Boat Washes & Maintenance in Pompano 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 Pompano Beach & Hillsboro Beach — at Sands Harbor Resort & Marina, Hillsboro Inlet Fishing Center, Loggerhead Marina – Hidden Harbour, and private docks in Harbor Village and Garden 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 Pompano Beach water and driveways
A Contender comes back through Hillsboro Inlet at noon, decks still wet from a Sailfish Alley drift, and by the time it is tied up in a Garden Isles canal the salt has dried into the stainless and the glass. That is the job here. We wash hull, house and cockpit with fresh water before the crust sets, scrub non-skid and SeaDek where salt hides in the texture, then chamois glass and rails dry so nothing spots. On Hillsboro Mile, estate yachts take ocean spray over the dune and Intracoastal haze at the dock, so one wash has to cover both sides.
Access sets the schedule here more than anything. At Sands Harbor Resort & Marina and Hillsboro Inlet Fishing Center we work around charter departures, washing early or once the boats are back in. Loggerhead Marina – Hidden Harbour racks mean we coordinate pulls with the yard, and we check for forklift rub and rack dust while the hull is down. The Hillsboro Club and the Mile estates run gated, so we set standing access once instead of clearing it every visit. Owners get a consistent day, a dry boat, and a flag when we see something worth watching.
What Pompano Beach does to a finish
Inlet salt, run daily
Boats here run the inlet constantly. Salt crust after a Sailfish Alley morning starts pitting stainless and spotting glass if it sits — same-week washdowns are the baseline, not the upgrade.
Dual exposure on Hillsboro Mile
Ocean spray over the dune, Intracoastal haze at the dock. Estate yachts on the Mile take salt from both sides; dark hulls and brightwork need coating plus a disciplined cadence.
Dry-stack and lift-kept hulls
Hidden Harbour racks and canal lifts keep hulls dry — ideal for coating — but forklift rub marks and rack dust need attention generic washers skip. We coordinate pulls with the yard.

Boat Washes & Maintenance in Pompano 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 service boats at Sands Harbor and Hillsboro Inlet Fishing Center?
Yes. We service boats at Sands Harbor Resort & Marina, Hillsboro Inlet Fishing Center, and the dry stacks at Loggerhead Hidden Harbour. We carry the insurance certificates marinas require and coordinate access directly with the dockmaster or yard.
Can you work on the Hillsboro Club docks or at a Hillsboro Mile estate?
Private Intracoastal slips along Hillsboro Mile are staff- or captain-coordinated: quiet equipment, no signage, and a program set to the vessel rather than our calendar. The Hillsboro Club is a private club — access there is arranged through the member, their captain, or club staff, and we follow the club's vendor requirements.
Do you service boats in the Hidden Harbour dry stack, or only boats kept in the water?
Both. Rack-kept boats at Loggerhead Marina – Hidden Harbour get washed on the yard's schedule, so we book the pull with them and use that window to catch forklift rub and rack dust on the hull sides. Wet-slipped and lift-kept boats in Garden Isles or Cypress Harbor we handle in place.
Can one visit cover the boat and the cars at a Hillsboro Mile estate?
Yes. We run the boat first while the deck is cool, then the garage — a Range Rover, a G-Wagon, a Porsche — on the same standing visit. One crew, one gate entry, one schedule. It is the usual setup for estate clients on the Mile and in Hillsboro Shores.
