Two specialties, one standard
The boat out back. The cars in the garage. One trusted detailer.
What we do
Five services. Built for salt.
Proof, not promises
Real boats. Real before & after.
Sportfish engine room restoration
A working engine room taken from rust-stained and grimy back to survey-ready white — bilges, machinery, and hardware detailed by hand.
Oxidized hull, corrected & coated
Chalky, sun-beaten gelcoat on a trailered center console — wet-compounded, refined, and sealed back to a wet-look gloss.
Stainless hardware, de-rusted & mirror polished
Salt-seized stainless brought back to a true mirror — the standard we hold for every rail, bracket, and fitting aboard.
Watch the work
No stock footage. No staging.
Sixteen seconds shot on the job: paint under inspection light, an outboard in the water, an engine room brought back to white, a red car corrected. This is the standard your quote buys.

Boaters and collectors, on the record
★★★★★“Ivan is absolutely the most detailed boat cleaner I have come across. My 2013 Outrage is now cleaner than when it came out of the factory! I will be using Ivan to detail both my cars and boat in the future. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IVAN!!”
★★★★★“I was recommended to Ivan for the detail on my boat. I was very pleased with his attention to detail. My boat was really in need of a good once over however I didn't get that.. he spent day after day working on every inch of my SeaVee. My boat looks like it came straight from the factory. I've never seen the seats and head area look like they now look! Thank you Ivan. Will recommend to all that ask.”
★★★★★“WOW! I have used many detailers in the past and I have to say Ivan did an incredible job on my car. He took his time, 6–7 hours literally getting into every square inch of the vehicle. I am very very happy with the outcome and he will be my go to guy moving forward. Thank you Ivan!”
★★★★★“Ivan has been compounding and waxing my 54' Motoryacht for over 3 seasons. He really knows what he is doing and has great work skills. Ivan has a super eye for details and is very conscientious of the job he is on. I will continue to use him as long as I'm in the boating world.”
★★★★★“Ivan has been taking care of our boat for 3 years now. He does an amazing job at keeping it looking brand new. Communication and follow-up is top notch. Highly recommend!”
★★★★★“Ivan detailed our boat for the first time last month. He is very detail oriented, pays attention to the areas that need more love and was overall very hardworking and accommodating! In this economy, it is very hard to find people who will follow through. We have him on a monthly maintenance program and our boat has never looked better!”

Quick answers
Before you call
What areas does Zea Detailing serve?
We're based in West Palm Beach and serve Palm Beach County and Broward County — the coastal corridor from Hollywood and Fort Lauderdale north through Pompano, Lighthouse Point, Boca Raton, Delray, Boynton, Manalapan, Palm Beach, West Palm Beach, Singer Island, Palm Beach Gardens, North Palm Beach, Jupiter and Tequesta. We come to your dock, marina, dry stack, or driveway.
How much does boat detailing cost?
We publish our rates. A fresh-water wash is $10 per foot, a wash and wax $30 per foot, gelcoat correction $20 per foot topsides and $15 per foot hull sides per step, and ceramic coating starts at $250 per foot with the correction included. A 34-foot center console is $340 for a wash or about $2,380 for a two-step correction. See the full rate card on our pricing page.
Do you detail cars as well as boats?
Yes. Zea Detailing specializes in two things: marine detailing (yachts, sportfish, center consoles) and high-end automotive detailing (Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Range Rover, Tesla, and the trucks that tow the boat). Many clients have us maintain both on one schedule.
Are you licensed and insured to work at marinas?
Yes — Zea Detailing is licensed, bonded and insured, and we carry the certificates marinas and gated communities require. We coordinate dockmaster and HOA requirements ourselves.
