / ft | 22 ft center console: $375–$550 |
| Full detail (compound & seal) | $25–$35 / ft | 24–27 ft boat: $750–$1,050 |
| Oxidation removal / gelcoat restoration | $20–$30 / ft | Added to a detail when hulls are chalky |
| Marine ceramic coating | $60–$150 / ft | 2–5 year protection, correction included |
| Interior & mold removal | $12–$20 / ft | Vinyl, compartments, non-skid, mildew treated |
| Hull & bottom cleaning (in-water) | $2–$4 / ft per clean | Monthly plans for wet-slip boats |
| Pontoon detailing | $25–$40 / ft | Aluminum brightening included |
| Jet ski / PWC | $150–$300 / ski | Multi-ski discounts |
| Canvas & isinglass | $100–$300+ / enclosure | Cleaned, cleared, re-waterproofed |
| Metal & teak polishing | Quoted by brightwork | Often bundled with a full detail |
What moves the price
- Condition. Heavy oxidation means more compounding passes; a season of neglect in the cabin means more hours. This is the biggest factor.
- Boat type. T-tops, flybridges, extensive stainless, and teak add working surface beyond raw length.
- Frequency. Recurring wash plans price below one-off cleans — the boat never gets bad enough to need correction.
- Where it's kept. Wet-slip boats usually add periodic bottom cleaning; trailered boats skip it.
The cheapest detail is the one you don't need. A ceramic coating costs more upfront but turns every future wash into a rinse — most owners break even against repeated full details within two seasons.
