Boat Washes & Maintenance in Dania Beach
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 Dania Beach — at Harbour Towne Marina, Seahaven Superyacht Marina, Derecktor Dania, and private docks in Melaleuca Gardens and Davis Isles — for boats from 20 to 100+ feet. Licensed, bonded and insured; based in West Palm Beach; Broward 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 Dania Beach water and driveways
A Contender tied on the Dania Cut-Off Canal picks up more than salt. Derecktor Dania and the yards along the Cut run haul-outs all week, and sanding dust and bottom-paint overspray drift onto gelcoat, glass and stainless while the boat sits. Add diesel soot off Port Everglades Inlet traffic and a dark hull goes flat in a season. Our maintenance visit opens with a decontamination pass on those deposits before anything else touches the finish, then a full fresh-water washdown of hull, deck, non-skid and SeaDek, and a chamois dry so the metals carry no spotting.
We are mobile, so we work around your schedule and the yard's. For racked boats at Harbour Towne Marina we wash on the ground after the forklift pull instead of sending a wet hull back into the stack, and we set the cadence around your launch days. Seahaven Superyacht Marina, Derecktor Dania, Playboy Marine Center and Royale Palm Yacht Basin want credentials in advance, so we handle the gate call and the insurance paperwork. On private docks off Melaleuca Gardens and Davis Isles we bring water and power, or tie into yours.
What Dania Beach does to a finish
Yard dust and bottom-paint overspray
Boats on the Cut live next to active haul-outs. Sanding dust and antifouling overspray settle on gelcoat and glass; we decontaminate before it bonds, then coat so it rinses off next time.
Dry-stack forklift cycles
Racked boats at Harbour Towne come down salty and go back up wet. We wash on the ground after the pull and time visits to your launch schedule.
Port Everglades traffic and diesel soot
Diesel soot from port traffic settles on hulls and stainless along the Cut and the beach basin. Regular decontamination keeps it off dark gelcoat and metal before it stains.

Boat Washes & Maintenance in Dania Beach — 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.
Do you work inside the yards on the Dania Cut-Off Canal?
Yes. We service boats at Harbour Towne, Royale Palm, and Playboy Marine, and can work on the hard at Derecktor Dania and inside Seahaven with vendor approval, which we arrange through the yard office. We check in on arrival and stay clear of active lifts and work bays.
Can you detail a boat while it's on the blocks?
That is often the best time. With the boat hauled we can correct and coat the entire hull, including the boot stripe and below the waterline before bottom paint goes on. Give us the yard's window and we schedule around it.
Can you service a boat that lives in the dry stack at Harbour Towne Marina?
Yes. We time visits to your launch day and wash on the ground right after the pull, so nothing goes back up wet. Non-skid, SeaDek, glass and stainless get done in the same visit, and we chamois dry the boat before the forklift takes it.
Our slip is near the haul-outs on the Dania Cut-Off Canal. Does a maintenance wash take off bottom-paint overspray?
If we catch it early, yes. Fresh sanding dust and overspray lift during a routine wash with a decontamination pass. Once it cures into the gelcoat it becomes a correction job instead. That is why boats kept along the Cut do better on a weekly cadence than a monthly one.
