Boat Detailing & Waxing in South Florida

Florida sun eats gelcoat. Oxidation, salt spray, and UV take a shine off a hull faster here than anywhere in the country, which is why a standing relationship with a good detailer is the single best cosmetic investment a boat owner can make.

What it costs: Most South Florida detailers charge $8 to $20 per foot for a wash and wax, and $60 to $120 per foot for full ceramic coating packages.
