Yacht Detailing in Tampa Bay: 40ft and Larger
Large boats and yachts need a detailing team that understands the scale, the materials, and the expectations. We have detailed vessels from 40 to 100+ feet across Tampa Bay's marinas and private docks.
Why Yacht Detailing is Different
A 50-foot yacht is not just a bigger version of a 25-foot center console. The surface area is exponentially larger, the materials are more varied (gelcoat, painted surfaces, teak, stainless, glass), and the stakes are higher. A scratch on a $500K yacht is a different conversation than on a $30K fishing boat. Our team has the equipment, the compounds, and the experience to handle large vessels. We use lifts, scaffolding, and extended-reach tools to access every surface safely.Yacht Detailing Services

Frequently Asked Questions
Yacht Detailing FAQ
Yacht Detailing FAQs
Yachts need scaled-up versions of everything
Yacht detailing is the same fundamental work as smaller boat detailing, just on a larger scale with more surface area, more brightwork, more interior space, and more complexity. Most detailers who advertise yacht service lack the equipment or experience for larger vessels.Yacht detailing pricing varies widely with size and scope
Yacht details typically start around $1,500 for basic service on smaller yachts and can run significantly higher for full restoration or ceramic coating on 50+ ft vessels. Quote is always custom for yachts, too many variables.Yacht crews appreciate professional maintenance
For crewed yachts, our service supplements crew work rather than replaces it. We handle specialized work (restoration, ceramic coating) that most crews are not set up for.Interior detailing is often bigger than exterior on yachts
On larger yachts, interior detailing, cabin cleaning, upholstery, galley, heads, carpet, can take longer than exterior work. We do both and coordinate the sequence to avoid re-dirtying finished areas.On-site vs. boatyard choice depends on scope
Small yacht work is typically done at your slip. Major restoration or ceramic coating on large yachts may be better done at a boatyard where we can control conditions. We handle coordination either way.Do you work on large yachts?
Yes. We detail yachts up to roughly 55 ft routinely. Larger yachts are handled case-by-case depending on access, scope, and timing. Contact us with your vessel details and we will confirm.How much does yacht detailing cost?
Yacht detailing pricing varies widely with vessel size and scope. Basic service on smaller yachts starts around $1,500. Full details on larger yachts, restoration work, and ceramic coating can run significantly higher. Request a custom quote.Can you work on yachts at private marinas like Westshore Yacht Club?
Yes. We service yachts at Westshore Yacht Club, Davis Islands Yacht Club, Tierra Verde Marina, Regatta Pointe, and other Tampa Bay yacht facilities regularly.Do you detail interior spaces on yachts?
Yes. On larger yachts, interior work (cabins, heads, galleys, upholstery) is a major part of the service. We coordinate interior and exterior to finish both to the same standard.Can you work with our yacht crew or captain?
Yes. For crewed yachts, we coordinate with the captain or senior crew member on scheduling, scope, and access. Our service supplements crew work rather than replacing it.Heavy oxidation needs a full restoration
Chalky, faded or rough gelcoat needs sanding, multi-step compounding and polishing. Full restoration runs $4,250 to $32,000 depending on boat size and how heavy the oxidation is. It takes 2 to 5 days, on-site whenever possible. Most customers pair it with ceramic coating afterward, which locks in the result for 2 to 5 years. See Full Sanding Restoration.How long does a full yacht detail take?
A full interior and exterior detail on a 50-foot yacht typically takes 2 to 3 days. Larger vessels or those needing heavy restoration may take longer. We provide a timeline with every quote.
Can you work at my private dock?
Yes. We bring all equipment and supplies to your location. We work at private docks, marina slips, and boatyards across Tampa Bay.
Do you have experience with painted hulls?
Yes. We use different compounds and techniques for painted surfaces versus gelcoat. We will never use a gelcoat compound on a painted hull. Call (727) 297-8866 or email us at corey@sunrisemarinedetailingllc.com for a yacht detailing consultation.
