Why choose Luxury Boat Detailing?
16 years on Tampa Bay
Luxury Boat Detailing has cared for West Central Florida vessels for over sixteen years — through every season, every sun-beaten summer and every hurricane haul-out.
The same crew, year after year
Our detailers have been with us 10 to 12 years and longer. You get trained hands who already know your boat, not a rotating cast of subcontractors.
A licensed captain runs the job
Captain Jim Hayek is a USCG Master Captain and a licensed Florida yacht broker. He knows what a surveyor sees, what a buyer notices and what actually protects your gelcoat.
We come to your slip
Fully mobile across Pasco, Pinellas and Hillsborough. Marina, dock, lift or driveway — you never move the boat for us.
Marine-grade products only
Commercial marine compounds, sealants and conditioners chosen for saltwater and Florida sun — never automotive shortcuts that flash off in a month.
100% satisfaction guarantee
If any area we detailed is not right, call within 24 hours and we come back and re-clean it at no additional charge.
Captain Jim Hayek, Passion Yacht Sales
A major advantage when hiring Captain Jim as your broker is that he normally knows about boats before they even hit the market. He gets his clients the highest return when selling and the best deals when buying, because he has extensive knowledge of what can be corrected and what to avoid.
Captain Jim and the Passion Yacht Sales team leverage sophisticated marketing tools and international connections that attract the most qualified luxury yacht buyers.
Selling your vessel
Professional listing photography, detailed spec sheets and placement on the major yacht marketplaces — backed by a boat prepped and detailed to show at its absolute best.
Finding your next boat
Captain Jim often knows about boats before they hit the market, straight from his detail clients. Off-market access means better boats and better pricing.
Honest condition assessment
Decades of hands-on gel coat, vinyl and brightwork experience means he can tell you what can be corrected, what is cosmetic and what should send you walking.
Through to closing
Pricing and valuation, sea trials, survey coordination, and referrals for financing, documentation and transport — handled so the deal closes cleanly.
Thinking of selling? A detailed boat shows better, surveys better and sells faster. Captain Jim can prep, list and market your vessel end to end — or help you find the right boat before it ever hits the open market.
