Jonestown, Texas
EXTREME Boat Detailing is based in Jonestown and works on boats where they already sit — a private dock, a marina slip, a lift, a trailer at the house or a dry-storage bay on the north shore of Lake Travis. Nothing gets trailered to a shop.
Mobile boat detailing on Lake Travis, Lake Austin and the greater Austin, Texas area.
Cockpit, helm, storage lockers and non-skid decking, plus marine vinyl seating, bolsters and sun pads. This is the work that matters most on a boat used hard through a Central Texas summer, when sunscreen, lake water and heat all land on the same surfaces.
The waterline band on a boat that stays in the water, and the chalky, flat gelcoat that a few seasons of Texas sun leaves behind. Hull cleaning lifts what has bonded to the surface; staged compounding and polishing work the gelcoat itself.
Ceramic coating over corrected gelcoat, plus polishing for stainless and aluminum hardware. A coated surface releases mineral spotting and grime more easily during routine washes, which matters on hard Highland Lakes water. Correction comes first — coating over dull gelcoat locks the dullness in.
These are groupings to help you find the right page, not fixed packages. Every boat is quoted on what it actually needs.
Lifts the waterline band, mineral film and grime that build on a hull kept in Lake Travis water.
Staged compounding and polishing to bring flat, chalky gelcoat back toward a deep, reflective finish.
Mechanically cuts back the powdery, sun-degraded layer that leaves chalk on your hand and washes out dark hulls.
Cockpit, helm, gauges, storage lockers and non-skid decking, cleaned down to the surfaces a hose-off never reaches.
Marine vinyl seating, bolsters and sun pads cleaned into the grain and conditioned so the material stays supple.
Stainless and aluminum rails, cleats, ladders, towers and trim polished back, including surface rust freckling on fittings.
A durable layer over corrected gelcoat so the finish washes more easily and meets UV before the gelcoat does.
Jonestown sits on the north shore of Lake Travis, and how a boat is kept here varies more than it does on a constant-level lake. Some boats live in a covered slip or on a lift. Some sit on a trailer at the house. Others stay in a dry-storage bay and only go in the water on weekends — partly because ramp availability here moves with the lake. The City of Jonestown operates public ramps at Jones Brothers Park, and the city's own boat ramp page notes that launching is water-level permitting, with some ramps closed when the lake drops.
Because we work where the boat already is, the access details decide how the visit runs. Tell us which of those situations applies, and whether reaching the boat needs a gate code, a marina or storage-facility procedure, a call to a dockmaster, or a homeowner or property manager to let us in. Where a marina, storage facility or neighborhood association requires approval for outside vendors, that approval has to come from you before we arrive.
Then describe the boat itself: type, approximate length, and how the surfaces look right now — a dark band at the waterline, a chalky side that leaves powder on your hand, seating that has gone dull. Photos of the waterline, the sun-facing side and the seating tell us more than any description, and they are what makes a quote accurate rather than a guess.
Pick a time and we come to the boat.
EXTREME Boat Detailing is based in Jonestown, Texas, on the north shore of Lake Travis, and serves Lake Travis, Lake Austin and the greater Austin, Texas boating community.
Jonestown sits within a cluster of north-shore lake communities that also includes Lago Vista, Point Venture, Volente, Hudson Bend and Lakeway — useful orientation if you are describing where your boat is kept, though coverage is quoted by location rather than by town. If your boat is somewhere on Lake Travis or Lake Austin and you are not sure whether we can reach it, describe the location when you book and you will get a straight answer.
Gelcoat restoration, oxidation removal, ceramic coating and metal polishing are the hardest services to quote from a description, because the amount of work depends on what the surface has already lost. Chalking that has been building for three seasons is a different job from a finish that has just gone flat. Photos in daylight — the sun-facing side, the transom, the waterline and the hardware — let us judge how much correction the surface needs before quoting.
Yes. We work on the boat where it already sits: a private dock, a covered slip, a lift, a trailer or a dry-storage bay. Nothing needs to be trailered. What we do need is arranged access, since most north-shore locations are gated or managed.
That works too. A trailered boat at a house or a storage facility is straightforward to detail in place, and it usually means less waterline work and more surface and interior work, because a boat sitting in the sun takes UV load without the water contact.
Sometimes. Marinas, storage facilities and some neighborhood associations require approval before an outside vendor works on site. We do not have standing access anywhere, so that permission has to come from you. Check before booking so the visit is not turned away at the gate.
Per boat. Boat type, approximate length, current surface condition and how we reach the boat all change the work involved, so there is no single figure that would be honest across a pontoon and a yacht. Book a time and we confirm the price for that boat after a photo review.
Boat type, approximate length in feet, an honest description of the condition, where the boat is kept and how to get to it. Photos of the waterline, the sun-facing side and the seating are worth more than any written description.
Pontoon boats, wakeboard and wake boats, center console boats and yachts. Each brings different work: pontoons have aluminum tubes and large vinyl areas, wake boats have dark gelcoat and tower hardware, center consoles have open decking and stainless throughout.
It is worth confirming. Some north-shore docks and storage bays have both, some have neither. It is not a dealbreaker either way, but knowing in advance means the visit is planned around what is actually available rather than improvised on arrival.
