Expert Onsite Care Designed to Protect Your Vessel’s Beauty and Resale Value

Owning a boat in Western Washington should be about enjoying time on the water, not spending your weekends worrying about surface care, weather exposure, or coordinating trips to a detail shop.

Our family-owned team brings professional marine detailing directly to your marina slip, boathouse, waterfront home, storage location, or driveway. With more than three decades of hands-on marine detailing experience, we understand how Northwest weather, moisture, UV exposure, and regular use can affect a vessel over time.

We live here, boat here, and understand what it means to care for a boat in Puget Sound. Our onsite service is built around practical protection, long-term care, and helping preserve the appearance, condition, and resale value of your vessel.

Three Decades of Marine Expertise

The Detailer Puget Sound Boat Owners Refer by Name

For more than 34 years, Tony Harris has built his reputation one vessel at a time, caring for boats throughout Puget Sound with skill, consistency, and pride in the work.

That reputation comes from decades of showing up, delivering quality craftsmanship, and earning the trust of boat owners who return year after year. It is also why so many of them confidently refer Tony to fellow boaters.

Today, our team continues that same standard of professional marine care, attention to detail, and a genuine love of maintaining boats.

Comprehensive Care for Every Stage of Ownership

Gelcoat Oxidation & Surface Restoration

Reverse PNW Weathering and Restore Your Boat’s Gelcoat Finish

Pacific Northwest weather, UV exposure, moisture, and marine contaminants can leave once-vibrant gelcoat looking dull, chalky, and oxidized.

Whether your vessel needs mild or heavy oxidation removal, multi-step compounding, or fine polishing, we bring 34+ years of marine detailing experience and professional-grade equipment directly to your slip, boathouse, or driveway.

Marine SiO2 Ceramic Coatings & Hydrophobic Protection

Modern Ceramic Coatings Help Protect Your Vessel in Harsh Northwest Conditions

Before applying SiO2 ceramic coatings, we thoroughly decontaminate and prepare the gelcoat to support proper bonding, lasting performance, and a durable, high-gloss hydrophobic barrier.

This protective layer helps resist UV exposure, saltwater, exhaust soot, and waterline staining while promoting water beading and making ongoing surface care easier.

Brokerage & FSBO Pre-Sale Detailing

Present Your Boat Looking Its Best for Brokerage & Private Listings

First impressions matter when bringing a boat to market. Whether you are listing with a professional yacht broker or selling privately (FSBO), presenting a clean, well-cared-for vessel can strengthen buyer confidence from the first online photograph through the dockside walkthrough.

Whether you need a complete pre-sale detail or specific areas addressed, we can help prepare the areas that need attention, including gelcoat correction, metal polishing, interior refreshes, and odor removal.

Our goal is to help present your boat looking its best for listing photos, video, buyer showings, and major marketplaces such as YachtWorld and Boat Trader.

New Vessel Protection

Protect Your Investment from Day One of Ownership

Taking ownership of a vessel, whether delivered straight from the factory or new to you, is an exciting milestone and the perfect time to establish a professional care plan.

For factory-delivered vessels, we can address transport and delivery contaminants and establish surface protection from the start. For pre-owned vessels, we evaluate existing surface conditions and recommend the appropriate preparation, correction, and protection based on what your vessel actually needs.

From initial detailing and Marine SiO2 Ceramic Coatings to scheduled dockside maintenance, we help you establish a practical care plan designed to protect your investment and keep your vessel protected, maintained, and ready to enjoy.
