Yrs. Detailing

Hi, I'm James — a Sarasota local, U.S. Air Force veteran, and passionate boater. I own a 27-foot center console and use it nearly every weekend. That means I understand exactly what it takes to keep your investment looking its best in Florida's harsh sun and saltwater conditions.

I do every boat myself — no subcontractors, no shortcuts. I've been perfecting my craft for over 20 years, and I've seen just about every detailing challenge imaginable. I use premium nano and hybrid ceramic sealants for long-lasting protection and a showroom finish.

  • ✓ Specializing in bay boats & center consoles (all types welcome)

Customer Reviews

What Our Clients Say

Real results from real boats in the Sarasota-Bradenton area.

★★★★★

"James did an incredible job on my 22-foot Mako. The hull looked brand new — he removed stains I thought were permanent. Will absolutely use him again."

M
Mike T.
Sarasota, FL · Bay Boat Owner
★★★★★

"I live out of town and trust James completely. I text him when I'm coming down and the boat is always spotless and ready. He's been doing my boat for years and it's never looked better."

S
Sandra K.
Longboat Key, FL · Maintenance Plan
★★★★★

"I had heavy mildew on all my seats and figured I'd need to replace them. James cleaned them perfectly. Honest, hardworking, and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend."

R
Rob D.
Bradenton, FL · Center Console Owner
★★★★★

"Great communication, showed up on time, and the results were outstanding. My 24-foot center console looks like it just rolled off the lot. Priced fairly too."

C
Chris M.
Siesta Key, FL · Full Detail
★★★★★

"James compounded a badly oxidized colored hull and it came back to life. I didn't think it was possible. He's clearly done this thousands of times and really knows his stuff."

T
Tom B.
Venice, FL · Hull Compound
