These starting rates focus on exterior gelcoat restoration. If you also need interior work, canvas cleaning, ceramic coating, or other add-ons, we can bundle them into one quote — see Cabin & Interior Detailing or ask for a combined quote.
Boats Under 26' Ft
Correction Starting Rates
For smaller boats where access and surface area are more predictable. Final pricing still depends on oxidation, layout, and whether you want hull only or hull and topside.
From $40/ft
1-Step Hull Only
Light oxidation and gloss enhancement
From $55/ft
1-Step Hull & Topside
Light correction across more gelcoat surface
From $55/ft
2-Step Hull Only
Moderate to heavy oxidation
From $70/ft
2-Step Hull & Topside
More complete restoration scope
- • Superior Wash & Wax included
- • Correction matched to oxidation level
- • Protection applied to corrected surfaces
- • Final price confirmed after photos or inspection
Best for center consoles, smaller cruisers, bay boats, and boats where the finish needs a real reset before maintenance.
Boats 26' Ft & Larger
Yacht & Larger Boat Correction
Larger boats scale differently. More surface area, tall topsides, marina access, ladders, flybridges, and in-water work all affect labor and risk.
From $55/ft
1-Step Hull Only
Light correction on larger boats
From $70/ft
1-Step Hull & Topside
More access, more surface area
From $70/ft
2-Step Hull Only
Moderate to heavy yacht oxidation
From $85/ft
2-Step Hull & Topside
More complete large-vessel restoration
- • Superior Wash & Wax included
- • Built for larger surfaces and longer project timelines
- • Accounts for ladders, tall angles, and marina logistics
- • Written estimate before work begins
Larger yacht correction is restoration work, not a simple wash. We quote it with enough room to do the job carefully.
How we determine the right package (inspection process)
We don’t guess. We assess gelcoat condition, oxidation level, waterline staining, hull-only vs. hull and topside scope, swirl visibility, and access around rails, towers, hatches, tight areas, docks, lifts, and rafts. For many boats, a quick photo review works — for heavier oxidation we may do an in-person walkthrough at the marina or storage location.
If your boat is on a schedule (upcoming trip, season start, marina deadline), let us know early — our calendar fills up fast at the beginning of the season.
Included with correction
Superior Wash & Wax is built into every correction package
Before we protect the finish, the boat gets the prep and cleanup needed for restoration work: a deeper wash, mildew and stain attention where needed, compartments and head cleaning when part of the scope, brightwork/windows/isinglass dry-down, and wax or protection on the corrected gelcoat. That means the correction price is not just buffing - it already includes the cleanup and protection needed to finish the job properly.
