Boat Detailing

In the demanding marine environment of South Florida, professional detailing isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s essential preventative maintenance that preserves your investment.

Restore Your Vessel's Beauty and Protection

At Swordfish Boat Works, we’ve developed specialized detailing processes that address the unique challenges boats face in our tropical climate.

Our comprehensive detailing services restore your vessel’s appearance while simultaneously creating crucial protection against UV damage, salt corrosion, and environmental contaminants. Whether you’re preparing for a special event, getting ready to sell, or simply maintaining your pride and joy, our detailing team delivers results that exceed expectations.

Our Detailing Process

Unlike car detailing, proper marine detailing requires specialized knowledge, techniques, and products. Our multi-step approach ensures no surface is overlooked:

Initial Assessment and Preparation

Every detailing project begins with a thorough evaluation of your vessel’s current condition. We identify problem areas requiring special attention and document pre-existing conditions. This is followed by a careful pre-rinse to remove loose contaminants before the real work begins.

Deep Cleaning Phase

We systematically work through every exterior surface using specialized marine cleaners formulated for different materials:

  • Fiberglass and gelcoat surfaces receive deep cleaning that removes salt deposits, waterline stains, and environmental contaminants
  • Metal hardware is treated with dedicated marine-grade products that remove tarnish without damaging protective coatings
  • Canvas and vinyl surfaces are cleaned with gentle yet effective solutions that remove dirt while conditioning materials to prevent cracking

For oxidized or faded surfaces, our skilled technicians employ progressive restoration techniques:

  • Our professional buffing service eliminates oxidation and restores your gelcoat’s original luster, bringing back that showroom shine
  • Our specialized waxing process then seals and protects the restored surface, making your boat significantly easier to clean throughout the year while providing a durable barrier against harsh UV rays and salt exposure
  • Chrome and stainless steel receive dedicated polishing to remove water spots and prevent corrosion
  • Teak and other woodwork are cleaned and treated with marine-grade protectants

Interior Detailing

Our interior detailing is equally thorough:

  • Vinyl seats and cushions are deep-cleaned and treated with UV protectants
  • Carpets and fabrics are cleaned using methods that prevent mildew and musty odors
  • Cabinets, tables, and other surfaces receive appropriate cleaning and protection
  • Heads and galleys are sanitized and detailed for both appearance and hygiene
  • Storage compartments are cleaned and organized upon request
