Full Top Side Services

If your boat sits in a Southern California harbor, two things are attacking it every single day: the sun and the birds.

Bird droppings are acidic. Left on your gelcoat, canvas, or vinyl for even a few days, they etch into the surface and cause permanent staining and damage. On dark-colored hulls and canvas, the damage is visible fast. On moorings and near dock pilings, pelicans, cormorants, and seagulls turn your boat into a target, and the longer it sits between cleanings, the worse it gets.

Then there's the sun. Southern California gets 280+ days of sunshine a year. That UV exposure fades canvas, cracks vinyl, oxidizes gelcoat, and breaks down every surface on your boat that faces the sky. Without regular washing, waxing, and UV protection treatment, your topside deteriorates faster than anything below the waterline.

We handle the full range of above-the-waterline maintenance: deck cleaning, wash-downs, brightwork care, canvas and vinyl treatment, and general detailing. We can service boats on moorings, not just at the dock. We bring our own fresh water supply to your vessel, so even if you're on a mooring ball with no shore access, your boat still gets a proper wash-down.

Regular topside maintenance isn't cosmetic. It's protection. It preserves your gelcoat, extends the life of your canvas and vinyl, and keeps your boat looking the way it should.
