Every time you clean with abrasive cleaners, you may be rubbing away hundreds if not thousands of pounds of your boat's value. We can protect your investment with our unique advanced environmentally friendly non abrasive cleaning programme.

Whether a sailing yacht, powerboat or motor cruiser, every type of fibreglass boat is vulnerable to unsightly staining. As an owner you want your valued asset to constantly look in pristine condition.

Apart from the unsightly visual effect, this staining can obviously reduce the value of your boat. Unlike the products we use, some cleaning agents contain abrasives that may damage the gelcoat each and every time they are used. This can ultimately lead to the need for the boat to be repainted which will greatly reduce the re-sale value.

Protect your boat and restore the shine with Orca Boat Cleaning Services.
