Topwater Marine Detailing is a hands-on, family-run detailing company serving boat and vehicle owners across Tampa Bay and the surrounding Gulf Coast — from local marinas and private docks to driveways across the region. For 15+ years we’ve brought marina-grade care straight to wherever our clients keep their vessel or vehicle.
From hull and exterior detailing to teak and deck restoration, ceramic coating, and full interior care — for boats and vehicles alike — our team treats every job with the same meticulous, white-glove standard we’d want for our own.
Topwater Marine Detailing started with one simple idea: your boat deserves the same care you’d give it yourself. What began as a one-man operation has grown into a dedicated team that lives and breathes marine detailing — technicians who know Florida’s saltwater, sun, and storms, and exactly what it takes to keep a hull, deck, or interior looking its best.
For more than 15 years, that hands-on approach hasn’t changed. Every boat that comes through gets treated like it’s our own.

On the job
Every detail counts
Arlo started Topwater Marine Detailing more than 15 years ago with a simple idea: treat every boat the way you would want your own treated. What began as weekend work on friends’ boats around the marina grew into a full detailing operation built on the same hands-on care he started with. He still shows up to jobs himself, because quality control means being there.
“We don’t just clean vessels—we protect what matters most to those who live life on the water.”
— Arlo, Founder & Owner
