What Boat Detailing in Seattle Includes
Showroom finish, inside and out. Every job in Seattle is mobile dockside service. We come to your marina, slip, dry storage, or driveway with a fully equipped truck.
Seattle owners call us when the shine is gone. On Lake Union and Lake Washington that usually means salt film and oxidation, and both come off with the right compound, polish and protection rather than a quick wipe down.
Seattle Local Coverage: Lake Union, Lake Washington, Shilshole, and Elliott Bay marinas.
- Hand wash and bug, salt, and grime removal
- Compound, polish, and wax oxidation removal
- Ceramic coating up to 5 year protection
- Interior carpet, vinyl, and headliner cleaning
- Teak cleaning, brightening, and sealing
- Pre season and post season detail packages
Why Seattle Boaters Choose Divine Marine
Algae, diesel film, and seagull damage at Shilshole call for compound and ceramic packages. We detail at Elliott Bay and Lake Union slips year round.
Seattle boats live in two worlds. Salt from Shilshole and Elliott Bay works into hardware and gelcoat, while the fresh water of Lake Union and the Ship Canal leaves algae lines, diesel film and a steady layer of city grime from the floating homes and the bridges overhead.
Typical Seattle boats we detail include Lake Union cruisers and liveaboards, Shilshole sailboats, Elliott Bay sport fishers and Lake Washington wake boats. Fiberglass hull cleaning starts at $350, interior detailing at $450, exterior detailing at $850 and full boat detailing at $1,300, with length and condition setting the final price.
From our Kirkland shop we cross on SR 520 or I-90 and are working on Westlake, in Ballard or down at Elliott Bay the same morning.

How It Works
How Seattle Jobs Run
Same process on every boat, whether it is a Lake Union cruisers and liveaboards or a boat in a covered slip. Lock transits at the Ballard Locks, Opening Day traffic in May and the Seafair weekend in August all shape when Seattle owners want work done, so we book the busy weeks early.
Tell Us About The Boat
Send the make, length, slip or launch location in Seattle and a few photos of the finish. Oxidation level decides the package.
Written Estimate
You get a written price for the wash, compound, polish, wax or ceramic package before any work starts.
Mobile Detail At Your Slip
We arrive with water management, marine grade products and the tools to finish the job in one visit where possible.
Walk Through & Protection Plan
We walk the boat with you and set a maintenance wash schedule that keeps the finish protected through the Seattle season.

Shane at Divine replaced the Fusion stereo and speakers on my boat. He did an incredible job guiding me to the right solution and then doing the install. He was mobile so the experience was quite convenient and the workmanship was of the highest quality. In addition, he gave me recommendations to other service providers to do repairs on my boat. My experience was terrific and I highly recommend Shane and Divine.

Shane was great! Very knowledgeable about audio and electronics, great suggestions for products. Best of all, he picked up my boat and returned it the very next day with all new sound system! Really happy with the update so far!

Shane is wonderful to work with. He put a much needed upgraded sound system on my yacht in Lake Union and some other nice gadgets. Beautiful workmanship.
Boat Detailing FAQ: Seattle
Common questions from Seattle boat owners about boat detailing.
How much does boat detailing cost in Seattle?
Fiberglass hull cleaning starts at $350, interior detailing at $450, exterior detailing at $850 and full boat detailing at $1,300. For Seattle boats the final price depends on length, how heavy the oxidation is and whether the boat is at Shilshole Bay Marina or on a trailer.
How often should a Seattle boat be waxed?
For boats used on Lake Union we recommend a full compound and wax at least once a year, ideally before launch, with a maintenance wash and wax mid season. Salt water boats do better with a ceramic coating, which lasts up to five years.
Do you detail boats at Elliott Bay Marina?
Yes. We detail boats at Elliott Bay Marina, Shilshole Bay Marina and at homes in Ballard, Fremont and Eastlake. We follow marina rules for water and runoff and bring everything we need on the truck.
Do you work on liveaboards and floating homes on Lake Union?
Yes. A large share of our Seattle work is on Lake Union, Portage Bay and the Ship Canal, including liveaboard boats that rarely leave the dock. We plan around marina quiet hours, bring our own power where moorage limits shore power, and keep the dock clean while we work.
