Santiago and his team did an excellent job in detailing my Scout32lxf. The difference is incredible and it shines like it did when it was new. They were organized, communicated well and completed the job beyond my expectations. Two of my neighbors already use them and I have already told others about my great experience. A class act guy and company you can count on.Posted on Jeanne EzcurraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Boat looks very good. Would like you to pay attention to snaps -they have black around them when covers are removed. Maybe that gets done at next service. Thank you!

Safeguard, restore, and keep your boat looking new
Shield, Enhance & Extend Your Boat’s Life
Boat detailing goes beyond clean—it preserves longevity and showroom shine. See how routine care protects finish, value, and durability.
UV, salt, and oxidation are relentless. Professional detailing adds protective layers that keep gelcoat, metals, and vinyl in top condition.
Machine polishing and coatings restore clarity and depth of color, so your boat looks sharp season after season with less upkeep.
A well-documented care routine signals value. Clean, protected surfaces translate into stronger offers when it’s time to sell or trade.
Decontamination prevents corrosion, staining, and buildup—reducing maintenance surprises and keeping you on the water, not in the shop.

Count on our pro crew to restore, protect, and impress.
Surface to Service Perfection
Restore gloss, erase oxidation, shield bottom, renew gelcoat—end to end.
ELC Detailing provides professional boat care services specifically adapted to Boston Whaler vessels operating in Sarasota and surrounding Gulf waters.
Our approach focuses on preserving hull integrity, restoring gelcoat clarity, and protecting surfaces exposed to constant UV radiation and saltwater. Through services such as boat full detailing, wash programs, wet sanding for oxidation removal, gelcoat repair, and bottom paint service for in water storage, Boston Whaler owners can maintain optimal performance and appearance year round.
Boston Whaler boats are engineered with closed cell foam flotation, fiberglass reinforced hulls, and deep V or modified V designs depending on model.
This unsinkable construction provides exceptional safety but requires professional exterior care to prevent surface degradation over time. Gelcoat surfaces are exposed to expansion, contraction, and oxidation in Sarasota’s climate, making controlled surface correction and protection essential.
Sarasota’s high UV index, salt concentration, and humidity accelerate oxidation, staining, and surface fatigue. Regular professional boat care helps prevent chalking, maintains hydrodynamic efficiency, and reduces long term repair costs.
Boats stored at marinas or used frequently benefit significantly from scheduled detailing and hull protection services that preserve both appearance and function.
In Sarasota’s active boating market, Boston Whalers with documented professional care consistently outperform neglected vessels in resale value. Buyers pay close attention to hull condition, gelcoat clarity, and overall presentation.
Investing in ongoing care not only protects the boat but strengthens its market position when it is time to sell or trade.

Costs vary depending on size, condition, and services needed, but professional care is far less expensive than correcting advanced oxidation or structural gelcoat damage later.
Yes. Sarasota’s sun and salt exposure commonly cause oxidation that wet sanding corrects safely and effectively when performed by professionals.
Absolutely. Bottom paint helps prevent marine growth, protects the hull, and reduces drag for boats stored in Sarasota marinas.
