HarborGuard provides boat cleaning services for owners who want the whole vessel looking better, running cleaner, and staying easier to maintain. This page groups the main cleaning paths together: exterior detailing, interior detailing, and underwater hull cleaning. Each boat is different, so estimates are based on the boat's size, current condition, marina access, and the cleaning scope you want completed.
We serve Victoria, Nanaimo, Vancouver, and the Lower Mainland with practical scheduling for marina-based boats. Owners often bundle detailing and underwater maintenance before a trip, survey, sale, haulout, or busy cruising season. If the boat needs below-waterline work, our divers can clean the hull and running gear, check zincs, polish props, and document the condition with photos.
Cleaning for visible exterior surfaces so the boat presents well at the dock, before a trip, or ahead of a sale or survey.

Learn more about hull cleaningBook boat cleaning when the boat is preparing for regular use, needs to present well, has been sitting through a high-growth period, or is getting ready for a sale, survey, trip, race, or haulout. For below-waterline cleaning, signs include lost speed, higher fuel burn, vibration, overheating symptoms, or visible growth around the waterline and running gear.
Is this the same as boat detailing?
Boat cleaning is the broader category. Detailing usually refers to exterior and interior presentation, while hull cleaning is the underwater maintenance side.
Can hull cleaning be done while the boat stays in the water?
Yes. Our divers clean, inspect, and document the underwater surfaces without requiring a haulout for routine maintenance.
What details should I send for an estimate?
Share boat length, marina, slip or access notes, whether you need exterior detailing, interior detailing, hull cleaning, or a bundled scope, plus any performance or cooling symptoms.
