EXTERIOR SERVICES

Professional team detailing the exterior of a luxury yacht.

Double Coat Wax

Protect your investment. Our double coat wax service protects your boat’s finish and surfaces. We start with a coat of premium cleaner wax, followed by a coat of premium paste polish. We then move into the cockpit, all vinyl is cleaned and dressed, hatches lifted and cleaned, exterior glass is cleaned, exterior carpets are lifted and vacuumed, isinglass is wiped down, and stainless and chrome are polished. To keep your boat in tiptop shape we do recommend this service be performed in the Spring, Summer, and Fall.

Wash Maintenance

Once your boat has been waxed you will want to keep it looking its best. This can be accomplished by signing up for our wash maintenance service. We offer this service two ways, weekly and bi-weekly. This is a reoccurring scheduled service that appears on your crew leader’s schedule each week or every other week dependant upon which option you select. Our wash maintenance service includes a wash and chamois or your boat as well as a cockpit detail, which includes exterior glass cleaning, vinyl seats cleaned and dressed, exterior carpet vacuuming, hatches lifted and cleaned, and stainless and chrome wiped clean. Keep your boat looking good as new with our DOUBLE COAT WAX service.

Teak Refinishing Maintenance

Striping

Vinyl boot stripes and pinstripes are subject to UV, saltwater, and abrasion damage just to name a few. A scraped up, faded, or chipped stripe will unfortunately adversely affect the appearance of your boat. We are happy to, and have the ability to, help you resolve this problem by replacing your striping. We will come to your boat, remove the old stripes and replace with brand new. This is the perfect way to update your older color scheme. And give your boat that extra sheen and protection with our DOUBLE COAT WAX.

Isinglass Treatments

Don’t forget your isinglass. Our isinglass treatment will help preserve your isinglass, remove fine scratching, and remove yellowing thus making it easier to navigate your boat while improving the appearance. We have products safe for use on isinglass, strata glass, EZ2CY, and all other types of clear marine plastics. This service is also recommended three times during the season, just set it up with your WAX DETAIL schedule.

INTERIOR SERVICES

Interior Detailing & Maintenance

You probably spend a great deal of time in your boat’s cabin, let us make that a pleasant place to be. We offer interior cleaning in two levels, Interior General and Interior Detail. Our general cleaning is just that—we’ll wipe down your sinks and countertops, vacuum all carpets, clean glass and mirrors, clean the head, and wax the shower. Step up to interior detailing and receive the same service as the general, plus cleaning inside all cabinets and drawers, inside the microwave, inside of the oven, inside of the refrigerator, and every last mini blind. And get your floors super clean with our CARPET/UPHOLSTERY STEAM CLEANING.

Seasonal Maintenance

There are many benefits to setting up seasonal maintenance for your boat or yacht. Rather than wait until you discover a problem, you can curb the problem from happening in the first place. You’ll also receive the added benefits of discounted pricing, owing only one easy monthly payment, getting your boat’s services completed on time, constant surveillance of your boat, a higher resale value, and always having it clean…because you never know when the weather is going to be prime for going boating with friends or family.

Bilge & Engine Room Clean-up

The dirtiest part of your boat no longer has to be that way. Your bilge and engine room is where most odors originate. Oil and fuel collect at the bottom. Stagnant water and any leaks from the head sit down there as well. Our crew will come in, remove any standing liquid, clean, and degrease all surfaces. Add a treatment for odor control to that and you will have a clean fresh bilge. ODMO works by encapsulating the source of the odor thus breaking it down leaving no odor behind. This service can be scheduled at any time, though we suggest it be set up with your WAXING or INTERIOR DETAILING.

Duct Cleaning

Ductwork can house a multitude of allergens, mold, mildew, and harmful bacteria or viruses that can infect the air you breath, creating an unhealthy environment. We utilize a Hepa filtered vacuum at one end of the duct that uses high pressure compressed air to break up the dust and contaminants, forcing them into the Hepa vacuum and preventing any of the dust and contaminants from entering your boat’s cabin. After the ducts are cleaned, move onto cleaning the coils, filters, and drip pan. All of your vents are then washed by hand, leaving you with a sparkling clean HVAC system. Looking for unbeatable air quality aboard your boat?

Carpet/Upholstery Steam Cleaning

Mattress & Life Jacket Sanitizing

What you cannot see can be harmful. Over time your mattresses become full of dead skin cells and dust mites. Our Mattress Sanitizing service removes these impurities and allergens. We’ll start by using a high power vacuum that actually draws the skin cells and dust mites out as deep as six inches. The next step is sanitization, which uses a specifically designed Ultraviolet roller. The entire surface area is sanitized and an anti allergen spray is applied to complete the service. If purchasing a used boat this service should definitely not be overlooked.

Solutions for Odor Removal

Boats are notorious for odors and they can come from many sources. Not only do they make your stay unpleasant (and often embarrassing with guests), but they also be harmful to your health. While you may think you know where they are originating, you may be surprised at some of the sources. We know where to look. We will come to you, inspect your boat from the bilge up, and develop a plan to clean up the odors by addressing the source—not just masking it. And you can feel good knowing our solution won’t create more problems. By utilizing only safe, “green” products and technology your odors are eliminated without harmful off gassing from toxic cleaning agents.

BOAT SHRINK-WRAPPING

Shrink-wrapping Services

Shrink-wrapping your boat in the off-season is the best way to protect it from the harsh winter weather. We start by setting up a support structure, then we pull the wrap onto the boat, strap it all down, and apply heat to allow it to shrink down for a nice snug weatherproof fit. Vents are installed to provide air movement thus reducing moisture on the boat. We offer access doors to allow entry into the boat should the need arise. Shrink wrapping can be done wherever your boat is stored be it in the water, on land, on a trailer, or on a lift. We monitor the integrity of our wrap monthly and we also offer an optional removal and disposal service in the spring. Before or after hibernation for the winter, you should also consider our INTERIOR DETAILING & MAINTENANCE service.

REPAIRS & INSURANCE CLAIMS

Insurance

When the unthinkable occurs, whether an accident or a sunk boat, we already have established relationships with the top boat insurers. Because of the protocols already in place, we can mobilize quickly to minimize water damage to the boat and its contents. Our Team can remove and clean personal items whether or not the boat is salvageable so your memories are not lost. In the case of damage from impact, we can work with insurers to quickly obtain approvals for necessary repairs and help you get your boat back to normal with as little down time as possible.

Drying

Teak and Wood Repair

It’s all in the details. That’s why you chose your boat. But often storms, leaks, mishaps, or even defects can detract from your boat’s beauty. Our master craftsmen can make small repairs like replacing damaged rails or completely re-veneer a yacht’s interior due to defects caused by sun and moisture. Damage to wood is not unique to old boats. New boats also face similar problems resulting from rushed production and an improper cure or finish job. We can also modify or change your WOOD if you simply want an updated look.

Canvas Repair

Vinyl/Leather Repair

Damage to vinyl and leather is inevitable with normal wear and tear. But if ignored, exterior holes will allow water to infiltrate the entire area—resulting in a wet and often odorous mess. Schuman can repair these tears, holes, burns, and stains with amazing color and texture-matching ability. This process is much more affordable than getting a replacement, and it works for both vinyl and leather. Our technician is highly trained and skilled in repairs and has years of experience. Once he has completed the work, the area will not appear ‘patched’ at all. In fact, even you will have a tough time finding the original mishap. And give your boat that extra sheen and protection with our DOUBLE COAT WAX.

Testimonials

Herman and the guys did a great wash & wax on our trawler Bounty. We really appreciate Schumann supporting our charity auction for EYC Foundation and will be back next year as regular customers after we return from the Bahamas. We will definitely tell our friends about you. Your guys were diligent and professional and respectful of the boat. Thanks again!

- Tom & Marcia Lewis (Bounty)

Schuman has been maintaining my boat for over a decade and I couldn’t be more satisfied. My regular boat wash, wax, and shrink wrap service has kept our boat in immaculate condition. In fact, while our boat is 17 years old, most people think it’s a fairly new boat. That’s a credit to the excellent crews at Schuman.

- Todd

Yesterday afternoon was the first time I've seen my boat since February. I am so used to paying for any kind of service only to find myself thoroughly disappointed that the people I paid to do something truly didn't give a crap about anything other than my dollars.

But your people continue to be the exception to that norm. You did an awesome job on what I paid for you to do, but beyond that, everything appears to have been done with the kind of care and attention I would have done myself.

Simply, thank you.

- Mike Edick

Boat checked several days ago. Your crew did a SUPERB job - even better than previous years.

I was a bit concerned that my newly re-varnished cap-rails etc might “take a hit” etc. However, the Schuman crew did a remarkable job of protecting every inch of GATSBY’s extensive mahogany cap-rails, and their new high gloss varnish finish. In addition, the crew also avoided using the “faux smokestack” for wrap support as I had requested, and instead erected a vertical support to nicely protect the newly painted stack. Please relay my sincere thanks to this expert crew!!!
