Saint Augustine, Florida

• Independent Contractor (1099)

Full Throttle Marine delivers premium mobile marine service directly to boat owners' docks—and detailing is a core part of what makes us different. Our customers expect showroom-quality results delivered to their slip, without hauling their boat anywhere.

We're looking for a meticulous, experienced marine detailer who takes pride in results, works independently, and understands that a perfect finish on a boat is not optional—it's the only acceptable outcome.

Full Throttle Marine's Premium Detailing package is the standard on every job. No half measures. No skipped steps.

• Full exterior wash—hull, deck, and topsides
• Clay bar treatment to remove embedded contamination
• Machine polish to restore and enhance gelcoat/paint finish
• Wax seal application for lasting UV and salt protection
• Metal brightwork cleaning and polish

• Full interior wipe-down and surface cleaning
• Vinyl seat conditioning and UV protect ant application
• Glass and windshield treatment—streak‑free, water‑repellent finish
• Bilge inspection wipe-down (cosmetic)
• Final walk‑through inspection and photo documentation

Every completed job includes a professional photo report delivered to the customer. That's the Full Throttle standard—documented, professional, on brand.

• Proven professional detailing experience—marine, automotive, or both
• Hands‑on proficiency with machine polishers (rotary and dual‑action)
• Experience with clay bar, compound, polish, and wax/sealant application
• Knowledge of marine vinyl care, glass treatment, and surface‑specific products
• Own detailing equipment and supplies (or ability to supply)
• Reliable transport to customer locations (marinas, docks, dry storage)
• Meticulous attention to detail and consistent quality output
• Valid driver's license and clean record

• Prior marine detailing experience on fiberglass hulls and gelcoat surfaces
• Familiarity with premium marine product lines (3M, Meguiar's Marine, Star Brite, Collinite, or similar)
• Experience working in marina environments—dock etiquette, water safety
• Ability to bundle detailing with scheduled mechanical service visits
• Interest in expanding into additional marine service disciplines over time

• Above-market compensation on flat-rate detailing tickets
• High-value bundled jobs—detailing frequently paired with mechanical service calls, increasing ticket size and your per‑visit earnings
• Consistent, pre‑booked work—no customer acquisition, no quoting wars
• Flexible scheduling—you control your calendar
• Full Throttle Marine brand, marketing, and booking infrastructure
• Defined service territory—your market, your customers
• Photo documentation workflow provided
• Path to expanded work as the territory and service menu grow

For our customers, their boat is a significant investment—and its condition is a reflection of how they take care of their things. A great detail isn't just cosmetic. It's part of what they're buying when they choose Full Throttle.

We pair detailing with our mechanical service packages because the best visit we can make is one where the engine is running perfect and the hull is gleaming when we leave the dock. That's the experience. That's what they tell their friends about.

If you do work that makes a boat owner stop and stare before you leave—you're the right person for this role.
