Built for mobile boat detailers and marina shops alike: set your packages per foot by boat type, add your prices and add-ons, and watch a clean, professional service menu build itself — then download it as a PDF or PNG, free, right in your browser.
Boat detailing is priced per foot by service tier: in 2026, a basic wash & dry runs $8–$25/ft, an exterior wash & wax $12–$30/ft, an interior detail $10–$25/ft, and a full detail $20–$45/ft — so a 24-foot boat lands roughly $290–$1,080 depending on the package and the boat’s condition. Heavy lifts are billed as per-foot add-ons: oxidation removal and compounding ($20–$70/ft) and ceramic coating ($50–$125/ft). The free template below builds your menu in that exact per-foot structure with columns for runabouts and larger cruisers, and QuoteIQ’s field service software turns the same menu into online self-service quotes customers book themselves. Plans start at $29.99/mo.

Nice menu
A PDF price list wins the job when you hand it over. QuoteIQ puts the same menu online with customer self-quoting — owners pick a package, get a price for their boat’s length, and book — while you’re still buffing the last hull.
Book a Free Demo Start Free TrialBoat detailing is priced per foot, not per job — a 19-foot bowrider and a 38-foot cruiser are different animals, and your menu should bill on length-overall (LOA). The 2026 U.S. market ranges below are per-foot rates boat owners are actually paying; where you land inside each band depends on boat type, hull condition, and how many correction stages the gelcoat needs. The seeds in the template above sit right inside these bands. Use them to sanity-check your own numbers — and build every price from your actual costs (labor hours, products, haul-out or travel time, overhead), not just the yard across the marina.
| Service (per foot) | Runabout | Cruiser / Pontoon | Offshore / Yacht |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wash & dry | $8 – $14 | $10 – $18 | $14 – $25 |
| Exterior wash & wax | $12 – $20 | $16 – $26 | $20 – $30 |
| Interior detail | $10 – $18 | $14 – $22 | $18 – $25 |
| Full detail (interior + exterior) | $20 – $34 | $28 – $40 | $34 – $45 |
| Oxidation removal / compound (add-on) | $20 – $70 / ft | ||
| Ceramic coating (add-on) | $50 – $125 / ft | ||
| Vinyl & upholstery shampoo + UV (add-on) | $6 – $18 / ft | ||
| Metal & stainless polish (add-on) | $5 – $15 / ft | ||
| Hull / bottom cleaning (add-on) | $3 – $12 / ft | ||
Oxidation is the silent margin killer. A garage-kept hull and a chalked, mildew-streaked one are not the same job — per-foot wash pricing that ignores correction stages will bury you on the boats that take the most hours. Quote oxidation removal and compounding as a separate per-foot, per-stage add-on, and put a condition-surcharge policy in your fine print (the template has a spot for it) so the heavy lifts pay for the time they take.
Mobile and dockside detailers should price the convenience, not apologize for it: on-site service typically runs 10–20% above drop-off yard prices, or builds travel into the package with a stated service radius and a fee beyond it. As a gut check, a standard wash & wax on a 24-foot boat lands roughly $290–$625 in 2026, and a full detail $480–$960 — squarely in market when your menu looks like the professional document this template produces.
The menu you hand a boat owner does the selling before you say a word. Three rules make it convert: lead with a premium package so the middle option feels reasonable (most owners buy the middle), keep package names plain enough that a customer knows what they’re getting without asking, and present add-ons as upgrades with their own per-foot prices — bundled-and-vague totals get haggled, clear line items get accepted.
Per-foot, by-type columns do the awkward work for you: nobody argues that a 32-foot cruiser costs more than a 17-foot bowrider when the rate is printed on the menu. And the fine-print block is where margins live — condition surcharges for oxidation and mildew, your service radius, and deposit policy stated up front turn “that’s more than you said” conversations into jobs that pay correctly.
The PDF wins the handshake; the system wins the season. Inside QuoteIQ, this same menu becomes a self-service quoting page where owners pick a package, get the price for their boat’s length, and book — then the job lands on your schedule, the invoice sends itself when you’re done, and Review Multiplier asks for the Google review while the gelcoat’s still gleaming. Track real margin per job with Job Costing and let the AI Estimator draft the first number.

QuoteIQ puts this menu online where owners quote and book their own boat by length, then runs the schedule, the invoice, and the review request — without leaving QuoteIQ. Plans start at $29.99/mo.

Verified App Store ReviewBoat detailing is priced per foot in 2026: a wash & dry runs $8–$25/ft, an exterior wash & wax $12–$30/ft, an interior detail $10–$25/ft, and a full detail $20–$45/ft, scaling with boat type. On a 24-foot boat that’s roughly $290–$625 for a wash & wax and $480–$960 for a full detail. Heavy work bills separately by the foot: oxidation removal and compounding $20–$70/ft and ceramic coating $50–$125/ft. Hull condition moves every number — chalky gelcoat and mildew add real hours. The rate table above breaks it down by boat type.
Price from your costs up, not from competitors down: add your labor hours, products, haul-out or travel time, and overhead per job, set your margin, then sanity-check against the 2026 per-foot bands — wash & wax $12–$30/ft, full detail $20–$45/ft. Bill on length-overall (the model nearly every profitable marine detailer uses), charge oxidation correction by the foot and the stage, and state a condition-surcharge policy in writing. Build it in the free template above, then track real margin per job with QuoteIQ Job Costing so the menu stays profitable, not just competitive.
Six things: your business name and contact info, three to five clearly named packages (wash & dry, exterior wash & wax, interior detail, full detail), per-foot prices by boat type (runabout / cruiser-pontoon / offshore-yacht columns), an add-ons section with individual per-foot prices (oxidation removal, ceramic coating, vinyl shampoo, metal polish, bottom cleaning), your fine print (service radius, condition surcharges, deposits, how LOA is measured), and an effective date so old menus don’t haunt you. Keep package descriptions to one line each. The template above produces exactly this structure as a clean, branded document.
Oxidation removal is priced per foot and per stage: budget $20–$70/ft in 2026 depending on how chalked the gelcoat is and how many correction steps it needs. A light single-stage polish on a runabout sits near the bottom of that range; a three-stage compound-and-polish on a heavily oxidized offshore hull pushes the top. Price it as its own per-foot add-on rather than burying it in a wash package — it’s the single most labor-intensive line on most marine jobs, and the fastest way to lose money is to quote it like a wax. The template gives oxidation removal its own add-on line for this reason.
Marine ceramic coating runs $50–$125/ft in 2026, and on a 25-foot boat that’s roughly $1,250–$3,100+ as an add-on. The spread is all about prep: a coating over fresh gelcoat sits at the low end, while one that needs oxidation removal and multi-stage correction first lands at the top. On a price list, ceramic works best as its own per-foot add-on or a “quoted on condition” line with a starting rate, since the prep hours drive the price. Pair it with your oxidation-removal line so the quote reflects the real work the hull needs.
The standard structure is good-better-best, priced per foot: a wash & dry that gets the price-shopper in the door, a mid-tier wash & wax or interior detail, and a full-detail flagship — each across runabout / cruiser / offshore columns. Most owners buy the middle option, so the premium package’s real job is making the middle look reasonable. Keep it to three to five packages; menus with ten options stall the sale. Add-ons (oxidation removal, ceramic coating, vinyl shampoo, metal polish, bottom cleaning) ride along as per-foot upsells, raising average ticket without complicating the core menu. The template above is pre-seeded with this exact structure — just swap in your rates.
