Usually about $2 per square foot. It can be a pain. Bring soft tarps to protect from the hoses. I have done 150 ft yachts as well as smaller 30-40 ft yachts. Minimum charge is $300. If you have to do it with a portable, check to make sure you have enough electric power and hot water.

Cleaning in boats is a miserable way to make money in this industry

been there, done that. Kinda like cleaning private jets. a long hose run and tightly cramped. not really fun for someone 6 ft 7 inches.

And make sure it's secured if left on the dock. I heard a story about a local cleaner that had a portable vibrate off the dock into the water.

We have done all kinds of boats and airplanes over the tears, including the guest suite on a 750 foot lake freighter. I went on that one because it sounded fun and it was!

Exactly. Check the tide table before scheduling as well. You don't want to rolling a heavy portable down a steep ramp at low tide.

I cleaned a houseboat at Lake Shasta. The guy docked it near the launch ramp and I parked my van on the ramp near the water. It was a real pain in the rear. The thing that stuck with me is the customer told me to dump my waste water into the lake. Unbelievable to me. Can you imagine the fines for doing that? Probably would have had some sort of federal charges. Needless to say, I didn't do it.

I turn down all boats and RV's now. Just give me regular carpet in houses.

 

[Jack Zipper Zerkie]

YES YES even in sunny Florida a PAIN . Years back there was a guy that had a truckmount in a boat and was able to clean by pulling up next to the boat to be cleaned on a calm day no wakes.

You just need a Bane for that kinda thang

 

[hogjowl]

Are they still in business?

 

[Kenny Hayes]

I have no idea. I think they are. They used to show an ad with a Bane porty just outside a yacht with the hose running to it. Can you imagine trying clean in one with a Jimmy wand?

Van you imagine trying to push a full Bane recovery tank up a boat ramp.
