Wilkes Marine

At Wilkes Marine, we understand that your vessel is more than just a boat—it's your pride, your investment, and your gateway to Southern California's coastal adventures. Located in the heart of Irvine, we specialize in comprehensive marine detailing that goes beyond a simple wash, delivering showroom-quality protection against the unforgiving Pacific maritime environment. Our meticulous detailing process addresses every challenge posed by salt, sun, and sea: aggressive oxidation removal, gelcoat restoration, and precision polishing bring back your vessel's original luster. From topsides and hull washing to intricate teak brightening and stainless steel detailing, we methodically restore and preserve every surface. Our ceramic and graphene coating applications provide unparalleled defense against UV degradation, salt corrosion, and environmental wear. We tackle the specific challenges of coastal marine environments: waterline stains, salt buildup, water spots, and post-haul barnacle residue are handled with surgical precision. Interior cabin and upholstery cleaning, bilge detailing, and canvas/vinyl care ensure your vessel isn't just clean—it's meticulously maintained and guest-ready. Our approach prioritizes your vessel's long-term value. By addressing minor imperfections before they become costly issues, we help maintain your boat's aesthetic appeal and structural integrity. Whether you're a weekend sailor, charter operator, or serious maritime enthusiast, Wilkes Marine delivers the detail-oriented care your vessel deserves. Serving Newport Beach, Balboa, and Orange County's premier marinas, we're your trusted marine detailing partner.
