Why detailing matters

Salt never sleeps.

Every week she sits, the water works quietly against her. Detailing isn't vanity — it's how a boat holds her value.

The sun

UV chalks the gelcoat

Unprotected gelcoat oxidises to flat, porous chalk — and once it's through, no polish brings it back.

The salt

Salt etches everything

Left to dry, salt pits stainless, dulls clears and creeps into every fitting it touches.

The market

Presentation is price

At resale or survey, a cared-for boat tells her story before a word is said — and it shows in the number.

The fix isn't effort. It's care, on a schedule — that's what we do.

Who we are

Where the marinas
send their own.

Michael's Boat Detailing has cared for boats on Pittwater since 1987. Our first client was Riviera — still with us today. From the inception of Maritimo, they too have been a client, and we've detailed at every Sydney International Boat Show since we began.

Cruisers, yachts, new deliveries and old loves — there's nothing more rewarding than bringing a boat back to the way it should be.

How it works

    We bring everything to you — the boat stays put.

  4. Kept that way

    A program keeps her gleaming, season after season.

Before you call

Owners usually ask.

Do you come to my boat?

Yes — dockside at your berth or mooring across Pittwater and greater Sydney. The boat stays put.

What kinds of boats do you detail?

Everything from trailer boats to large cruisers and yachts — including premium builds from Riviera and Maritimo.

How often should she be detailed?

On the water, a full detail once or twice a season plus scheduled washes protects both the finish and the value.

Antifoul, engine service, shrink wrapping?

Yes — complete boat care under one call: washing, detailing, antifoul, engine service and shrink wrapping for any size of boat.

Ready when you are

See her gleam again.

Christmas and show season are our busiest weeks of the year, and the diary fills fast. One call gets her on the schedule.
