We are not affiliated with E.R. Strait Marina. We are an independent mobile detailer that services boats kept there.
E.R. Strait Marina is one of two marinas the Town of Westport maintains, located within Longshore Club Park. Like the town's other facility, it runs on assignments with a waiting list for both in-water and dry stall spaces, and there is an escrow payment for in-water spots.
The season here runs from around May through November, with reduced or no service in the late fall.
Because assignments are hard to come by and people hold onto them, Longshore boats tend to stay in the same spot year after year. That continuity is ideal for detailing. We can build a maintenance rhythm around a boat rather than starting from scratch each season, and a boat on a wash plan here holds its gloss for years.
Dry stall boats are a different job from slipped ones, and usually a better one. No growth below the waterline, and far better access to the hull sides than we get alongside a dock. If your boat is on the rack, say so when you call and we will plan the work accordingly.
Services
Every service, priced by the foot.
The same packages we run across the shoreline. Restoration and seasonal work is quoted after a look at the boat.
Matt was a pleasure to work with and did a great job detailing my 24' Grady White. Matt made himself super available to see the boat, get me a quote and get the job done

Matt and team compounded and waxed my boat today....very pleased with the outcome. They were very meticulous , and ensured the entire site and boat stayed clean. Recommend them to anyone looking to have their vessel detailed.

Matt of Matt's Boat Detailing (MBD) is the real deal. He cleaned up a mess that a different detailer made. With Phase I complete, my boat looks great! I am so happy I finally got to use his services. He is a hands on owner operator which I think is very important. He took the time to visit and advise as well as inspect the final work making adjustments as necessary. He knows what he is doing and he and his crew even properly prepped to protect neighboring surfaces, which most boat detailers are too lazy to do. I am looking forward to him completing Phase II and using his services moving forward! I will be recommending him to everyone I know that is looking for boat detailing services.

Matt and his team did a phenomenal job bringing our 2004 Tiara gel coat back to life! This included a wet sand and finished with a ceramic coat. The boat shines and is now protected like never before!

My Experience with Matt's details was truly top notch! First off I called him very late in the spring and he came up with a way to get my Hull done to follow up with the super structure once in the water. This year I opted to go with not only a compound and seal but also went down the ceramic coating route in hopes of getting an extra year out of the job. First off his pricing is very competitive compared to few others I checked. Matts work was amazing and the boat looks brand new! Lastly, his communication was spot on. As with any spring/early summer project in New England, we had plenty of weather related issues. He kept me posted every step of the way, touched base with any reschedules, let me know when he got there, and lastly when he left. I could not be more pleased with my decision to use Matts Detailing and will be a return customer for sure next year to “touch up”. I highly recommend reaching out to Matt for any detailing work!
