    The treatment · Cordillera Ranch

    Cruisers detailing in Cordillera Ranch.

    Sport bowriders, day cruisers, and cabin cruisers — for the boats that live in a slip and need to look like new when the family arrives.

    Cordillera Ranch owners with cruisers typically work out of Canyon Lake (20 minutes east of Boerne). Slip-kept boats at Cypress Bend Marina, Mountain Springs Resort, Cranes Mill Marina. Trailer launches at Cranes Mill Park ramp and Comal Park ramp. Hard mineral water from Comal Springs feed leaves spots if rinses aren't quick.

    Why Cordillera Ranch

    Built for Cordillera Ranch owners.

    Cordillera Ranch is one of the Hill Country's most exclusive gated communities, just west of Boerne. The clubhouse and golf course set the tone — and the garages match. We service Cordillera weekly: wakesurf boats trailered down to Canyon Lake, diesel-pusher Class A's heading out to Colorado, and corporate jets hangared at Boerne Stage Field five minutes away.

    Owner profile. Cordillera Ranch homes routinely keep three- and four-car garages, with luxury wakesurf boats, Class A diesel pushers, and corporate aircraft hangared at nearby Boerne Stage Field. Owners here invest in annual ceramic coating, paint correction, and full PreBuy details before any sale.

    A 28-foot Sea Ray Sundancer at Hurst Harbor on Lake Travis is a different beast than a bass boat or a center console. It sits in a covered slip nine months a year. The family uses it three weekends. The cabin holds a head, a galley, a fridge, and a leather settee that's been baking in trapped sun. The hull below the waterline grows a beard of algae. The cockpit upholstery accumulates sunscreen and citronella smoke. Cabin interiors smell musty by the second weekend of the summer because the air handler doesn't run when nobody's onboard. A cruiser detail is half boat work, half cabin restoration — and it's our most time-intensive single-day boat service.

    How we work on yours

    Cruisers protocol Cordillera Ranch edition.

    01

    Hull walk-through with the owner, water-line assessment, and confirmation of whether the boat needs an above-waterline-only detail or a haul-out for bottom service.

    02

    Pressure rinse from rail down to waterline; algae waterline beard cleaned with marine hull cleaner before any polish.

    03

    Gelcoat polish above the waterline — DA polisher, finish-appropriate pads, two-stage on heavy oxidation.

    04

    Cockpit vinyl and helm seating: marine cleaner, UV conditioner; leather cockpit seating gets a leather-specific cleaner-and-condition.

    05

    07

    Cabin leather settee, helm chair, and dinette cushions cleaned and conditioned panel by panel.

    Cordillera Ranch questions

    What owners always ask.

    Yes — Canyon Lake (20 minutes east of Boerne from Cordillera Ranch) is one of our core service areas for cruisers. We work slip-kept boats at Cypress Bend Marina and Mountain Springs Resort and ramp-side jobs at Cranes Mill Park ramp. We bring our own water and power.

    Almost always, yes. Cabin smell is bacteria in headliner, carpet, and cushion foam. We clean every surface, run ozone for 2-4 hours, ventilate, and the smell is gone. We've never met a cruiser cabin we couldn't fix without ripping interior out.

    Above-waterline algae we handle directly. Below-waterline (the bottom paint area) requires a haul-out — we coordinate with your marina for that service and inspect/touch-up bottom paint and zincs when the boat is out of the water.

    Yes, and it's worth what we charge for it. Boat heads need a full pump-out coordination, fresh-water hose flush, and a deep clean with marine-safe sanitizer. We handle the whole sequence.

    Yes — Hurst Harbor, Volente Beach, Briarcliff, Lakeway, Vintage, and most private slips. Also Lake LBJ (Horseshoe Bay, Highland Lakes), Canyon Lake (Cypress Bend, Cranes Mill), and Possum Kingdom.

    A 23-27 ft bowrider takes 6-7 hours. A 28-33 ft cabin cruiser with full interior runs 8-10 hours, sometimes split across two days. We give you a real estimate after the walk-through.

    A 23-25 ft bowrider with cockpit and cabin starts at $400. A 28 ft Sundancer with head, galley, and bilge runs $700-900. A 33 ft Express with ozone treatment and bottom-paint coordination can run $1,000-1,200. We quote after the walk-through.
