    Cruisers detailing in Spring Branch.

    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.

    Spring Branch owners with cruisers typically work out of Canyon Lake (15 minutes east). 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 Spring Branch

    Built for Spring Branch owners.

    Spring Branch is the Hill Country RV corridor — Buckhorn Lake Resort, Spring Branch RV Park, plus a dense network of private storage. Owners here are split between full-timer Class A pushers, snowbird 5th wheels, and weekenders towing to Canyon Lake fifteen minutes east. Some of our highest-RV-volume work happens in Spring Branch.

    Owner profile. Spring Branch sits between Bulverde and Canyon Lake — true Hill Country territory. Owners trend toward full-time and snowbird Class A diesel-pushers, larger 5th wheels at the RV resorts, and weekend boats at Canyon Lake.

    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 Spring Branch 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.

    Spring Branch questions

    What owners always ask.

    Yes — Canyon Lake (15 minutes east from Spring Branch) 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.
