Maintaining the exterior of your yacht requires a bit more than a quick rinse at your home or marina dock.

Ideally you want to have year-round quality and consistent detailing maintenance, including regular wash downs, waxing or ceramic applications, completed by a professional detailing company locally near you to minimize the buildup of dirt, mold and black streaks. By keeping the vessel looking pristine, it will be ready for any planned or last-minute boat trip, viewings by any potential buyers and reduce the amount of work required prior to the busy boat show season. 

Fort Lauderdale, in South Florida is no stranger to tumultuous weather events, such as tornedo’s and hurricanes. With climate changes increasing the number of extreme winds and rain during storms, combined with the longer periods of intense sun with stronger UV rays and high humidity, an unprotected painted or gelcoat boat will weather and oxidize quicker. 

Regular yacht cleaning services from a professional detailing company like ours at Ten-Tex Boating is a surefire way to keep your vessel looking both pristine and protected from environmental conditions. Here are some of the ways our services enhance your boat’s appearance. 

Optimal Performance

Regular cleaning and detailing maintenance will help to prevent any accumulation of unwanted salt, grime, or other pollution’s from degrading the paint or gelcoat surfaces. With over 18 years in the boat detailing business here in Fort Lauderdale, we are your much-needed second set of experienced eyes to check for potential issues. 

Aesthetics and Value

A yacht is a substantial financial undertaking. Not only because you have a comfortable and highly personalized way to navigate the waters, but because you want to preserve as much as the resell value as possible. Using our owner-operated boat cleaning services combats the effects of environmental factors like UV rays, saltwater, and high winds from damaging your prized possession. 

Passenger and Crew Safety

Safety onboard your yacht should always be a top priority. Cleanliness and organization play an important role in this mission by ensuring all safety equipment, such as life jackets, fenders and dock lines, are easy to find, ready to use, with decks that are free from potential hazards. This significantly contributes to the overall safety of your passengers, guests, and crew members working onboard. Our full-time, uniformed, and in-house trained professionals listen to your unique needs and provide customized service that helps keep your vessel safe. 

Extending Lifespan

When you have regular detailing for your yacht, you prolong not only the time you have to enjoy on the water but extending the lifespan of the paint or gelcoat. Consistent cleaning services can reduce wear and tear that creates the need for expensive repairs down the road. You get the peace of mind using a professional cleaning and detailing company that is fully insured (including liability insurance and workers’ compensation), so that your vessel is in the best hands. 

Positive Reputation

A yacht is a status symbol. You don’t have to flaunt things if you do not wish, but when you own a beautiful vessel, there is an expectation that you will treat it with quality care. Having your yacht professionally cleaned enhances your reputation as a boat owner. It elevates your prestige and lets others know you take this lifestyle seriously and should be consulted for advice. Our team has access to 99% of South-East Florida’s marinas and boat yards, meaning you get the service you need to maintain that outstanding reputation. 

Why Does Regular Cleaning Matter? 

Fort Lauderdale is the Venice of South Florida with thousands of boats in the many canals and marinas. There are multiple water based events and gatherings happening throughout the year. With the rise in unpredictable storms, many of these events are getting canceled or postponed. You may prepare your boat for a parade or show, only to find out it will not happen.

Recently, the Seminole Hard Rock Winterfest Boat Parade was canceled due to safety concerns from a storm. That is just one of the five boat parades canceled or postponed across Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties.

A quick wash you meant for dressing up your vessel for the parade isn’t going to provide the same level of protection from rainwater, dirt, and sand getting kicked up in a storm. With over 18 years operating in the boat detailing industry, your local boat detailing team at Ten-Tex understands how to adapt to these concerns by providing expert cleaning with products that elevate the protection you need. That way, the next time you hear of a storm coming in, you can buckle down indoors with peace of mind that your vessel will still look stunning after the clouds clear. Give us a call today for on-time, on-budget cleaning of your prized vessel.
