Middle Peninsula Marine Detailing provides careful deep cleaning, oxidation correction, polishing, protection, and sales preparation in the Middle Peninsula and Northern Neck.
Professional Marine Detailing
Middle Peninsula Marine Detailing was built from a lifelong passion for boats and a belief that the work should be done correctly and never rushed. Every project begins with a complimentary consultation to build a clear plan based on your boat’s condition and your goals.
We focus on restoring appearance, protecting surfaces, and delivering results that last well beyond pickup day.
Estimates are available by appointment at our Deltaville location or at the vessel’s storage location.

Your Questions, Answered
Where are you located?
Estimates and consultations are available by appointment at our Deltaville, VA location or at your vessel.
Do you offer mobile detailing?
Trailer drop off service is preferred, as the lighting and controlled environment in our shop allows for the best correction. We can assist with trailer transportation to our shop as needed.
Can you remove oxidation and waterline staining?
In many cases, yes. Results depend on the condition and remaining thickness of the gelcoat. A test section may be completed before recommending the full correction process.
How is pricing determined?
Pricing begins with boat length and service level, and then considers condition, oxidation, staining, access and work requested. Final pricing and expectations are set after inspection before scheduling service. Deposits may be required for larger projects or restoration work. Terms are confirmed before scheduling.
How long does a detail take?
Maintenance details typically require one working day. Full details may require two days. Restoration work may require three days or longer. Turn around time to be determined at inspection.
Do you work on boats kept in slips or on a lift?
Limited dockside work is available for slip and lift kept vessels, including maintenance packages and dockside provisioning. The majority of our slipped and lift kept customers are also Maintenance Members. Contact us for additional information.
No. Textured nonskid is deep cleaned using products and methods designed for that surface. Compounds and conventional wax can leave residue or create unsafe slickness.
Do you compound or wax nonskid decks?
