Two Levels of Clean

Whether you want a thorough freshening up or a full show-quality detail, we have an option that fits the way you use your boat.

Option 1

General Clean

Essential

A top-to-bottom hand wash, inside and out. A great choice for boats that are already in good shape and just need a proper refresh between outings or before pull-out.

  • Glass cleaned throughout
  • Open carpeted areas vacuumed

30% surcharge on boats over 8'6" beam. $75 additional for boats with a tower.

Option 2

Complete Detail

Full Service

A comprehensive interior and exterior treatment that restores your boat's finish, deep-cleans every surface, and leaves it protected from the elements.

  • Exterior polished to restore gel coat gloss
  • Full wax application for finish protection
  • Upholstery deep-cleaned with professional vinyl cleaner
  • Carpeted areas extracted with commercial equipment
  • All storage areas wiped or vacuumed (if cleared of personal items)
  • Outdrive cleaned to remove scale and lime deposits
  • Aluminum tube brightener treatment for pontoons

30% surcharge on boats over 8'6" beam. $150 additional for boats with a tower. Heavily oxidized finishes may require an estimate before work begins.

Storage Disclaimer

Boat length- length of the boat is rounded up to the next foot, i.e., a 20’4” boat is rounded up to 21’. We do not count the outdrive in the length; however, we do count the swim platform, slides, etc. that may be extended off the stern or bow of the boat. Add 2’ to the overall length for boats with trailers.

Add $250.00 to above storage fees for boats over 8 ½ feet wide. Max width of 10’

Add $350.00 to above storage fees for double decker pontoons or similar height boats such as Cabin Cruisers.

Add $75 for general cleaning boats with towers and $150 for complete details of boats with towers. 

A separate storage charge of 1/3 the winter storage rate applies for the months of June, July and August if your unit remains in storge over the summer months. 

Please give us a minimum of 5 days’ notice in the spring when you want your boat out of storage. Getting your boat out of storage often times requires moving numerous other boats to get yours out. 

Storage space is reserved based on the date a signed reservation and agreement form is received. We will be unable to guarantee a storage space if not submitted.
