A Boat Finished to a High Standard, Owner Involved
The boat: Boat owner in Tampa Bay
The problem
The owner wanted their boat brought back to a level of finish they could be proud of, with every surface and detail addressed properly. They were looking for a detailer who would take real pride in the work and not cut corners. Finding a company that delivers that consistently can be a challenge.
What we did
Sunrise Marine Detailing handled the job from start to finish with careful attention to every detail. Corey, the owner, stayed personally involved throughout, keeping clear and consistent communication with both the customer and his team. That hands-on approach kept the work on track and done right.
The result
The boat came out looking incredible, with every detail carefully finished to a high standard. The owner was completely happy with the outcome and plans to keep using Sunrise going forward.
"Our boat looks incredible, with every detail carefully addressed and finished to a high standard. It’s not often you come across a company that takes such pride in their work, and it definitely shows."

10-Year-Old Boat Brought Back to Almost New
The boat: Boat owner in Tampa Bay
The problem
Mark's boat was over 10 years old and showing its age, with a deteriorating boot stripe that needed to come off. Once the old vinyl stripe was removed, the question became how to handle the original hull color hiding underneath it.
What we did
Sunrise Marine worked through their Buff and Shine package to restore the hull and bring back the original color that had been covered by the old boot stripe. Instead of replacing the stripe, the team focused on revealing and refinishing what was already there.
The result
The finished hull looked close to new again, with the original color brought back to life and the worn boot stripe issue fully resolved.
"The Buff and Shine package offered by Sunrise Marine brought my 10 plus year old boat back to almost new condition. I will use them again when it’s time for detailing."

Faded Gel Coat Brought Back to Showroom Shine
The boat: 22ft Everglades
The problem
The gel coat on this 22-foot Everglades had lost its life and shine, leaving the finish looking dull and tired. The owner wanted that deep, glossy look back without guessing at the process.
What we did
Sunrise Marine Detailing sanded and polished the hull to restore the gel coat. Corey, the owner, took the time to explain each step and made sure everything was done right, keeping the owner informed throughout the entire process.
The result
The gel coat came back to life with a finish that pops again, looking like the boat just rolled off the showroom floor.
"They 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."

A Boat Brought Back to Like-New Shine
The boat: Boat owner in Tampa Bay
The problem
The boat had reached the point where a serious, hands-on detail was needed to restore its appearance. The owner wanted the job done properly rather than rushed, with attention to every surface. Getting a professional result meant finding a team that would take the time to do it right.
What we did
Corey and his team started with a clear estimate, then carried out the full detail with care. They returned the next day to finish the job correctly instead of cutting corners, then came back again for the final wash, wax, and inspection. Each step was handled methodically from start to finish.
The result
The owner described the final results as amazing and felt the team was professional through every stage. The multi-visit approach left the boat finished the right way.
"Corey and his team were extremely professional from estimate to final results, which were amazing!"

Neglected Boat Brought Back to Like-New
The boat: Boat owner in Tampa Bay
The problem
The boat had been heavily neglected and showed it inside and out. The owner had reached a point where he didn't believe it could ever look new again.
What we did
Sunrise Marine arrived on time and worked through a thorough, professional detailing of the entire vessel. They addressed both the interior and exterior with a complete deep clean and restoration approach.
The result
The boat came out looking brand new inside and out, exceeding what the owner thought was even possible.
"My boat had been heavily neglected and I honestly didn’t think it could look new again, but they completely exceeded expectations."
