Our Story

Above Board is 15 years old this year!  I started this company in 2009.  Recognizing a need for an actively managed detailing company, I took a common sense approach and listened to boat owners and their requirements.  I learned that no two boat owners want the same thing and there is no 'standard wash'. Meeting together at the boat before the first wash, or on the phone while I tour the boat, we will go over every area of the boat to ensure expectations are understood. We are methodical and practical in our approach, and are happy to explain our practices if there is any uncertainty. Employees typically receive a month of training and then ongoing instruction and guidance throughout their time with us. Actively managed means every day I am on the docks, checking boats, meeting clients, conversing with employees and keeping everything running smoothly.

We have full marine insurance, an up-to-date WorkSafeBC account since 2009 and use only the best marine products on the market.  I've had a chance to test many products out there over the past 15 years.  I have selected the products that provide the best protection, cosmetic appearance, or longest lasting clean that I can find.  Interested in what we use or don't use?  Please ask, I appreciate owners who take an interest in the care and maintenance of their yachts!
