Certified shine detailing
Apr 2
We now restore TEAK! Yes that’s right full teak repair is available with us!
We're Certified Shine Detailing, and we've been making boats and vehicles look like liquid glass here in Fort Myers for over 7 years. What started as a passion for perfection has grown into Southwest Florida's go-to shop for ceramic coatings, paint correction, and detailing that actually lasts in our brutal marine environment.
Our specialty is taking vessels that have been beaten up by salt air, UV rays, and neglect, then bringing them back to showroom condition. We're talking about real oxidation removal, proper paint correction, and ceramic coatings that make water bead off like magic. The difference isn't just visible – it's dramatic. Customers drive from 2+ hours away because they know we'll take the time to do it right, not rush through it like some quick-wash operation.
Beyond detailing, we handle comprehensive yacht management, hull and bottom cleaning, boat carpentry and woodwork, plus graphics and lettering work. When you're dealing with a significant marine investment, you want people who understand both the technical side and the craftsmanship. We're Boatwork-verified and badge-verified precisely because we meet those standards consistently.
What really sets us apart is our attention to detail and fair pricing. We've built our reputation one satisfied customer at a time – people who come back again and again, refer their friends, and trust us with their Corvettes, F-150s, motorcycles, and million-dollar yachts. Whether it's a full paint correction with System X ceramic coating or bringing a neglected interior back to life, we approach every project the same way: methodically, thoroughly, and with genuine pride in the outcome.
Fort Myers boat owners deal with some of the harshest conditions on the water. Between the intense sun, constant humidity, and saltwater exposure, your gel coat and surfaces take a beating year-round. That's exactly why we focus on protective solutions that actually work long-term, not temporary fixes that look good for a week. Our ceramic coatings aren't just about the immediate wow factor – though that liquid glass finish definitely delivers – they're about protecting your investment for years to come.
Ready to see what your boat or vehicle can really look like? Let's talk about bringing that shine back and keeping it there.

★★★★★“Great ceramic job by Zack and his helper. This was a brand new boat, but even new boats have lots of imperfections and dull areas. Zack made it look better than new, and his price was very reasonable. He will be doing ceramic on my Jeep, as well. ”

★★★★★“Did my Sea Hunt center console with a ceramic coating and it’s way better than expected. Every inch looks perfect. Even polished the cleats. ”
★★★★★“Certified Shine is hands down the best detailing service I’ve ever used!! I used Zach to do paint correction then apply System X Max ceramic coating. Hey s attention to detail and perfection is second to none. He takes his time and makes sure that the job is done correctly. I’ve used Certified Shine 3 times in the past and will only trust Zach with my detains needs. Considering that I live 2+ hrs from his shop should tell you something!!! I’ve purchased his line of detailing products to keep my rig looking fresh and the products are amazing and they don’t break the bank!!!”
★★★★★“Zach did an amazing job ceramic coating my Lexus and my 30’ boat! His experience and attention to detail make him the only one I trust with my toys!”
★★★★★“Zach and his crew did a great job on our boat. She was starting to loose her luster and we chose to go with Ceramic coat. Before the ceramic coat we’d get all of the brown staining from the local water. After ceramic coat the staining just rinsed off with a garden hose. Super happy customer. ”
★★★★★“Did our scout boat, looks better now then when we bought it”
★★★★★“My Cobia center console needed some serious love, it had heavy oxidation and was really starting to look dull. They completely brought it back to life—removed all the oxidation and finished it off with a multi-year ceramic coating. Now it shines like new again! They also replaced my broken and cracked Cobia hullside emblems, which really completed the transformation. Super impressed with the quality of work and attention to detail. Highly recommend!”
★★★★★“Zack brought my 2004 Chris Craft back from the dead. The hull is flag blue with a red stripe. They were deeply faded. Zack made it look better than new. The colors are deep and the gloss is incredible. After I saw what he could do with my boat, I entrusted him with my Ferrari and Mercedes. Again, he corrected the paint and clear bra and applied the best ceramic products. The cars look amazing. Zack has a great work ethic, shows up when he says and wprks hard. He really knows what he is doing. ”
★★★★★“Absolutely the Best Boat Detailing Around! I can’t say enough great things about this company they truly are the best! The quality of their work is unmatched, and my boat has never looked better. The attention to detail is incredible, and you can tell they take real pride in what they do.”

Areas We Serve
Professional Marine Services for Fort Myers Boaters
Fort Myers' extensive canal system and prime location along the Intracoastal Waterway create unique challenges for boat owners. The year-round boating season means your vessel faces constant exposure to Florida's intense UV rays, afternoon thunderstorms, and marine growth that thrives in these warm waters. At Certified Shine Detailing, we understand these local conditions and how they impact your boat's maintenance needs. Our hull and bottom cleaning services are essential in Southwest Florida's nutrient-rich waters where marine growth accelerates rapidly. We provide comprehensive bottom painting and antifouling solutions specifically formulated for the Gulf Coast environment. Whether your boat is stored in one of the area's dry stack facilities or kept in-water at a local marina, our yacht management services ensure your vessel stays in peak condition. From our base of operations, we serve the entire Fort Myers area including Cape Coral, Estero, and south to Bonita Springs. Our boat detailing and protective services help combat the harsh Florida sun, while our carpentry and woodwork expertise addresses the challenges of maintaining teak and other marine woods in this humid climate.
