Professional boat detailing — Brisbane & Gold Coast
Your boat deserves better than a quick rinse.
Enquire nowDetailing that actually protects your boat
We use marine-grade products matched to your boat's materials and conditions. Whether it's salt build-up, UV damage, or general wear, our detailing process is designed to clean, restore and protect — not just make things look good for a photo.
Every job starts with an assessment. We look at what your boat actually needs, then build a plan around it. No cookie-cutter packages. No cheap shortcuts.
Tide seal of approval
Every completed detail is inspected against our internal checklist before we call it done. If it doesn't meet our standard, we fix it — no questions asked.
Our detailing services
Interior care
Deep clean of all interior surfaces — upholstery, vinyl, carpets, headliners, helm stations and storage compartments. We remove salt, mould and grime to restore comfort and condition.

Exterior care
Full exterior wash, decontamination, polish and protection. We address oxidation, water spots, salt residue and UV exposure to bring back the finish and keep it protected longer.

We assess first
Every boat is different. We inspect your vessel before recommending any service, so you only pay for what's actually needed.
Right product, right surface
We match marine-grade products to your boat's specific materials — gelcoat, fibreglass, vinyl, teak, stainless steel — for safe, effective results every time.
Professional equipment
Dual-action polishers, foam cannons, steam cleaners and extraction units. We bring everything needed to do the job properly — no garden hoses and dish soap.
No surprises
We quote before we start and stick to it. If we find something unexpected, we'll let you know before proceeding. Transparent pricing, every time.

Ongoing care
A single detail can transform your boat — but regular maintenance keeps it that way. We offer recurring detailing arrangements on a fortnightly, monthly or quarterly basis, tailored to how often you use your boat and the conditions it's exposed to.
Recurring clients receive priority booking, consistent pricing and a maintenance log so you always know what's been done and when.
Detailing packages & pricing
We offer structured packages for small boats (under 30ft) and custom quoting for larger vessels. Pricing depends on boat size, condition and the scope of work — but we always quote upfront so there are no surprises.
View pricingFrequently asked questions
How long does a full detail take?
It depends on the size and condition of your boat. A small boat interior detail typically takes 2 to 3 hours. A complete detail on a larger vessel can take a full day or more. We'll give you a time estimate with your quote.
Do I need to be there during the detail?
Not necessarily. Many of our clients give us marina access and we take care of everything. We'll send you before-and-after photos and a summary when we're done.
What products do you use?
We use marine-specific products from trusted brands. Every product is chosen based on the surface it's being applied to — we never use generic car-care products on boats.
