Westport, Connecticut
Saugatuck River, Compo Beach, Long Island Sound
Westport marks the western end of our regular service area, about half an hour from Milford. We make the run regularly, and for larger jobs or several boats at one marina it is well worth the trip.
The town maintains its own marinas and there are waiting lists for in-water and dry stall assignments, so boats here tend to stay put once an owner has a spot. That continuity is good for detailing, because we can build a maintenance rhythm around a boat that lives in the same slip year after year.
A three-year ceramic coating, the service we most often recommend for berths like this. See the service →
Boats kept toward Compo and the mouth of the Saugatuck sit in more open water than the river yards upstream. More wind means more salt spray drying on the topsides, and salt left to bake in the sun is what dulls a finish fastest.
That exposure is exactly the case where ceramic coating earns its cost. A coated hull sheds salt far more readily and rinses clean with much less effort, which matters when the boat is getting doused on a breezy afternoon several times a week. For uncoated boats out here, a bi-weekly wash plan is usually the honest minimum.

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 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.

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!
