Why Regular Washdowns Matter
Saltwater, UV rays, bird droppings, and general marine grime can quickly take a toll on your boat’s exterior. Regular washdowns help prevent long-term damage, maintain paint and gelcoat, and reduce the need for costly detailing and repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Boat Valeting Queries
What is marine valeting and why is it important?
Marine valeting is the professional cleaning, polishing, and maintenance of boats—inside and out. It helps protect your vessel from salt, UV damage, oxidation, and marine growth, while keeping it looking pristine and performing at its best. Regular valeting also helps preserve the value and longevity of your boat.
How often should I get my boat washed down?
For boats used regularly in saltwater, we recommend a washdown at least once every 1–2 weeks. This prevents salt and grime build-up, which can lead to corrosion and damage over time. We offer flexible scheduling options to suit your boating habits and budget.
Do you use environmentally friendly products?
Yes! We use eco-friendly, marine-safe cleaning products that are tough on dirt but gentle on your boat—and the ocean. Our team is committed to providing premium care while protecting the environment.
How long does a full compound polish take?
The time depends on the size and condition of your vessel, but a full compound polish typically takes 1–2 days. We start with surface preparation, followed by cutting, polishing, and optional waxing for long-lasting protection and shine.
Can I book multiple services at once?
Absolutely! Many of our clients combine services like antifouling, internal valeting, and teak cleaning for full-service care. We’re happy to create a custom package tailored to your boat’s needs—just ask for a free quote!
