The story behind Bob and Boats
From one boat to a full-time detailing business
Robert Metz started Bob and Boats the way a lot of good businesses start — with a genuine love for boats and a knack for getting them looking better than new. What began as detailing boats for friends around Florida's Gulf Coast turned into a documented journey on Instagram, and now a full-service mobile detailing operation.
Every job is still handled personally, with the same attention to detail that built the @bob_and_boats following from the ground up. Whether it's a quick wash before a weekend trip or a full ceramic coating before the season starts, the goal is the same: your boat looking its absolute best.
