Faded Gel Coat Restored to Showroom Shine
The boat: 22ft Everglades
The problem
The gel coat on this 22-foot Everglades had lost its luster and needed serious restoration. The finish was dull and no longer reflected the look of a well-kept boat.
What we did
Corey and the Sunrise team wet sanded the hull to cut through the worn outer layer, then polished it to bring the gel coat back to life. Throughout the job, Corey walked the owner through each step and made sure every detail was handled correctly.
The result
The finish came back with depth and pop, looking like the boat had just rolled off the showroom floor.
"They wet sanded and polished my 22-foot Everglades and completely brought the gel coat back to life, it honestly looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor."

Multi-Day Detail Done Right the First Time
The boat: Boat owner in Tampa Bay
The problem
The boat needed a full professional detail and the owner wanted it done thoroughly, not rushed. They were looking for a team that would treat the job with care from the first walkthrough to the final polish.
What we did
Corey and the Sunrise team started with an on-site estimate, then got to work on the detail. When the job needed more time to be done correctly, they returned the next day to finish it right, and came back again later for a final wash, wax, and inspection.
The result
The owner walked away with amazing final results and the confidence that every step had been handled professionally from start to finish.
"Corey and his team were extremely professional from estimate to final results, which were amazing!"

32' Sportsman Center Console Earns a Quarterly Spot
The boat: 32' Sportsman Center Console
The problem
A seasoned boat owner in the Yacht Club Estates area needed his 32' Sportsman Center Console brought back to a like-new finish. After years of saltwater use and Tampa Bay sun, he wanted a detailer he could trust on an ongoing basis, not just a one-time wash.
What we did
Corey and the Sunrise crew performed a full exterior and interior detail on the center console, addressing the surfaces a Florida boat owner sees the most: gelcoat, vinyl, and metal hardware. The work was thorough enough that the owner moved straight from a single detail into a quarterly maintenance program.
The result
The boat looked sharp enough that the owner, who has owned boats for years, committed to ongoing quarterly care with Sunrise. One detail turned into a long-term relationship.
"Corey and crew did a great job detailing my 32' Sportsman Center Console. So much so that Sunrise/Corey is going to be cleaning our boat on a quarterly maintenance program going forward."
