Boat Washes & Maintenance in West Palm
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 West Palm Beach — at Palm Harbor Marina, Safe Harbor Rybovich, Palm Beach Yacht Club & Marina, and private docks in El Cid Historic District and South Flagler Drive — 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 West Palm water and driveways
A center console sitting on a floating dock at Palm Harbor Marina and a Viking in a fixed slip at Safe Harbor Rybovich pick up two different films. Out on the Lake Worth Lagoon you get salt haze off the chop, and because this is downtown waterfront, you also get brake dust, exhaust film and storm runoff residue riding the same spray onto white gelcoat and hardtop glass. Left a week, that mix dries into a gray cast on the house sides and a haze on the Garmin screens that a plain hose rinse will not lift.
We run West Palm on a fixed weekly or bi-weekly rotation and carry our own water and power, so nothing gets plugged into a pedestal. At Palm Harbor Marina and Palm Beach Yacht Club & Marina we handle gate and dock access with the office ahead of time; at Safe Harbor Rybovich we work around yard schedules. Washes start early, before the sun bakes spots into glass and stainless, and everything gets chamois dried. Non-skid and SeaDek get scrubbed, the interior wiped, and we flag anything changing — a weeping seal, coating going thirsty, corrosion starting on a hinge.
What West Palm does to a finish
Lagoon chop & city grime
Urban waterfront means salt plus city fallout — dust, exhaust film, storm runoff residue. Regular decontamination keeps both off your gelcoat and glass.
Historic-district access
Narrow drives and mature landscaping in El Cid are no problem — our rig is fully self-contained and sized for tight estate access.
Boat + truck combos
Plenty of South Flagler clients run a boat and the truck that tows it. We keep both protected — ceramic on the hull and the paint alike.

Boat Washes & Maintenance in West Palm — 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 Palm Harbor Marina or Rybovich?
Yes — marina work is routine for us. We carry the insurance certificates marinas require and coordinate slip access directly with the dockmaster when needed.
Can you detail at a house in El Cid with a tight driveway?
Yes. Our mobile setup is self-contained — water, power, lighting — and we routinely work historic properties with narrow access and landscaping to protect.
Can you wash the boat and the truck that tows it on the same visit?
Yes. Plenty of South Flagler Drive and El Cid clients run a boat and the Ford Raptor or GMC Denali that tows it. We add the vehicle wash to the same rotation — usually the boat at the slip, the truck at the house, or both in one stop if the trailer is home.
Does a boat kept on the Lake Worth Lagoon need washing more often than one further out?
Downtown dockage adds city fallout to salt — dust, exhaust film, runoff residue after storms. On the lagoon we usually run weekly rather than bi-weekly, especially on dark hullsides and hardtop glass, because that mix sets faster and needs a decon wash, not just a rinse.
