Connecticut's trusted marine detailing specialists, keeping boats looking their absolute best on the water.
Meet the founder
Hello, my name is Matthew Ludden.
I always admired the beauty these vessels can capture. Now I am the one making them glow.
Welcome to MBD Marine Care. I have been detailing professionally for over half a decade, and before that, car detailing was a big hobby of mine. Ever since, I have been meeting wonderful people, learning new techniques, and perfecting my craft.
I am grateful to have learned from some great boat detailing mentors who gave me a chance to show how devoted and hard-working I am about learning all I can in this field. Growing up in Milford, CT, living down the street from the beach and around the corner from the Housatonic River most of my life, I would always see the various boats coming in and out and watch in awe as they glimmered across the water.
For over half a decade, MBD Marine Care has been dedicated to one mission: keeping boats looking their absolute best on the water. What started as a passion for restoring and protecting vessels along the Connecticut shoreline has grown into a trusted mobile marine detailing company serving boat owners, marinas, and yacht brokers across the region.
Today we are known for delivering consistent, high-quality results with a focus on professionalism, reliability, and long-lasting protection for every boat we touch. Most of our business comes from repeat clients, referrals, marinas, and boat brokers who trust us to prepare and maintain vessels to a professional standard. That trust is something we take seriously, and it continues to drive everything we do.
