One boat, three details a year.
Minnesota boating has a rhythm. We detail around it.
Spring: launch-ready
Shake off the winter before the first weekend on the lake. Full wash, interior reset and a check on your wax, sealant or coating.
Summer: stay-ready
Maintenance details between trips keep gloss high and interiors fresh, often in a single visit at your dock.
Fall: put-away
Clean, treat and protect before storage so mildew and stains don't spend the winter on board. Book before shrink-wrap.
Maintenance plans for the weeks in between.
Skip the big spring catch-up. A recurring visit at your dock keeps gloss high and interiors clean all season. Plans are priced by boat length and visit frequency.
Weekly
For boats on the water every weekend, rentals and busy families. Wash, dry, glass, interior wipe-down and a quick condition check.
Bi-weekly
The sweet spot for most owners. Wash, interior refresh, vinyl conditioning and spot treatment for stains and bird droppings.
Monthly
A deeper reset each month. Wash, vinyl and non-skid scrub, sealant top-up where needed and a mildew check.
Interior detail, priced by the foot.
Slide to your boat's length for a straight estimate. Gel coat polishing, ceramic coating and exterior work are quoted per boat once we've seen it or your photos.

Owner-operated, start to finish.
I'm Ryan, the owner of WAKE Detail Co. I run Voge Detailing in Fargo-Moorhead, detailing cars and trucks at customers' homes, and I started WAKE to bring the same standard to boats on the Alexandria lakes.
Every boat gets careful prep, the right chemistry for each surface and a finish I'm proud to put my name on. You deal with me directly, from the first quote to the final wipe-down.

Questions boat owners ask.
Do you come to my dock or lift?
Yes. We work at your dock, lift, trailer or storage lot. The boat stays where it is and we bring the equipment.
How much does boat detailing cost?
Interior detailing is priced by the foot: $20 per foot on a trailer and $30 per foot at a dock or lift. Gel coat polishing and ceramic coating are quoted per boat after we see photos or the boat itself.
What is the difference between wax, sealant and ceramic coating?
Wax gives warm gloss that lasts weeks. Sealant lasts months. A marine ceramic coating bonds to the gel coat and gives the longest-lasting protection against sun, spray and lake water.
When should I book a fall detail before storage?
Book before the boat is winterized or shrink-wrapped so every surface can be reached and treated before storage.
Do you also detail cars and trucks?
Yes. We offer auto detailing, paint correction, ceramic coating and ag equipment detailing.
Do you offer boat maintenance plans?
Yes. Weekly, bi-weekly and monthly plans keep your boat clean and protected all season. Pricing depends on boat length and how often we visit. Request a quote and we will build a plan for your boat.
