Boat & yacht detailing services

Four core services, done at your slip and on your schedule.

Sport yacht cruising at speed on open water

Decks, glass and stainless
Weekly washes

Salt spray and sun work on a boat every day it sits in the slip. A regular wash keeps decks, glass and stainless clean before grime sets in.
Wash schedules
Gelcoat above the waterline
Waxing & polishing

Machine compounding and polishing lift oxidation and bring back depth and gloss. A protective coat of wax keeps the shine there longer.
How we polish
Teak decks and trim
Teak restoration

Sun and salt turn teak gray, rough and blotchy. Restoration cleans the wood and brings back its warm, even color on decks, swim platforms and trim.

Bottom cleaning

Growth on the hull slows the boat down and burns fuel. Regular bottom cleaning clears it away and helps your bottom paint last.

Decks, glass and stainless

Weekly washes

A scheduled wash-down keeps salt, dust and bird droppings from etching into gelcoat, glass and stainless. Your boat stays ready to take out.

Teak decks and trim

Teak restoration

Weathered teak turns gray and rough, and dirt settles into the grain. We clean and restore teak decks, rails and trim so the wood looks rich and even again.

Gray, weathered wood cleaned back to its natural color
Rails and trim done along with the deck
One-time restoration or part of regular care

Choose how often

Recurring care costs less effort than catching up. Pick what fits how you use your boat.

Weekly

For boats used often, or kept in full sun and salt air.

Every two weeks

A steady baseline for most boats that live in the slip.

Monthly or one-time

A reset before a trip, a sale, a survey or the season.

Questions

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Supreme Yacht Care is licensed and insured.

Where do you work?

Anywhere in California, from San Diego to the San Francisco Bay Area. We come to your slip or boatyard. Tell us where your boat is when you ask for a quote.

How much does boat detailing cost?

It depends on your boat’s length, its condition and how often you want service. Send us the details and we’ll give you a clear quote before any work starts.

How often should a boat be waxed?

It depends on how much sun the boat gets and how it’s stored. Boats that live in an open slip lose their wax fastest. If the gelcoat is already chalky or faded, it needs compounding and polishing before wax will do any good. We’ll tell you what your boat needs when we see it.

Who do you work with?

Boat and yacht owners, captains and yacht management companies.

Do you require a contract or deposit?

Yes. All clients review and sign their service contract before any detailing work begins, and a 50% deposit secures your booking.
