Vilamoura's boats already trust us with their cars — the marina is twelve minutes from one studio, under ten from the other. On request, the same hands take on the boats themselves: interior deep-cleans after a season, upholstery and leather rebuilt by the craftsmen who do our car interiors, and exterior gelcoat and brightwork detailing considered project by project. Every boat is inspection-led — we walk it first, then quote it honestly.
Boat interiors fail the way car interiors fail, only faster: salt-heavy air, cabins closed for weeks, sun through glass. The work we bring is the work we already do daily — extraction deep-cleans of fabric and carpets, leather cleaned, repaired and re-stitched by hand, alcantara handled with the care it demands, ozone treatment when smells live deeper than surfaces.
That is the honest shape of the offer: the same hands that do our interior and paint work, on the water. Our certifications are automotive — STEK film, RestorFX, upholstery craft proven on cars — and we don't dress them up as marine qualifications. What transfers is the standard and the method; what changes is the platform.
“A boat humbles you the first time you walk one — salt reaches places a car never lets it. That's why I'll stand on the deck before I name a number: the boat sets the scope, not the price list.”
Anyone who keeps a boat at the marina knows the lesson salt teaches gelcoat — it's the same lesson we quote to car owners parking near the moorings. Exterior detailing of gelcoat and brightwork is taken on by request: we inspect the surfaces, agree what a correct result looks like, and quote the project after seeing the boat, not from a price list.
We already work this way on land — caravan and motorhome washes are arranged individually, priced on size and condition, because a published number for an unseen hull-sized surface would be a guess dressed as a price. A boat gets the same honesty.
One WhatsApp message with the boat, the berth and what's bothering you. We come to the marina, walk the boat with you, and put the scope in writing — what we'll do, what we advise against, and what we'd rather not touch. The quote follows the walk-through.
Timing works around the boat's life: interiors are best between charters or before the season opens, and owners who are away can hand the schedule to us the way our marina car clients already do.
No, and we won't pretend otherwise. Our certifications are automotive — STEK, RestorFX, upholstery and detailing craft proven on 8,000+ cars. Boat work is taken on by request, inspection-led, and we only accept what we're confident we can do to our own standard.
There is no price list — deliberately. Every boat is quoted after we walk it, because size, materials and condition vary too much for an honest published number. The walk-through and the written scope come first; the quote follows.
We agree that at the walk-through — it depends on the job. Some work suits the berth; upholstery pieces are often better rebuilt at the studio and refitted. The scope we put in writing says exactly where each part happens.
