Why Ocean City Boats Need Special Care

Boats in Ocean City face some of the toughest conditions on the East Coast. Between offshore runs to the canyons, constant salt exposure, and intense summer UV, your gel coat takes a beating that bay boats simply don't experience.

I'm a Starke Yacht Care certified detailer with USCG captain credentials and boat building experience. That background means I understand what your hull goes through and how to protect it properly - not just make it look clean for a day.

Ocean City Boat Detailing FAQ

How much does boat detailing cost in Ocean City, MD?

Boat detailing in Ocean City, MD typically costs $160-$375 for wash and dry (25-30' boat), $800-$2,000 for correction with sealant, or $4,000-$8,000+ for full restoration with ceramic coating. Salt exposure from ocean-side boating can add 10-20% due to additional decontamination needed. I provide free assessments to give you an exact quote based on your boat's condition.

Do you service boats at Ocean City marinas?

Yes, I'm fully mobile and come to you. I regularly service boats at marinas throughout Ocean City including White Marlin Marina, Ocean City Fishing Center, Sunset Marina, and Harbour Island. I also work at private docks, boat lifts, and driveways in Ocean Pines and West Ocean City.

Why do Ocean City boats need more frequent detailing?

Ocean City boats face more aggressive conditions than bay boats. Direct ocean exposure means higher salt concentration, stronger UV, and more abrasive conditions. Salt accelerates gel coat oxidation and causes waterline staining faster. I recommend full detailing 2-3 times per season for ocean-side boats versus 1-2 times for bay boats.

What's the best protection for offshore fishing boats?

For offshore fishing boats running out of Ocean City, I recommend ceramic coating. It provides 12-24 months of protection against salt, UV, and oxidation - far outlasting wax or sealant that degrades in weeks with regular ocean exposure. The hydrophobic surface also makes washdowns faster and more effective.
