Sunrise Marine
Florida heat, salt air, and sun are brutal on boat upholstery. Mold creeps into seat seams, sunscreen yellows white vinyl, and UV breaks down the plasticizers that keep vinyl supple. At Sunrise Marine Detailing we deep-clean and condition every vinyl surface, seats, cushions, isinglass, headliners, and carpet, then lock in UV protection so your interior actually lasts the season.
Bring Your Boat Back to LifeVinyl cleaning is the most-neglected part of boat maintenance, and one of the most-expensive surfaces to replace if you let it go too long. We offer two ways to book it.
Standalone Vinyl Service, deep clean every vinyl surface (seats, helm pads, isinglass, headliner), kill mold and mildew at the root, treat sunscreen and dye stains, then apply marine-grade UV protectant. Most boats in the Tampa Bay area run $150 to $400 depending on size and condition.
Included With a Deep Clean, upholstery, carpet, and headliner cleaning come standard inside any Deep Clean package ($450 to $750). If you're booking an exterior service the same day, vinyl is included at no extra charge.
Not sure how bad yours is? Send us a few photos and we'll tell you honestly. Most owners are surprised how much white-vinyl color comes back with the right cleaner and conditioner.

Common Issues We Fix
Mold and Mildew
The number one problem we see on Tampa Bay boats. Mold grows anywhere there is moisture and poor ventilation, especially on seat backs, under cushions, and in storage compartments. We kill mold at the surface and treat the area to slow regrowth. Read our mold prevention guide for tips on keeping it away between cleanings.
Sunscreen and Lotion Stains
Sunscreen with avobenzone (the active ingredient in most spray sunscreens) chemically stains white vinyl yellow-orange. The longer it sits, the harder it is to remove. We use targeted treatments that break down these chemical stains without damaging the vinyl.
UV Fading and Cracking
Florida sun breaks down vinyl's plasticizers, causing it to dry out, fade, and eventually crack. Our conditioning treatment restores moisture and UV-protectant chemicals to extend the life of your vinyl.
