We come to your dock.

Five stages, one visit

The whole boat, not just the hull.

A full Ride & Tide visit covers five stages. In the Quote Builder you can tick the ones you’re seeing, and the hull drawing lights them up.

  1. Wool pad polishing the Scout's black hull

    01

    Oxidation

    Chalky, faded gelcoat compounded and buffed back to gloss, then sealed with marine-grade wax.

  2. The pontoon's curved lounge seating, cleaned and conditioned

    02

    Mildew

    Seats, cushions and vinyl cleaned, with mildew and odor treated, not just wiped.

  3. Pontoon captain's chair and cup-holder console after the detail

    03

    Protectant

    Upholstery and vinyl conditioned and protected against salt and sun.

  4. Pontoon deck toward the outboard after cleaning

    04

    Hatches

    We open every hatch. Storage gets vacuumed and wiped down, not skipped.

  5. Gelcoat seat base, speaker and stainless rail after compounding and polish

    05

    Rust

    Rust stains lifted off rails and hardware. Restored, not replaced.

Your boat never leaves the lift

On the lift. In the slip. On the water.

We work where the boat lives. On a lift we work from the dock and, when it helps, from a float alongside. In a slip we come to the marina.

  • Naples, Bonita Springs, Marco IslandOur home water: canal homes and marinas across all three.
  • Keys tripsWe run trips down to the Florida Keys, from Stock Island to Key West. Ask about the next one.
  • Monthly wash plansKyle’s rule of thumb: wash monthly if you can, every four months at the very least. Ask us about a plan.

Boat owners ask

Before you book.

All questions
Do I have to bring my boat somewhere?

No. We come to your dock and detail the boat where it sits, on the lift or in the slip. There is no haul-out. Cars and trucks are done in your driveway.

Where does Ride & Tide work?

Naples, Bonita Springs and Marco Island, Florida. We also run trips down to the Florida Keys, from Stock Island to Key West.

How much does boat detailing cost?

Boat work is priced per foot of length: Marine Interior + Exterior Detail is $10 per foot, Compound Polish + Wax is $75 per foot and Marine Ceramic Coating is $130 per foot. A 26-foot boat is $260 for the full detail. Price can vary with size and condition, so the final number comes after we see the boat or your photos.

How often should a boat be detailed?

Kyle’s rule of thumb: wash it monthly if you can, and every four months at the very least. Salt and sun never take a day off. Ask us about monthly wash plans.

How much notice do you need?

Please book at least 48 hours ahead. Cancellations also need 48 hours’ notice.
