Boating isn’t just a pastime in Grosse Pointe — it’s a way of life. From historic lakefront estates to modern waterfront homes, residents take pride in their vessels as much as their properties. Whether it’s a classic mahogany speedboat passed down through the family, or a luxury yacht gleaming under the summer sun, the people of Grosse Pointe understand that their boats are more than just possessions — they’re part of the story.
At Lakeside Boat Cleaning & Detailing, we’re honored to be part of that story.
We didn’t just open a business here — we built a relationship with the community. Over the years, we’ve served boat owners from Grosse Pointe Park to Grosse Pointe Shores, building our reputation on quality, trust, and care. We’ve been there for launch days, race weekends, and even the off-season hauls. Our work has touched everything from center consoles to 70-foot cruisers.
What sets us apart is not just the detailing — it’s the dedication. Grosse Pointe demands high standards, and we meet them every single time.
A clean boat isn’t just about looks — it’s about longevity, performance, and pride of ownership. The waters of Lake St. Clair, while beautiful, can leave behind stubborn stains, algae buildup, and harsh mineral deposits. Add in UV rays, weather exposure, and normal wear-and-tear, and your boat takes a real beating throughout the season.
Regular professional detailing keeps your vessel in peak condition, protecting its value and keeping it safe for your family and guests. It also saves you money in the long run by preventing premature degradation of finishes, upholstery, and hardware.
At Lakeside Boat Cleaning & Detailing, we provide a full suite of marine care services designed specifically for the boating lifestyle in Grosse Pointe. Here’s what we offer:
We start with a thorough pressure wash to remove all surface grime, algae, and water stains. Then we apply a premium-grade marine wax by hand or buffer to restore that deep, mirror-like shine. This also creates a protective barrier against sun and water damage.
From carpets and cushions to vinyl, leather, and headliners — we deep clean and sanitize your boat’s interior, leaving it fresh, spotless, and guest-ready. No mildew smells, no sticky spots, and no missed corners.
If your hull is showing signs of chalkiness or discoloration, we’ll perform oxidation removal and restore the original finish. We also provide underwater hull cleaning to remove algae, zebra mussels, and buildup that affects performance.
Teak wood is a beautiful and classic feature on many yachts and boats. We clean, sand, and treat teak surfaces to bring back their natural color and protect them from fading and splitting.
A clean engine runs better and lasts longer. We remove grease, oil, and buildup from the engine bay and bilge area while taking care not to disturb sensitive components.
Looking for long-term protection? Our ceramic coating service gives your boat a hydrophobic, high-gloss finish that resists staining, UV damage, and salt corrosion for up to 18 months or more.
We offer both pre-launch detailing and end-of-season cleanup to keep your vessel ready for action or storage. We also provide shrink-wrap removal cleanup, removing any mold or mildew that may have accumulated during the winter.
No two boats are alike — and neither are their owners. That’s why we offer custom packages tailored to the needs of each client. Whether you’re prepping your vessel for a summer cruise, showing it off at the Yacht Club, or getting it ready to sell, we’ll develop a plan that meets your goals and budget.
We understand that time is precious. That’s why our fully-equipped mobile detailing units come straight to your dock, marina, or home. No hauling. No hassle. Just professional results, on your schedule.
We proudly serve all five Grosse Pointe communities and surrounding areas — including private docks, neighborhood boat slips, and members of the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club, Neff Park Marina, and others.
