Yacht & Superyacht Detailing

The Art of Perfection: Why Superyacht Detailing is an Essential Luxury
A superyacht isn't just a vessel; it's a statement. It’s a masterpiece of design and engineering.

It’s the glint of sunlight on mirror-polished stainless steel, the flawless, liquid reflection in a dark blue hull, the feel of plush, immaculate carpet underfoot. It’s an environment of total, uncompromising luxury.

This level of perfection doesn't happen by accident. It isn't the result of a simple "wash-down."

It is the art of superyacht detailing.

This is a service that transcends mere cleaning. It is a meticulous, multi-stage process of restoration, perfection, and protection. It’s about restoring your yacht to a "better than new" condition, ensuring that the reality of your vessel matches the dream of owning it.

The Difference Between 'Clean' and 'Detailed'
A regular crew wash-down removes the surface salt and spray. It's essential maintenance.

Detailing, on the other hand, corrects the damage you can't wash off. It addresses the slow, insidious toll taken by the sun, salt, and elements. It’s the difference between a car that’s been through a car wash and one that’s been prepped for a concourse d'elegance auto show.

This is a service for the world's most discerning owners and captains, who understand that the value of their asset is inextricably linked to its condition. Our yacht cleaning services are elevated to an art form, where every surface is treated with a specialist's touch.

Exterior Detailing: Achieving the Flawless Finish
The exterior is your yacht’s first impression. It’s what turns heads in the marina and what you see as you approach in the tender. Our goal is to make it flawless.

Gelcoat & Paint Polishing: The Mirror Effect
The single most dramatic transformation in boat polishing and detailing is restoring the hull and superstructure.

The Problem: UV rays and salt air are brutal. They "oxidize" your gelcoat or paint, breaking it down. This is the chalky, faded, or hazy appearance you see on vessels that have been exposed to the elements.

Our Process: This is a multi-stage, surgical operation for your yacht's skin.

Decontamination Wash: We start with a deep clean to remove all surface grime, followed by a chemical decontamination (or clay bar) to pull embedded rail dust and pollutants out of the pores.

Compounding (Correction): This is the "cut." Using high-end machine polishers and precision compounds, our technicians carefully remove the dead, oxidized top layer. This is a highly skilled job—too much pressure can "burn" the gelcoat, too little won't correct the fade.

Polishing (Refinement): The compounding step removes the fade but leaves its own microscopic swirl marks. The polishing stage refines this, bringing out the deep, wet-look gloss that defines a world-class finish.

Protection: This is the most vital step. After all that work, the "pores" of the gelcoat are open. We seal them with a high-end marine paste wax, a durable polymer sealant, or a state-of-the-art ceramic coating. This new barrier provides months of protection against UV rays and salt, making the yacht easier to clean and preserving that mirror shine.

Stainless Steel & Chrome: The Jeweler's Touch
Nothing lets down a 100-foot yacht faster than pitted, rust-flecked stainless steel. Every stanchion, cleat, and railing is a "touch point." Our maritime cleaning professionals treat them like jewelry. We use specialized polishes to remove all rust blooms and water spots, bringing every fitting back to a brilliant, streak-free shine that repels water and resists future corrosion.

Teak Deck Perfection
We discussed teak cleaning, but teak detailing is another level. This is about sanding away "high-traffic" wear, re-blackening the caulking lines for sharp contrast, and applying premium oils or sealers that give the deck a uniform, luxurious, golden finish.

Interior Detailing: A Five-Star Hotel on the Water
The interior is where you live. It must be perfect. The owner and guests expect an environment that is not just clean, but pristine, fresh, and utterly comfortable.

This is a "white glove" service.

Deep Upholstery & Carpet Care: We don't just vacuum. We use professional-grade hot water extractors and steam cleaners to pull deep-set dirt, salt, and sunscreen from carpets and sofas. We treat spills and stains, leaving the fabric soft, fresh, and residue-free.

Leather & Alcantara: These delicate surfaces are easily damaged. We use pH-neutral, water-based cleaners to gently lift body oils and grime from leather, followed by a high-end conditioner to restore its supple feel and protect it from UV cracking.

Woodwork & Lacquer: Interior high-gloss wood is like the paint on a piano. It shows every fingerprint and swirl. We use microfiber cloths and specialist polishes to gently clean and protect these surfaces, enhancing their deep gloss without leaving oily residue.

Heads & Galleys: These are "hospital-grade" cleans. Every surface is sanitized. We descale all water fixtures, polish the granite or Corian, and ensure the galley is ready for a gourmet chef.

Why Settle for Anything Less than Perfection?
A superyacht is a complex and delicate asset. The finishes—from the multi-stage paint on the hull to the hand-stitched leather in the salon—are astonishingly expensive.

Hiring an untrained or inexperienced crew for "detailing" is a catastrophic risk. They can:

Burn the gelcoat with a polisher, requiring a $10,000 paint repair.

Use the wrong cleaner on Alcantara, permanently staining it.

Scratch acrylic windows by using the wrong cloths.

Dull high-gloss wood with harsh chemicals.

Our maritime cleaning professionals are not just cleaners; they are detailers. They are trained, insured, and obsessed with perfection. They understand the materials they are working with and use only the finest, industry-approved products. This is our craft.
