One of Sydney's leading boat detailers, now on the Northern Rivers
Over 20 years in Sydney we detailed Riviera, Sunseeker, Palm Beach and Princess yachts, and we presented boats at the Sydney Boat Show five times for Bavaria Yachts, where every hull has to be flawless. Alongside the show work came years of regular and annual maintenance details for owners at marinas and at their homes.
That experience now comes to the Northern Rivers. We travel from Ballina to the Gold Coast for boat detailing, so your boat can stay where it is: in its marina berth, on the hardstand, or on the trailer in your driveway.
Gelcoat restoration for sun and salt
Coastal UV and salt air slowly oxidise gelcoat until it turns chalky and dull. In most cases the damage is on the surface and responds well to machine compounding and polishing. We cut back the oxidation, refine the finish to a deep gloss, then protect it with wax or a ceramic coating so the shine lasts.

- Cover cleaning and clears
- Marine carpet cleaning
- Washing and detailing of any type of boat, no matter how big or small
- Marine ceramic coating on the Northern Rivers and Byron Bay area
Pre-sale, restoration and maintenance details
Selling? A pre-sale detail is the cheapest way to add value: a polished hull, bright stainless and a clean, fresh interior photograph well and make a strong first impression. Keeping the boat? A regular maintenance detail stops oxidation getting a foothold, so you never face a big restoration job.

Boat Detailing FAQs
Where do you detail boats on the Northern Rivers?
Northern Rivers Detailing travels from Ballina to the Gold Coast for boat detailing, including Byron Bay, the Tweed and the Brunswick, Richmond and Tweed rivers. We detail boats in marina berths, on moorings and hardstands, and on trailers at your home or work.
Can you restore a faded, chalky boat?
In most cases, yes. Oxidised gelcoat responds well to machine compounding and polishing. We cut back the chalky surface layer, polish the gelcoat to a gloss, then wax or ceramic coat it so the finish lasts in coastal sun and salt.
What size boats do you detail?
Any size, from small trailer boats to motor yachts. Brad has buffed and polished over 5,000 boats, including Riviera, Sunseeker, Palm Beach and Princess yachts, and presented boats at five Sydney Boat Shows for Bavaria Yachts.
Do you offer pre-sale boat detailing?
Yes. A pre-sale detail polishes the hull and topsides, brightens the stainless and cleans the interior, carpets and covers so the boat photographs well and makes a strong first impression on buyers.
