Boat Washes & Maintenance in Hollywood
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 Hollywood & Hallandale Beach — at Loggerhead Marina Hollywood, Hollywood Marina, Diplomat Landing Marina, and private docks in Hollywood Lakes and Harbor Islands — 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 Hollywood water and driveways
A Golden Isles canal dock keeps a boat in-water and uncovered every month of the year, and the salt that comes home from a Haulover or Port Everglades run does not leave on its own. Factor in the Hallandale Beach Boulevard and Sheridan Street bridges opening on the quarter hour, and most of that trip is idle time in the ICW with spray drying on gelcoat, glass and stainless. The historic Hollywood Lakes docks on North Lake and South Lake do the same thing. Left alone through a Florida summer, unprotected gelcoat chalks in a season.
We run this stretch on a fixed cadence rather than on call. Loggerhead Marina Hollywood sits behind the Harbor Islands gate, and Diplomat Landing Marina and the Hallandale Beach City Marina both work through dockmasters, so our insurance certificates and vendor registration go in ahead of the first visit and stay current. Each wash is fresh water top to bottom, pH-neutral soap on coated hulls, non-skid and SeaDek scrubbed by hand, then chamois dried so glass and metals finish spot-free. We wipe the interior, check upholstery, and flag weeping stainless or a soft seam early.
What Hollywood does to a finish
Bridge-schedule salt cycles
Hallandale Beach Boulevard and Sheridan Street bridges open on the quarter hour, so runs to Haulover or Port Everglades mean time idling in the ICW. Salt sits. Weekly washdowns reset it.
Deep-canal estate dockage
Golden Isles and Hollywood Lakes boats live in-water, full sun, year-round. UV can chalk unprotected gelcoat in a season — ceramic coating plus a maintenance cadence is the program here.
Marina and condo access
Loggerhead sits behind the Harbor Islands gate; Diplomat Landing and the Hallandale Beach City Marina run dockmasters and gated entry. We carry the insurance certificates and handle vendor registration ourselves.

Boat Washes & Maintenance in Hollywood — 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 service boats at Loggerhead Marina in Harbor Islands?
Yes. Loggerhead Marina Hollywood sits inside the Harbor Islands gate, so we handle the community's vendor registration ourselves, carry the insurance certificates the marina requires, and coordinate slip access with the dockmaster — whether your boat is 25 feet or 100.
Can you work at Diplomat Landing or the Hallandale Beach City Marina?
Yes. Diplomat Landing sits on the Hollywood side of the city line and the City Marina just south on Three Islands Boulevard, and we cover both — mega-yachts and sportfish at Diplomat Landing, center consoles and cruisers at the City Marina. We coordinate with each dockmaster and work around the marina's schedule.
How often should a boat kept on a Hollywood Lakes or North Beach dock be washed?
Weekly for a boat that lives in-water on a North Beach or Hollywood Lakes dock with no cover. Full sun plus ICW salt is what chalks gelcoat here. Bi-weekly holds up on a ceramic-coated hull that runs less often. We set the cadence after we see how the boat sits.
Can you wash the cars at the house on the same visit as the boat?
Yes. On Golden Isles, Harbor Islands and Three Islands properties we finish the vessel, then wash the vehicles in the same visit. A Range Rover or G-Wagon parked a short walk from the Intracoastal picks up the same salt air. Fresh water, chamois dry, no spotting on glass or trim.
