Boat Detailing FAQs
What does a boat detailing service include?
Boat detailing goes beyond a simple wash. It typically includes a thorough cleaning of the exterior and interior, oxidation removal, waxing or polishing of the gelcoat, stainless steel polishing, vinyl and upholstery cleaning, non-skid deck treatment, and sometimes engine compartment detailing. It’s designed to restore your boat’s appearance and protect it from the elements.
What types of boats can be detailed?
Boat detailing pros on Boat Planet work on all types and sizes of boats—center consoles, cruisers, pontoons, sailboats, wake boats, yachts, and more. Whether your boat is in the water, on a trailer, or in dry storage, detailing services can be customized to fit your needs.
How do I get a quote for boat detailing through Boat Planet?
Just submit a request on Boat Planet with your boat’s make, model, length, and the type of detailing service you're looking for (interior, exterior, full detail, etc.). Local detailing pros will respond with quotes and availability so you can compare and choose the right one.
Do boat detailers come to my location, or do I need to bring my boat to them?
Most boat detailers on Boat Planet offer mobile services and can come directly to your dock, driveway, or marina. Some also operate from detailing shops if you prefer or require an in-shop service. Be sure to note your location and preferences when submitting your request.
How long does a boat detailing service take?
The time required depends on the size of your boat and the level of detailing. A basic wash and wax may take 2–4 hours, while a full interior and exterior detail can take a full day or more. Your detailer will provide an estimated timeframe based on your request.
How often should I have my boat detailed?
It depends on how often you use your boat and where it’s stored. Boats exposed to saltwater or sun year-round may need detailing every 2–3 months, while freshwater boats might only need it 1–2 times a season. Regular detailing helps preserve your gelcoat, upholstery, and resale value.
How much does boat detailing cost?
Prices vary based on boat size, condition, and the level of service. A basic exterior detail might start at $10–$20 per foot, while full detailing services (interior and exterior) can run $25–$40+ per foot. On Boat Planet, you can request up to three quotes to compare pricing and services.
What should I do to prepare for a boat detailing appointment?
Make sure your boat is accessible and clear of personal items. If the detailer needs power or water hookups, confirm those are available. Some pros may ask that you rinse or lightly clean surfaces before arrival—others handle all prep themselves. Your pro will let you know ahead of time.
