What boat owners say
★★★★★“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!”

Marine FAQ
Boaters ask, we answer
Do you come to my dock or marina?
Yes — we're 100% mobile and fully self-contained. Private backyard docks, marina slips, dry stacks, boatyards: we bring the equipment, water treatment, and power. For marinas we carry the required insurance certificates and coordinate with the dockmaster ourselves.
What size boats do you detail?
Everything from jet skis and 20-foot center consoles to 100+ foot motor yachts. Scheduling scales with the vessel — a large yacht gets a staged program, not a rushed afternoon.
How often should my boat be professionally washed in Florida?
In-water boats on this coast do best on a weekly washdown; lightly used or lift-kept boats often hold at bi-weekly. Salt sitting on gelcoat, metals, and glass is what ages a boat — cadence is everything.
My gelcoat is chalky — do I need new paint?
Almost never. Oxidation is a surface condition; multi-stage compounding removes the dead layer and restores factory gloss on most hulls. See the before-and-afters in our gallery — those hulls looked terminal too.
Is ceramic coating worth it on a boat?
In Florida, more than anywhere. A marine ceramic coating sheds salt and waterline scum, cuts washdown time dramatically, and protects gelcoat from UV chalking for years instead of the weeks a wax survives.
How much does boat detailing cost per foot?
Boats are priced per linear foot: $10/ft for a fresh-water wash, $30/ft for a wash and wax, $20/ft topsides and $15/ft hull sides per step of gelcoat correction, and from $250/ft for a ceramic coating with the correction included. Condition decides how many correction steps a hull needs, which is why we price correction per step rather than quoting one number sight unseen. Full rate card on our pricing page.
