How much does boat detailing cost in Southwest Florida?

Professional mobile boat detailing in Southwest Florida is priced per linear foot. Maintenance washes start at $8/ft, full gelcoat restoration starts at $140/ft, and marine ceramic coating starts at $160/ft depending on vessel condition and size. Complete Boat Detailing LLC provides free written estimates before any work begins. Call 239-672-6524.

How long does marine ceramic coating last on a boat in Florida?

A professional-grade marine ceramic coating applied by a Glidecoat-certified detailer in Southwest Florida typically lasts 12–18 months in full sun and 2–3 years under cover. Traditional wax lasts only 60–90 days in the Florida sun and salt air, making ceramic coating the clear choice for value, UV protection, and hydrophobic performance.

Can oxidation be removed from a boat's gelcoat?

Yes — gelcoat oxidation is fully reversible through a professional multi-stage restoration process. Complete Boat Detailing LLC uses wet sanding (for heavy oxidation), heavy-cut compounding, medium-cut compounding, swirl remover polish, and machine polishing to restore a mirror finish. The restored surface can then be protected with marine ceramic coating for long-term UV and salt protection.

Do you offer mobile boat detailing in Fort Myers, Naples, and Cape Coral?

Yes. Complete Boat Detailing LLC is 100% mobile. We come to your dock, marina, boat lift, or driveway throughout Southwest Florida — including Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples, Fort Myers Beach, Punta Gorda, Port Charlotte, Bonita Springs, Marco Island, Sanibel, Estero, LaBelle, Alva, Pine Island, and surrounding areas. No hauling required.

What is the difference between boat waxing and marine ceramic coating?

Traditional boat wax lasts 60–90 days in the Florida sun before breaking down. Marine ceramic coating is a semi-permanent protective layer that bonds chemically to the gelcoat, providing 12–18 months of UV protection, hydrophobic water-beading, and mirror-gloss finish. For Florida boat owners, ceramic coating is the 2026 standard — it eliminates the need for frequent buffing and waxing.

Do you offer recurring boat detailing maintenance plans in Southwest Florida?

Yes. Complete Boat Detailing LLC offers quarterly and bi-annual scheduled maintenance programs for boat owners in Southwest Florida.
