FAQ
How do I schedule a mobile boat wash and check?
Download the Boat Checked app (iOS / Android), enter your vessel length and location, pick a time, and confirm. You’ll get instant confirmation plus live tracking of your Boat Checked Pro.
Can I reschedule or cancel?
Yes—tap the booking in the app → “Reschedule” or “Cancel.”
Can multiple boats share one account?
Yes—add each vessel’s length and location under “My Boats” and schedule individually.
Will I get service reminders?
Enable push notifications: weekly, twice‑monthly, or monthly reminders sent 24 hrs before the recurring visit.
How does live tracking work?
Enable push notifications: weekly, twice‑monthly, or monthly reminders sent 24 hrs before the recurring visit.
Do you service on holidays or weekends?
We operate seven days a week, 8 a.m.–6 p.m. Holiday slots book quickly—schedule early in the app.
How often should I wash my boat in saltwater?
At least once a month; weekly if the boat sits uncovered. Salt crystals corrode gelcoat within days. Our weekly plan prevents buildup and protects resale value.
Do I still need annual haul‑out service?
Yes—our on‑water inspection spots issues early, but bottom paint, thru‑hull service, and shaft work still require haul‑out.
Will ceramic coating stop water spots?
Ceramic’s hydrophobic layer greatly reduces spotting and makes rinse‑downs faster, but routine washes are still recommended.
Do you fix problems you find?
We focus on inspection and wash. For repairs we’ll refer you to a local marina.
Are your soaps reef‑safe?
Yes. Our detergents meet Florida DEP guidelines and biodegrade within 28 days.
