Palmetto Marine Restorations exceeded my expectations. Craig McCully did an outstanding job bringing the blue color on my 2010 Sea Hunt 207 back to life! It was dull, cloudy, and chalky. His clear coat process brought out a deep blue color that I didn't know existed. We are thrilled with the final results. He even got our white seat cushions white again!
Such an improvement. Worth every penny!
I highly recommend Craig McCully and Palmetto Marine Restorations

Highly recommend! Craig did an excellent job detailing and waxing my boat. He is very knowledgable, professional and responsive. Very easy to work with and his prices are fair compared to several other companies I spoke with. I will definitely be using him for all future detailing or repair needs.

Craig was super responsive, prompt, and did an excellent job detailing and ceramic coating my 24 ft CC boat. He stayed in touch and has followed up with me to address one minor remaining item.

I have a 2009 Grady White 192. It's been well maintained by me, but I decided to try Ian's service and had the boat detailed in and out. Not only did Ian do as I asked, he also cleaned up the trailer, spending about 5 hours altogether on the job. I'd use Ian's service again.

They did a full detail on our 20 foot Nautic Star boat, and it was a perfect experience. Not only were they prompt and professional, they were exceptionally polite, dependable, and reasonably priced, taking pride in their work to offer us a spectacular finished product. We will recommend them to everyone!

Ian did a great job detailing the inside and outside of my boat as well as ceramic sealing it. He brought back the original blue color so it looks like it just came off the showroom! 100% satisfied!

Price was more than competitive and reasonable. The courtesy during my initial call all the way to completion was impeccable!! That in itself made all the difference to me! Speaking with someone who is legitimately nice and friendly is rare these days. Ian immediately made me feel comfortable and confident that the job would be done right! 100% recommend to any and all that need detailing work done!

Ian did a fabulous job reconditioning the hull of our 2005 motor boat. The boat looks like it came right out of the show room. Ian is meticulous and detail-oriented. Would highly recommend!

I used this company to get some oyster rash and gouging taken care of on my boat. I was in a pretty tight time frame bc of an upcoming trip. Craig and his team were the perfect fit! Professional work, efficiency, communication and all at a fair price. What more could you want?!? I will be using these guys in the future for all of my fiberglass/gel coat repair needs as well as car detailing.

Craig did a excellent job detailing and repairing a fiberglass issues I had on my boat. I will be using him again, and I would be referring him to my friends who also have boats. He was easy to work with on what I wanted and on settling on a fair price.

Paint correction is the process of removing minor to heavy scratches (if you can physically feel it, it might require repairing) and other defects like holograms, buffing swirls, and sanding marks to result in a perfect mirror finish!
How often should a boat be waxed?
If your boat is kept outside in the elements during the boating season, then we recommend a waxing be completed every 4-6 months to keep it in immaculate shape year round!
What soap should be used to maintain the wax/sealant?
We recommend any PH neutral soap to to wash your boat/car after it has been waxed, most other soaps like dawn WILL strip the wax and any sealants off, leaving the surface unprotected.
