Marine Detailing Built for Coastal Conditions
Why Your Vessel Needs Professional Marine Care
Saltwater, UV exposure, and the demands of regular use create a level of wear on marine vessels that standard cleaning simply cannot address. Oxidized gel coat, salt-embedded surfaces, and neglected interiors are the result of skipping professional care over time. At Ace of Spades, our boat detailing services are built specifically for the coastal NC environment, using marine-grade products and proven processes that tackle the damage saltwater creates and keep your vessel looking and performing the way it should.

Why Boat Detailing Is Worth the Investment
Coastal NC conditions are among the harshest that a vessel will face. Salt air, intense sun, and biological growth work continuously against gel coat, upholstery, and every surface on your boat. Professional detailing is not a luxury for your vessel. It is maintenance.
Saltwater Takes a Toll
Saltwater exposure accelerates oxidation, fades gel coat, and degrades interior materials faster than freshwater use. Regular detailing slows that process considerably and keeps your vessel looking sharp season after season.
Gel Coat Needs Attention
Unlike automotive paint, boats have gel coat applied to the fiberglass. Without proper cleaning, polishing, and sealing, gel coat oxidizes and loses its color and clarity over time. Our gel coat restoration service brings that finish back.
Maintains Long-Term Value
A well-maintained vessel holds its value far better than one showing obvious neglect. Whether you plan to keep it for decades or eventually sell, consistent detailing is one of the best things you can do for your investment.
Any Vessel, Any Size

What Type of Vessel Do You Have?
Center Consoles and Fishing Boats
Salt exposure, fish blood, and constant sun take a toll on fishing boats faster than most owners realize. Our exterior and interior packages are built to handle coastal NC marine conditions at every level.
Pontoons and Family Vessels
Pontoons see heavy use and heavy passengers. We specialize in aluminum polishing and full interior treatments that keep family vessels clean, fresh, and ready for the next outing.
Yachts and Larger Vessels
For vessels where presentation matters as much as performance, our ceramic coating and full exterior detail packages deliver the kind of finish that matches the quality of the boat itself.
