Boat Detailing Services

From GoldKey, the gold standard in boat service

Whether you are taking your motorboat out to the Delta, Folsom Lake, Lake Tahoe, or any other boating area in Northern California, you want your watercraft to look shiny and clean for you, and your family, and your friends.

At GoldKey Marine in El Dorado Hills, we have over a decade of experience making boats look their best for our customers.

Getting your boat professionally detailed with high-quality products will not only enhance your boat’s appearance but will help protect the value of your boat.

Polishing and waxing your boat's hull at least twice a year provides long-lasting protection against the elements' harmful effects—including the California sun's persistent ultraviolet rays.

Whether you bought your boat recently or many years ago, it may be due for a complete cleaning job. Our team of detailers is ready to help you take care of your investment.
