About Best Yacht Cleaning
“A clean yacht is a respected yacht. We treat every hull like it’s our own — and we’ve been around enough of them to know the difference.”
Best Yacht Cleaning is a nationwide network of in-house marine detail crews stationed at the major U.S. yachting ports — Fort Lauderdale, Newport, Annapolis, San Diego, Sausalito, Seattle and beyond. Every job is led by a foreman on our payroll, never anonymously subcontracted.
We’ve detailed everything from family weekend cruisers to 180-foot megayachts. We know which products melt brightwork, which pads burn gelcoat, and which polishes give a black hull that wet-glass finish owners actually pay for.

We brought our 92-ft Viking in for a pre-tournament detail in Stuart. They had her stripped, polished, and ceramic-coated in three days. Owner couldn’t believe it was the same boat.

Three other crews wanted me on a wait list. These folks quoted me at the dock and started the next morning. Newport Beach slip, 48-ft Sea Ray, hull dive included.

Teak deck on our 65-ft sailing yacht looked tired and gray. They didn’t flood the seams, didn’t over-sand — honey color came back beautifully.

Annapolis-based, 56-ft Carver. Bi-weekly program through the summer. The boat looked better at the end of the season than it did the day we picked her up.

★★★★★
Fort Lauderdale — pre-show detail on a 108-ft motor yacht. Marina HOA was strict on noise and water reclaim. These guys handled all of it. Sold the boat the second day of the show.
