In most cases, a complete boat detailing of most boats under 30 ft in length usually takes about one hour for every two feet of boat length. For example, in order to make $50 per hour you would need to charge $25 per foot to detail a 30 ft boat. Since it would take about 15 hours to detail a 30-foot boat, the total charge would be $750.
Of course, boats over 30 ft are going to take much more than one hour per ft to complete due to the additional width and total surface area of larger boats. You can figure that a 40 ft boat could take anywhere between 35 to 40 hours to complete. So at an hourly rate of $50 per hr, that would work out to a price range of between $1750 and $2000.
Personally, I would be a bit cautious of anyone offering you 200 to 300 new boat detailing customers. Figure it out for yourself. There are only so many hours in the day. Taking on that quantity of work could turn into one long hot summer, especially for someone who has never detailed boats before.
Just my thoughts on the subject. |
yea, boats are ALOT of work, completely different than doing a car. but I love doing them
