"I had an amazing experience with Top Water Marine Detailing, specifically with Arlo. He detailed three of my vessels — a 40-foot Mainship, a 25-foot Pro-Line, and a 30-foot Winnebago — and every job was expertly done.There were many instances where I didn't think something would come clean, but Arlo and his crew pulled it off. The Mainship really stood out: I'd been told the gel coat had failed and couldn't be saved without re-gel coating, repainting, or wrapping it — Arlo brought it back to life and restored it to great condition.He was punctual, easy to work with, and his guys were excellent. A few small areas needed attention after the job, and when I mentioned it, Arlo came back and made it right without hesitation.He isn't inexpensive, but he provides a top quality service, and he's now doing ongoing maintenance on all three of these assets. Highly recommend."

These guys haves detailed my boat every 3-4 months (it lives uncovered on a lift) for the past 2-3 years to keep it tip top. Boat always looks amazing including every nook and cranny in every compartment.

Topwater did an incredible job restoring the gel coat on my boat. Just check out the before & after photos! I was honestly very skeptical about all the ads I saw claiming they could make your boat look like new, but I anm extremely impressed with the finished product. Arlo really delivered and he offered me a fair price too. 10/10 would recommend Topwater Marine Detailing for your boat cleaning and restoration needs!

These guys went above and beyond, cleaned out every compartment, got out rust stains that I tried many times to remove. The shine both inside and out was amazing.

Arlo and team are awesome look no further

Arlo and team are awesome and very reasonable look no further

Arlo, I’m sending accolades for your attention to detail and tenacity in ensuring your clients are satisfied. The boat looks fabulous. You said my 1995 Carver 440 Aft Cabin will look 20 years younger. Promises made. Promises kept! I wish you continued success with your business. Great job!

Topwater Marine Detailing absolutely crushed it!! Kyle and Kurt did such a phenomenal job on my boat it honestly looks better than when I first got it!The level of detail they put into everything is unreal. They didn’t just hit the obvious spots, they went after all the little areas most people would miss. The finish is deep, glossy, and flawless. You can tell these guys actually care about their work and take pride in it.They were professional, on time, and communicated throughout the whole process. No shortcuts, no rushed work, just straight quality.If you want your boat to look next level, these are the guys to call. Highly recommend Topwater!

Topwater Marine Detailing exceeded all expectations. Arlo, Kyle, and Kurt are an absolute powerhouse team.From start to finish, Arlo was professional, knowledgeable, and made the whole process seamless. You can tell he runs a tight operation and genuinely cares about delivering top-tier results. Kyle and Kurt absolutely nailed it with incredible attention to detail. Every inch of the boat was dialed in.What really stood out was the level of thoroughness. They even sent photos of the boat on the lift raised all the way up, showing everything done right, with the cover perfectly installed. These guys don’t miss a thing.The shine, the finish, the small details most companies overlook… everything was handled flawlessly. If you want your boat looking better than new, Topwater is the real deal. I’ll definitely be using them again.

One of the best decisions I’ve made for my boat was going with Topwater Marine Detailing! Arlo, Kyle, and Kurt run an incredible operation and truly care about the end result.After my initial detail, they got me set up with a weekly washdown plan, and I haven’t had to clean my boat once since. It’s always spotless and ready to go, which takes a huge weight off my shoulders.The quality of their work is top-tier, and their consistency is just as impressive. If you want your boat looking perfect all the time without the hassle, Topwater is the way to go!

Arlo and the crew at Topwater Marine absolutely worked a miracle on my 24’ Cobia. The boat had its fair share of wear, but they brought it back to life in a way I didn’t think was possible. The hull finish is incredibly smooth, the lines are crisp, and every detail was handled with precision. You can see the level of care in every inch—they didn’t just clean it up, they transformed it. If you’re looking for a team that takes pride in doing things the right way and delivers results that exceed expectations, Topwater Marine is it.

I never post reviews but felt this experience warranted the effort to write this.This review is to solely educate those on my experience with this business. One bad experience doesn’t mean that is what everybody will experience. This review is not written with ill-intention whatsoever.Charged $1,500 for a detail on a 21 Hewes. I’m more than happy to pay a premium price for a premium product/job. However, this was not the case. Took a chunk out of my brand new seadek while wet sanding and went through the gel coat causing a hairline crack on a recently repaired area. (Yes wet sanding can do this when the disk is angled in a particular direction). Proceeded to tell me it’s only cosmetic and I have to pay for it. Did not detail trailer as agreed, left rust spots everywhere and told me those won’t come out. Proceeded to show him (the professional) how to remove rust stains with minimal effort. He still did not do it. Very mediocre job. Most areas on the boat looked as if he wiped it with a wet dirty rag and called it a day.Did attempt to come back and make it right, but once again proved incapable. The hull and fenders are the only clean and shiny part of the boat and look great, but not worth $1,500!!Would say he did try to do the right thing regarding the detail, but did not agree to pay for the damage he caused.He gave a heavy discount which is appreciated. So I respect that.I’m sure he’s done a great job for other customers and this was probably a one-off situation. A very very disappointing situationHappy to share all the pics to back up my complaint.1st picture is the before. Hull and trailer was already shiny. I’m anticipating a reply from him on this with pictures of the job. Not hard to make a shiny boat shiny.Last picture is the estimate with the services to be completed. Did not happen.More pics available upon request. Won’t allow me to post all picsEvery other picture is everything missed. This is not the definition of a detail and in no way shape or form reflects the price point of $1,500

Arlo and his colleague were incredibly professional, responsive to my questions, and worked diligently on my boat. Price was very fair. My boat needed some TLC and the transformation was what I hoped for. Highly recommend!

2025-03-28T01:05:58.386Z

Great Experience. A+++ Service. Quick Response to emails and texts. Scheduled quickly. The final result was amazing. Great job. Had a small warranty punch item to fix on transom. Came back same day without any issues. Will use there service again!!

2025-03-26T13:56:08.451Z

Arlo did an amazing job deep-cleaning, refinishing teak, polishing chrome, and making my boat look better than the day I bought it! He also had a super fast turnaround, even though he went above-and-beyond with extra services. I highly recommend Topwater Marine Detailing and will be using their services on a regular basis going forward.

2025-03-24T06:47:17.226Z

I had to get my truck nice and purdy for date night, and Arlo did an incredible job. The exterior and interior detailing was immaculate. He got all the door jams and put a nice ceramic finish that is still looking good 2 months later. Thank you so much, let's just say date night went well!

2024-11-15T23:09:50.000Z

My boat was in pretty rough shape . Arlo' brought it back to life looks brand new spent two days detailing my boat and he has reasonable pricing.

2024-02-11T02:17:58.363Z

I asked Arlo to detail my new boat, mainly to protect it from the sun. Surprisingly, he made a brand new boat sparkle much brighter even though it just came from the showroom. Will use Arlo again and highly recommend his services.

Exceptional service. Arlo went above and beyond to make my boat look brand new. The attention to detail is unmatched.

2023-11-27T01:20:41.611Z

Topwater Marine Detailing did a beautiful job cleaning my deck following four months on the hard in the yard. He then followed up with cleaning and polishing the hull. Our 2006 J/42 looks like new. I highly recommend Topwater Marine Detailing, great work, completed the jobs on the agreed schedule, and we are completely satisfied.

2023-11-22T18:29:31.902Z

Quality service at a fair price. Teak work looks great. They only use high quality sealer and not the bargain junk.I recommend then for all levels of cleaning and sealing and detailing.

2023-11-13T13:36:02.590Z

Arlo’s team did a great job restoring the finish on our boat. The gel coat and bright work look like new. Highly recommend this company!

I recently had the pleasure of using Topwater detailing for a full car detailing, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional.The team at Topwater detailing demonstrated a high level of professionalism and attention to detail. They carefully explained the services they would be performing and even took the time to address any specific concerns I had about my vehicle.The detailing itself was nothing short of impressive. My car looked brand new, both inside and out. The exterior had a flawless shine, and the interior was spotless, with every nook and cranny meticulously cleaned. It felt like I was driving a completely different car.What truly stood out, though, was the customer service. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure I was satisfied with the results. They even offered maintenance tips to keep my car looking its best between detailing sessions.

2023-05-12T02:26:06.314Z

They took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and made recommendations based on their expertise. Their attention to detail was impressive and they made sure every nook and cranny of my boat was thoroughly cleaned and polished.

2023-05-11T03:23:24.505Z

Recently had Topwater detail my boat and they did a fantastic job with it! They were on time and were very professional! Highly recommend!

2023-05-11T02:31:23.967Z

Topwater marine detailing has done such an impressive job, and they were so friendly but professional. They pay attention to even the smallest details and I can tell they are passionate about their work. I recommend this detailing service for all my boats.

Arlo did a wonderful job getting my boat ceramic coated, just in time for the boating season! He was on time, professional and applied one of the shiniest coatings I have ever seen. He made my boat look brand new! I highly recommend You give him a call to get your boat ready for the season.
