I service boats throughout Maryland's Eastern Shore, from Ocean City up through the Chesapeake Bay. My regular service area includes Ocean City, Berlin, Ocean Pines, Salisbury, Cambridge, St. Michaels, and surrounding areas. I'm fully mobile - I come to your marina, dock, or driveway with all my equipment.
How much does boat detailing cost in Maryland?
For a 25' boat, my packages start at $1,100 for wash and protection (Clean & Protect), $1,600 for swirls and dull finish (Polish & Seal), and $3,500 for ceramic coating (Standard Thor). Final pricing depends on your boat's condition - I provide free assessments to give you an accurate quote.
What makes Maryland boats different to detail?
Maryland boats face a unique combination of conditions. Ocean-side boats in Ocean City get heavy salt exposure from offshore fishing. Bay boats on the Chesapeake deal with brackish water and sediment. Both environments are humid with strong summer UV. I adjust my approach based on where you boat and the specific wear patterns I see during assessment.
Do you service boats on the Chesapeake Bay?
Yes. I regularly work on boats in St. Michaels, Cambridge, Easton, and other Chesapeake Bay communities. Bay boats often show different wear patterns than ocean boats - more waterline staining from brackish water and algae growth on lower units. I'm familiar with the specific challenges Bay boaters face.
Why should I choose a Starke-certified detailer?
Starke Yacht Care certification means I've received factory training on marine-specific products designed for gel coat. This matters because marine environments require different approaches than automotive detailing. My certification ensures proper surface preparation and application technique - the difference between ceramic coating that lasts 12-24 months and coating that fails in weeks.
Do you offer maintenance plans for Maryland boaters?
Yes. After initial correction and ceramic coating, I offer scheduled maintenance plans to keep your boat protected. Plans range from $325-$650+ per month depending on boat size and service level. Monthly service keeps salt and contamination from building up, and I catch any issues before they become expensive problems.
I'll come to your marina anywhere on Maryland's Eastern Shore, assess your boat's condition, and give you an honest recommendation.
