Regular Boat Cleaning Plans
Boats exposed to salt, rain, birds, algae and general marina dirt can quickly lose their clean appearance. After the initial clean, XW Marine can provide recurring maintenance so owners do not need to arrange a new cleaner every time.
- Fortnightly maintenance
- Monthly maintenance
- Seasonal cleaning
- Pre-use or pre-sale cleaning
Regular customers may receive preferential maintenance pricing after the initial clean.
How XW Marine Works
1. Send Your Boat Details
Tell us the boat length, boat type, marina or berth location and current condition. Photos are recommended for first-time cleans.
2. We Confirm Access
Some marinas require external contractors to provide documentation or obtain permission before working on-site. We confirm the relevant requirements before attending.
3. We Clean the Boat
We complete the agreed wash using methods appropriate for the surfaces being cleaned and the marina environment.
4. Keep It Maintained
After the first clean, you can move onto a fortnightly, monthly or seasonal maintenance schedule if required.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does boat cleaning cost in Dublin?
Maintenance washing starts at approximately €6.50 per foot, with a minimum service charge of €120. A deeper exterior and deck clean starts at approximately €10 per foot. Final pricing depends on condition, access and the work required.
How long does a 20 ft boat take to clean?
A regularly maintained 20 ft boat may take around 60–90 minutes. A first clean or a boat with heavier grime can take closer to 90 minutes to 2 hours.
How often should I have my boat washed?
For boats regularly exposed to marina conditions, a clean every 2–4 weeks during the active season can be a practical schedule. Usage, weather, bird activity and location will affect frequency.
Do you use marina water?
Freshwater from the marina is preferred where contractor access and water use are permitted. Water availability and permissions are confirmed before work begins.
Do you use seawater through a pressure washer?
No. XW Marine plans cleaning around freshwater rather than putting seawater through standard pressure-washing equipment.
Do you offer antifouling, machine polishing or gelcoat restoration?
Not currently. The initial XW Marine service is focused on routine exterior washing and deck cleaning.
Can you clean my boat regularly?
Yes. Fortnightly, monthly and seasonal maintenance arrangements can be offered after the initial clean.
