Detailing & Protection

Freshwater still stains gelcoat, corrodes metals, and fades upholstery, especially during long Great Lakes seasons. Detailing services protect your boat’s appearance and resale value.​

  • Exterior Wash & Wax: Hull and topsides wash, oxidation removal where needed, and UV‑protective wax

  • Interior Cleaning: Cabins, cockpits, vinyl, glass, and non‑skid surfaces cleaned and protected

  • Metal & Canvas Care: Stainless polishing, isinglass cleaning, and basic canvas waterproofing​

  • End‑of‑Season Cleaning: full washdown before storage to remove algae, grime, and contaminants

Seasonal Launch, Haul‑Out & Storage

Large lakes demand dependable launch, haul‑out, and storage to avoid damage from storms, freezing, and fluctuating water levels. Operations coordinate with marinas and ramps across the region for smooth transitions each season.​

  • Spring Launch: Hull inspection, plug checks, recommissioning of engine, electrical, and onboard systems​

  • Fall Haul‑Out: Haul, pressure wash, condition photo report, and placement in storage​

  • Winterization: Engine and drive winterization, fuel treatment, systems draining, and antifreeze service as appropriate

  • Storage: Indoor heated, indoor cold, and outdoor shrink‑wrapped options through partner facilities
