Boat Washing

What This Service Involves

Boats in the Washington marine environment pick up waterline algae, salt film, and a chalky oxidation on the gelcoat. We wash the hull and topsides with marine-safe detergents that lift growth and salt without dulling the finish. Nonskid decks are cleaned to clear the biofilm that makes footing treacherous when wet. A clean boat protects its value and is ready to launch or show without a scramble.
