Why San Diego Boat Owners Choose Smith Bros
Smith Bros provides professional marine detailing for boats and watercraft of all sizes across San Diego County.
San Diego's year-round boating season means constant exposure to saltwater, UV rays, and salt air. These conditions cause your boat's gel coat to oxidize and lose its original color over time. Salt buildup, hard water mineral deposits, and algae etch into surfaces at every level, while trapped moisture promotes corrosion below the waterline. Both freshwater boats and boats kept at coastal docks need regular detailing to prevent this kind of damage and protect resale value.
Our mobile boat detailing service comes directly to your dock, marina, or dry storage location. Each mobile unit is fully self-contained with its own water and power, so we need nothing from your location. Smith Bros is a family-owned mobile detailing company with over 30 years of experience, and we bring the same professional marine detailing to every boat, whether it's a fishing rig or a full-size yacht.
We also detail RVs, motorcycles, and fleet vehicles. Your boat looks and feels brand new after every service, and we stand behind our work with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Mobile Boat Detailing Service FAQ
Don't see your question? Ask us here and you'll get a straight answer from the crew that does the work.
What Boat Detailing Packages Do You Offer?
Smith Bros offers several packages depending on your boat's condition. Options include Wash & Wax, Wash & Ceramic, Interior Detail, Complete Detail, and Restorer for oxidation removal. Ceramic coating tiers (Bronze, Silver, and Gold) provide protection from 1 to 5 years. Each package is priced per foot, so you only pay based on boat size.
Can You Remove Oxidation and Restore Faded Gelcoat?
Our Restorer package is built for boats with oxidized or faded gel coat surfaces. We use machine polishing to bring back the original color and shine, with the option to add a ceramic sealant for extended protection. Boats with heavy staining or saltwater buildup may need extra time for full gel coat restoration.
Do You Offer Ceramic Coating for Boats?
Smith Bros applies Opti-Coat Pro and Optimum Gloss Coat ceramic coatings for boats, providing multi-year protection against UV damage, saltwater, and stain buildup. We also offer TEC582 ceramic sealant for up to 6 months of gloss and hydrophobic (water-repelling) protection.
How Often Should I Have My Boat Detailed?
For boats with frequent use, we recommend a wash every 4 to 6 weeks and a wax or ceramic upgrade at least once a season. Regular detailing prevents salt buildup, deck staining, and corrosion, extending the life of your finish and keeping your boat in top condition.
Where Can My Boat Be Detailed?
We detail boats at your home, dock, marina, storage facility, or our San Marcos shop. The boat must be on a trailer or out of the water for safety and quality. We serve locations across San Diego County, including Coronado, Shelter Island, Mission Bay, and the greater San Diego area. Our self-contained units carry everything needed, so no hookups are required at your location.
