In Southwest Florida, boat detailing is not about vanity. It is the protective layer between your gelcoat and the harshest sun-and-salt environment in the country. We provide mobile boat detailing at your dock, lift, or driveway across Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples, and SWFL: wash, wax, oxidation removal, and hull cleaning, performed by the same marine technicians who repair boats for a living.
Plenty of companies will wash your boat. Here is what makes ours different: the person detailing your hull is a marine technician, and a technician cannot help but inspect while he works.
While washing and waxing, we are also looking at the things a cleaning crew walks past. Anodes that are eaten down and due for replacement. A weeping fitting that will be a bilge problem by August. Hairline gelcoat cracks that are still a cheap fix. Corrosion starting on a trim cylinder. You get a clean, protected boat and a set of trained eyes over every inch of it, which regularly catches problems months before they become service calls.
Our mobile boat detailing covers:
The boats we detail are the boats we repair: Suzuki- and Yamaha-powered center consoles, Mercury-rigged bay boats, Volvo Penta and Yanmar cruisers, pontoons, and everything between. That overlap matters more than it sounds. Knowing where a Yamaha's cowling drains, how a Power-Pole bracket traps salt, or where Cape Coral canal scum bites hardest on a waterline means the cleaning is thorough in the places generic crews miss. Detailing and mechanical care are two halves of the same job: keeping your boat worth what you paid for it.
full exterior wash with marine-safe products, removing the salt film that quietly dulls and etches gelcoat between trips
real protection applied by machine, not a quick hand-wipe, restoring gloss and shielding gelcoat from Florida UV
chalky, faded hulls cut back and polished to bring the color home. SWFL sun oxidizes an unprotected hull faster than owners believe, and the recovery is deeply satisfying to watch
waterline scum lines, exhaust staining, and rub rail grime removed properly rather than smeared around
non-skid scrubbed, vinyl and upholstery cleaned with UV-protective treatment, compartments freshened, hatches and tracks cleared
aluminum tubes, fencing, and vinyl decks have their own chemistry, and we clean and brighten them with the right products, not hull wax
Island Marine Repair is a mobile marine service company first: engines, electrical, fiberglass, and maintenance across Fort Myers and SWFL. Detailing earned its place on our service list for a simple reason: gelcoat protection is maintenance, and our customers kept asking for one company that could handle all of it.
That heritage shapes how we detail. Led by Cody, our certified marine technician with 15+ years on Gulf Coast boats, our crew treats a detail as part of the boat's care program, not a cosmetic add-on. Wax schedules get matched to how and where the boat lives. Problems spotted during a detail get flagged with photos. And when something needs fixing, the same company that found it can repair it.

Our detailing reviews echo our repair reviews: on time, thorough, honest. Customers mention the flagged anode, the photographed soft spot, the wax that actually lasted the season. Shine is easy to promise. Protection with a technician's judgment behind it is what keeps SWFL owners on our schedule year-round.

Dockside wash, wax and oxidation work across the river, where tannin-dark water stains waterlines faster than owners expect and scheduled care is the only real answer.
Yacht detailing and finish-critical work for Naples vessels, where the shine standard is set at showroom and the brightwork, isinglass and interior scale up with the boat. Multi-day scheduling available.
Full details for the Charlotte Harbor fleet, from trailerable bay boats to liveaboard cruisers, with UV protection prioritized for boats that spend their lives on open harbor moorings and slips.
Island detailing at your dock, including the post-season recovery washes that boats sitting through a Sanibel summer genuinely need before their owners return to them.
Mobile detailing dispatched to the outer islands with water and equipment aboard, because distance from the mainland should not mean distance from proper gelcoat care.
