One of the most common questions we get is: "How much does boat detailing cost in Perth?" It's a fair question, and one that's surprisingly hard to answer online because most detailers (including many of our competitors) don't publish their pricing.
We believe in transparency. Here's a complete honest breakdown of boat detailing costs in Perth for 2026.
Our Pricing: $100–$150 Per Hour
Foam on Wheels charges $100–$150 per hour, including all consumables and marine-grade products. You never pay extra for products, chemicals or equipment — it's all included in the hourly rate.
We quote on a per-job basis after assessing your vessel. The quote is based on the vessel's size, condition and the specific services required. There are no hidden fees and no surprises at the end.
What Affects the Price?
Vessel Size
A small tinnie takes significantly less time than a large cruiser. Vessel length and beam are the primary factors determining how many hours a detail will take.
Condition of the Boat
A well-maintained boat that's been regularly detailed takes less time to bring up to standard than one that hasn't been detailed in several years. Heavy oxidation, deep staining and neglected interiors all add time.
Services Requested
A basic exterior wash and polish takes far less time than a full-service detail including interior, engine bay, stainless polishing and ceramic coating. We quote based on exactly what you need.
Typical Job Examples
- Small tinnie / runabout (basic exterior detail): 2–3 hours
- Medium bowrider / half cabin (full exterior): 3–5 hours
- Large cruiser (full exterior + interior): 6–10 hours
- Graphene ceramic coating (hull only): Add 3–5 hours for prep and application
- Pre-sale detail (full presentation): 4–8 hours depending on size and condition
Is Mobile Boat Detailing More Expensive?
No — and often it's less expensive when you factor in the full cost. Fixed-location detailers may charge less per hour on paper, but you need to trailer your boat to them (fuel, time, trailer wear) and collect it afterwards. Mobile detailing comes to you — no trailering, no additional costs, no time wasted.
