Sailboats detailing in Canyon Lake.
Sailboat hull, deck, and interior detailing for mast-down or trailered boats — Catalina, Beneteau, Hunter, Hobie.
Canyon Lake owners with sailboats typically work out of Canyon Lake (at the lake). 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.
Service specs · Canyon Lake
Built for Canyon Lake owners.
Canyon Lake is where we spend most of our boat-detail days. Slip rentals at Cypress Bend, Mountain Springs, and Cranes Mill, plus the dense network of lakeside RV resorts (Yogi Bear's, Hidden Valley, Sandy Beach, Hill Country Retreat) means we're at the lake almost daily April through October.
Owner profile. Lakeside cabins and homes, weekend warriors with bass and pontoon boats at the slip, snowbird Class A and 5th-wheel owners at the resort, and a small but committed sailboat community.
Sailboats are different. They have rigging that wraps around the boat in ways powerboats don't. They have hatches with acrylic covers that craze if you wipe them wrong. Older boats have teak decks that need oil, not polish. Standing rigging is stainless wire under tension — clean it carefully and check the swages while you're there. Boats hauled for annual yard work get a full bottom inspection while they're out of the water. We don't climb masts and we don't service step-up keels — but everything from the deck down to the bottom paint, plus the cabin interior, we handle with the same respect we'd give a high-performance aircraft.

Sailboats protocol — Canyon Lake edition.
Pre-detail discussion with the owner about scope, rig items to avoid, hatch condition, teak condition, and bottom-paint status.
Pressure rinse the hull, deck, cockpit, and rigging from a safe distance — avoiding direct spray on any electronics, instruments, or owner-flagged areas.
Hand-wash hull and topsides with non-stripping marine soap; gelcoat polish above the waterline with a DA polisher.
Hatches and side ports cleaned with Plexus or PlastX only — never glass cleaner. Acrylic crazing inspected and flagged.
Standing rigging: stainless wire and swages wiped down with stainless polish. Any corrosion at swages flagged for the owner's rigger.
Teak deck (if present): cleaning with two-part teak cleaner if needed, followed by teak oil. We never oil a deck without proper cleaning first.
Cabin: vacuum, headliner spot clean, teak interior conditioner, cushion fabric clean, head deep clean and deodorize.
Galley interior, fridge, sink drains, countertops, and storage hatches wiped and sanitized.
Bilge wash, standing water dry, leak source notes for owner. Lifelines and stanchion bases polished.
If hauled out: bottom-paint inspection, zinc check, prop and shaft polish, rudder and keel survey notes.
What's included.
What owners always ask.
Yes — Canyon Lake (at the lake from Canyon Lake) is one of our core service areas for sailboats. 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.
No. We work the hull, deck, hatches, standing rigging from the deck level, and the entire interior — but we don't go up the mast. Anything above the spreaders is a rigger's job. We'll coordinate with your rigger if there's adjacent work to be done.
Sailboat hatches are mostly acrylic (sometimes Lexan/polycarbonate). Standard glass cleaners — Windex, Glass Plus, anything with ammonia — craze the surface on contact, creating tiny cracks that catch sunlight. We use Plexus or PlastX exclusively, which is what aircraft manufacturers recommend for similar plastics.
Yes. We use a two-part teak cleaner first to remove old oil and gray weathering, then apply Semco or equivalent teak finish. We never oil a deck without cleaning it first — that just locks the gray in. Full deck refinish can take 2-3 visits depending on condition.
Yes — yard haul-out is one of the best times for a full sailboat detail. We coordinate with the yard schedule, work around their painting or surveying, and finish before the boat goes back in. Bottom paint inspection, hull polish, prop and shaft polish, zinc check all happen during the haul.
Yes — both, every time. Marine heads need a pump-out coordination and a full deep clean with marine-safe sanitizer. Galleys (fridge, sink, microwave, countertops) get a complete food-safe sanitization. We've cleaned 30-year-old heads back to fresh.
A Catalina 22 trailerable detail starts at $400. A 30-35 ft slip-kept cruiser with cabin runs $700-1,100. A 40+ ft Beneteau or Hunter with full interior, teak refresh, and haul-out work can run $1,200-1,500. Quote after walk-through.
Park it. We'll handle it.
Same care, every job. We come to your Canyon Lake driveway, dock, hangar, or storage site.
