Boat Washes & Maintenance in Boca Raton
Fresh-water washdowns, chamois dry, metals wiped, and interior refresh on a standing schedule — the program that keeps a boat looking new for a decade.
Zea Detailing provides mobile boat washes & maintenance detailing in Boca Raton — at Boca Raton Resort & Club Marina, Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club Marina, and private docks in Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club and The Sanctuary — for boats from 20 to 100+ feet. Licensed, bonded and insured; based in West Palm Beach; Palm Beach County.
What it is: A boat maintenance detail is a scheduled, professional fresh-water washdown and wipe-down of the entire vessel — hull, deck, glass, stainless, upholstery — that removes salt before it etches the finish. In South Florida, weekly or bi-weekly service is what separates boats that stay new from boats that need restoration every two years.
Boat Washes & Maintenance on Boca Raton water and driveways
A Contender on a lift behind a house in Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club spends its week in salt haze off the Intracoastal, and the run out through Boca Raton Inlet coats everything forward of the console in dried spray. Lake Boca raft-ups add sunscreen film and footprints to the non-skid. Left alone between trips, that salt loads into gelcoat pores, hazes stainless rails, and dulls SeaDek until scrubbing it clean takes real chemistry. A standing fresh-water washdown on a weekly or bi-weekly cadence keeps it at the surface, where a soap wash and chamois dry still remove it.
Most Boca Raton work happens behind gates, so we clear the visit once and keep the same detailer on the schedule — the guard at The Sanctuary or Mizner Lake Estates learns one truck, one name. At Boca Raton Resort & Club Marina and Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club Marina we work around dockmaster hours, quiet gear and hoses kept tight. Expect glass and metals chamois-dried spot-free, non-skid and SeaDek scrubbed, an interior wipe-down, and a note when we see coating wearing thin or an upholstery seam starting to open. Where the garage holds a Ferrari or a Range Rover, we add the vehicle wash to the same visit.
What Boca Raton does to a finish
Dual-asset care, one schedule
Boat and car programs on the same standing visit — one detailer your gate staff knows, one invoice, zero coordination from you.
Estate discretion
Gate and staff protocols respected, quiet equipment where it matters. We work for the household, not the audience.
Intracoastal salt + full sun
Yachts on Lake Boca and the ICW live in salt haze. Coating plus cadence keeps dark hulls and topside paint from burning out.

Boat Washes & Maintenance in Boca Raton — FAQ
Good questions
How much is a boat wash?
$10 per linear foot for a fresh-water wash, $30 per foot for a wash and wax. A 34-foot center console is $340 or $1,020. Most recurring clients settle into a flat monthly number once we have seen the boat and the dock.
What does a boat washdown include?
Fresh-water wash of all exterior surfaces, chamois dry, glass and stainless wiped spot-free, non-skid scrubbed, and a quick condition check of upholstery and metals. Coated boats get coating-safe wash chemistry that extends protection life.
Can you service both our boat and our cars in one visit?
Yes — that's our core model in Boca Raton. Most Royal Palm and Sanctuary clients run a single program: yacht washdown plus vehicle detailing on the same standing schedule.
Do you work inside gated communities like Royal Palm or The Sanctuary?
Regularly. We're licensed, bonded and insured, we handle gate registration and staff coordination ourselves, and we're accustomed to estate-level access protocols.
The boat is at Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club Marina and the cars are at the house. Can that be one visit?
Yes. We run the dock and the garage on the same standing appointment — one detailer, one gate clearance, one invoice. The boat gets its washdown at the slip, then we move to the house for the Porsche or G-Wagon. Nothing for you to coordinate.
Does a boat that mostly sits on a lift off Lake Boca still need a weekly wash?
Yes. Salt haze off the Intracoastal settles on a lifted hull whether you run it or not, and Boca Raton sun bakes it in by midday. A lifted boat needs less scrubbing than a slipped one, so we often move those to bi-weekly and spend the time on glass, stainless, and canvas.
