How Much Does Boat Detailing Cost in Tampa?

Exterior wash and protection starts at $8 per linear foot: hull and topside wash, salt treatment, waterline (as specified), glass, spot-free rinse, and a marine sealant. Interior-only work starts at $6 per foot. The Gold complete package (interior plus exterior) starts at $11 per foot.

Length is measured the way you already think about the boat — not a surprise “we measured the trailer too” game. Condition still moves the number.

Chalked gelcoat needs compound and polish. Tea-stained waterlines, teak, neglected vinyl, and in-water access (tide, lift, marina rules) add labor. A pontoon with filthy fences is not the same hour-count as a well-kept center console of the same length.

Marine ceramic coating is an add-on with its own prep. It is the right spend if you want salt to rinse instead of bake into faded resin all summer.

We work at Tampa, St. Pete, Clearwater, and north-bay marinas as well as home lifts and trailers. Marina vendor rules and slip access can affect schedule more than price. Tell us the facility name when you book.
