Yacht Detailing

  • Updated: June 30, 2025

Honest, Meticulous Care for the Vessel You’re Proud of

Owning a yacht is about more than cruising — it’s about pride, upkeep, and having a space that reflects your standards. Whether you spend weekends in Mission Bay or dock year-round at Shelter Island, your vessel is constantly exposed to salt spray, sun, and airborne grime.

At RoamShine, we specialize in mobile yacht detailing across San Diego — carefully cleaning and protecting your yacht where it sits, without shortcuts, without harsh chemicals, and without the pressure of a shop schedule.

What We Do When We Detail Your Yacht

Every yacht is different, so we don’t treat this like a one-size-fits-all job. Whether you’ve got a sport fishing boat, a sailboat, or a 60-foot motor yacht, we take the time to understand your finishes, your marina setup, and how you use your vessel.

Here’s what our most common detailing package covers:

On the Exterior:

  1. Full-body rinse + hand wash with soft brushes
  2. Railings, cleats, and chrome polished
  3. Waterline marks + salt buildup removed
  4. Deck and non-skid surfaces scrubbed
  5. Bug, bird, and hard water spots safely lifted
  6. Marine wax or sealant applied for long-term UV protection
  7. Windows, hatches, and glass cleaned streak-free

Inside the Cabin (Optional):

  1. Floor and seating vacuumed
  2. Vinyl and leather wiped and conditioned
  3. Wood surfaces cleaned and treated
  4. Bathrooms, galley, and high-touch areas sanitized
  5. Mildew, odors, or salt film addressed as needed
We only use marine-grade products that are safe for gelcoat, paint, polished metals, and the people who ride with you.

We coordinate access through the marina office or work directly with you. You don’t need to be present — though many of our clients enjoy walking through once we’re done.

Why Yacht Detailing Is Worth It

Yachts spend their lives in a tough environment. Salt, sun, wind, and bird activity can do real damage if ignored. Proper detailing helps you:

  1. Protect the finish from UV fade and oxidation
  2. Extend the life of your railings, seals, and deck surfaces
  3. Keep the interior feeling fresh and comfortable
  4. Avoid long-term repairs by staying ahead of buildup

It’s not just about making it look good — it’s about keeping it seaworthy and ready for any outing.

Common Questions

Do I need to be there while you detail my yacht?

Nope. Many clients give us access or marina clearance. We’ll send photos when we’re done.

Can you clean the hull below waterline?

We handle everything above the waterline. If your boat needs a dive clean, we can refer you.

Do you clean the roof or flybridge?

Absolutely — we bring our own ladders, brushes, and equipment to get every area we can safely reach.

Will this remove oxidation?

Yes, in many cases. If your boat’s finish has chalked or lost gloss, we’ll machine-polish and restore shine where possible.
