Boat Detailing Before and After Gallery, Tampa Bay
Oxidation Removal & Gelcoat Restoration
When a boat's gelcoat is faded, chalky, or yellowed from UV and salt, a simple wax won't fix it. Our full restoration process uses marine-grade compound, polish, and sealant to bring the finish back to a deep, reflective shine. Pricing ranges from about $1,500 to $3,000 for a typical boat, and up to $7,000 for heavy restoration on larger vessels.
Deep Cleaning
Deep clean jobs target grime buildup, waterline stains, vinyl mold, compartment funk, and engine bay neglect. We treat every surface, no spray-and-pray. A 25, 35ft boat typically takes a full day and runs $450, $750.
Marine Ceramic Coating
After restoration, a ceramic coating locks the finish in for the next two years. It repels water, blocks UV, and makes future washes easier. Ceramic coating runs $1,900, $4,900 depending on boat size and prep work required.
Every Boat Is Different
Oxidation levels, boat size, storage conditions, and usage all affect what your boat needs. That's why we offer free quotes based on photos of your boat. Call (727) 297-8866 or send us a few photos for a same-day estimate.
What to Look for in Boat Detailing Photos
Good boat detailing photos show more than a shiny hull. When you scroll through our gallery, look at the before shots first. Heavy oxidation on a gelcoat will look chalky, dull, and almost pastel. Saltwater stains around the waterline show up as brown or rust-colored streaks. Those are the problems most Clearwater and Tampa Bay boats deal with after a season on the water.
Then check the after shots for the details that matter: a deep wet look on the gelcoat (not just glare from the sun), clean nonskid without white residue left in the texture, polished stainless rails, and clear vinyl seating with no cracking from UV. Reflections in the hull are the easiest tell. If you can read the dock lines or see clouds mirrored on the side of the boat, the cut and polish was done right. Browse our boat detailing photos with those things in mind, and compare them to the condition of your own boat at the slip. It is the fastest way to figure out whether you need a wash and wax, a full oxidation cut, or a ceramic coating to lock in the finish through Florida summer.
