    In Water or On the Hard. We Come to Your Vessel Wherever It Is.

    Complete detailing services for yachts at dock, on lifts, on trailers, and on the hard throughout South Florida.

    Complete Service. Any Location.

    Most of our detailing work is performed dockside while your vessel remains in the water. This means no haul out costs, no scheduling around tide windows, and no disruption to your vessel's operational schedule. For services that benefit from or require the vessel being on the hard such as full hull compounding below the waterline or bottom preparation we coordinate directly with your boatyard or storage facility and bring our full team and equipment to the vessel wherever it is located.

    We Work With Your Boatyard.

    If your vessel is hauled for annual maintenance, storage, or repairs we coordinate directly with your boatyard or storage facility to schedule detailing services during the haul out. We arrive with all necessary equipment, work efficiently within the boatyard's operational requirements, and return your vessel to the water in showroom condition. Many of our clients schedule full hull compounding and ceramic coating during their annual haul out to maximize the protection and appearance of the entire hull before returning to the water.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do I need to haul my vessel for detailing?

    No. The majority of our services are performed dockside while your vessel remains in the water. Haul out is only required for services that specifically address surfaces below the waterline such as full hull compounding or ceramic coating of the entire hull.

    Can you perform a full detail while the vessel is on a lift?

    Yes. Vessels on lifts or in dry storage facilities are fully accessible for most detailing services. We work around the lift structure and bring all necessary equipment to complete the service at your storage location.

    Do you travel to boatyards outside Fort Lauderdale?

    Yes. We service vessels throughout South Florida including boatyards and marinas in Miami, Palm Beach, Pompano Beach, and surrounding areas. Contact us with your vessel location and we will confirm availability and scheduling.

    How do you coordinate access to a boatyard?

    We coordinate directly with the boatyard operator or storage facility to arrange access and schedule service at a time that works within their operational requirements. Most boatyards we work with are familiar with our team and the process is straightforward.

    Can ceramic coating be applied while the vessel is on the hard?

    Yes. Hauling the vessel is actually ideal for full hull ceramic coating because it provides complete access to all hull surfaces including below the waterline. We perform paint or gelcoat correction first to ensure the surface is flawless before coating is applied.
