Hull + Interior Detailing Combo: What's Included and Is It Worth It?

The Hull + Interior combo bundles my in-water hull cleaning with a full interior detail on the same visit, and you save 10% off booking both separately. If you're already paying for regular hull cleanings, adding interior detailing to the same trip usually makes sense both on price and convenience.

I run this combo a lot with owners at Shelter Island and Harbor Island who keep their boats looking sharp for charter work or resale, but it works just as well for someone who just wants a clean boat without scheduling two separate appointments.

Key takeaways

• The combo saves 10% compared to booking hull cleaning and interior detailing as separate services
• I do both jobs myself, same visit, no need to coordinate two different people showing up at your slip
• Works with any recurring plan, Monthly, Bi-Monthly, or Quarterly, so you can bundle it into a schedule you already have
• Every visit still includes a free zinc inspection, combo or not
• Best fit for owners who already get hull cleanings regularly and want the boat interior handled on the same day

What exactly is included in the Hull + Interior combo?

The hull side is the same service I always do: full hull cleaning with soft-cloth methods to protect your antifouling paint, prop and running gear cleaning, and a zinc check. Nothing gets skipped just because it's bundled.

On the interior side, I clean cabin surfaces, wipe down and detail the helm, clean windows and hatches from inside, and handle general interior upkeep depending on what your boat needs. It's not a deep-clean restoration job, it's the kind of detailing that keeps a boat looking maintained between bigger cleanings.

Since I'm already in the water and then coming aboard for the interior, you're not paying for two separate trip charges or scheduling headaches. One visit, one invoice.

How much do you actually save?

Say you've got a 38-foot boat on a Bi-Monthly hull plan at $2.75/ft, that's $104.50 per hull cleaning. Add interior detailing separately and you're paying for both services at full price. Bundle them and you knock 10% off the combined total.

On a boat that size, that's real money over a year, especially if you're doing it every 6-8 weeks. The savings scale with boat length, so bigger boats save more in dollar terms even though the percentage stays the same.

I'll always give you the exact number before I start anything. No surprises on the invoice, and no markup games with the math either.

Who actually benefits from bundling versus booking separately?

If you only want your hull cleaned and don't care about the interior, don't pay for the combo, it's not for you. Same if you want a one-time deep interior detail unrelated to your hull cleaning schedule, that's a different conversation.

The combo makes the most sense for owners who are already on a recurring hull plan and want the boat interior kept up on a consistent basis too. It's also a good fit before a haulout, a sale, or a charter season when you want the whole boat presentable without juggling separate bookings.

I've got owners at Coronado and Mission Bay who just build the interior detail into their existing Quarterly hull visits. It becomes part of the routine instead of a separate errand.

How does this fit with the Six-Pack and Annual plans?

You can layer the combo discount on top of either the Six-Pack (pay for 6, get 1 free) or the Annual 12-cleaning pack (about 15% off, plus a free emergency dive and priority scheduling). If you're already committing to a year of cleanings, adding interior detailing at the discounted combo rate is usually the most cost-effective way to keep the whole boat maintained.

I'll walk through the math with your specific boat length and schedule so you can see the actual dollar difference, not just percentages.

FAQ

What's included in the interior detailing part of the combo? Cabin surface cleaning, helm detailing, interior window and hatch cleaning, and general interior upkeep based on what your boat needs. It's maintenance-level detailing, not a full restoration.

Do I have to be on a recurring hull cleaning plan to get the combo discount? No, you can book the combo as a single visit, but the savings and scheduling convenience work best if you're already getting hull cleanings on a regular basis.

Can I add the combo to my Six-Pack or Annual plan? Yes. Both plans work alongside the combo discount, and I'll calculate the total savings for your boat before anything gets scheduled.

Does the interior detail happen the same day as the hull cleaning? Yes, same visit. I do the underwater work first, then come aboard for the interior, so you only need to coordinate one appointment.

Is the hull cleaning quality any different when it's part of a combo? No. Same soft-cloth method, same prop and running gear care, same zinc inspection. The combo only changes the price and the scheduling, not the work itself.
