How pricing works

priced by the foot.

Every package is priced per foot of boat length, so you know roughly what you’ll pay before you book. Multiply your boat’s length by the package rate.

Prices assume a moderately cared-for boat. Decal removal is extra, and very dirty boats carry an extra charge. We’ll always confirm your price before we start.

22 ft × $45/ft$990

  4. We do the dirty work

    An owner checks every boat. Not happy? We come back and make it right.

FAQ

boat detailing questions.

How is the price worked out?

Every package is priced per foot of boat length. Multiply your boat’s length by the package rate: a 22 ft boat on The Captain is 22 × $45 = $990. Online prices are estimates until we’ve seen the boat.

Is anything extra?

Decal removal is charged extra, and so are very dirty boats. Prices assume a moderately cared-for boat, and we’ll always confirm the price before we start.

Do you come to my dock or marina?

Yes, for detailing. We’re fully mobile and detail boats at docks, lifts and marina slips all around Lake Norman. Gelcoat restoration is the exception: it’s done on land (on your trailer or at our shop location) to keep sanding and compound residue out of the lake. Ask about transport.

Can you detail a boat on a lift?

Yes. The Mariner and The Captain can be done with the boat on its lift. The Admiral (3-stage compound) can be done on a lift too, but it’s best done on a trailer. Our 5-step gelcoat restoration is never done on a lift or in the water: it’s done on land (on your trailer or at our shop location) to keep sanding and compound residue out of the lake. Ask about transport.

How long does The Admiral take?

The Admiral takes about 2–3 days, depending on the size and condition of the boat.

Which package do I need?

The Mariner keeps a cared-for boat clean, The Captain adds wax or sealant to protect the gelcoat, and The Admiral adds a 3-stage compound for dull gelcoat. Chalky, heavily faded gelcoat may need our 5-step gelcoat oxidation restoration. Send us photos and we’ll recommend one.

Are your products safe for the lake?

We use eco-friendly cleaning products.

What does the satisfaction guarantee mean?

If you’re not happy with any part of the job, tell us and we’ll come back and make it right at no charge.
