The Tide Standard
One standard. Every boat.
Every boat we detail is brought up to the same standard: the Tide Standard. No good-better-best. No package to choose from. One standard, and we hold every boat to it.
What changes from boat to boat is the work it takes to get there. So we come to you, look the boat over, and quote on what it actually needs — based on its size, its condition, and the finish you're after. You pay for the work, not a price list.
That standard isn't something we made up. It was learned in Poole, England — home of Sunseeker, one of the world's leading luxury yacht builders, where nothing left the yard until it was correct. It's the same bar we hold your boat to today.

Detail Reset
We bring your boat up to the Tide Standard. Wash, cut and polish, wax and buff, glass, basic interior.
Optional ongoing care
Once we know your boat, we can build a custom care package around how you actually use it.
What's a Detail Reset?
A Detail Reset is the starting point for any new detailing customer.
We come to your boat, carry out a full assessment, and bring it up to the Tide Standard. That usually includes a thorough wash, cut and polish, wax and buff, glass, and a basic interior clean.
For most boats, this is the right first step. It gets the hull, finishes and key surfaces back to a known baseline, so any ongoing care from there is planned maintenance rather than catching up on neglect.
That matters because boats don't stay clean for long. Salt, sun, water, grime and use all start working again the moment the job is done. But when the reset is done properly, the next scheduled clean is more manageable, more cost-effective, and more likely to protect the life, value and presentation of the boat over time.

How we operate
The Tide Standard came from Sunseeker, where Ben learned his trade. Every boat inspected three times by separate quality controllers before it shipped. Any flaw, no matter how small, had to be fixed before the boat could leave.
Ben carried that discipline out of Poole, across to Australia, and into Brisbane. Same methodology, applied to every boat Tide touches — whether it's in for a Detail Reset or coming back for ongoing care.

A Pre-Sale Detail is designed to help your boat present at its best when it matters most — in the listing photos, at inspection, and in the buyer's first impression.
The focus is not to spend money everywhere. It's to spend it where it will have the greatest impact on presentation, perceived care, and sale value.
