⚓️ Our Story

Boat Shine Services was born out of a love for the water and a keen eye for detail. I’m Josh Ribbens, and I’ve been around boats from a young age, spending countless hours in the marina and seeing firsthand how boat owners struggled with keeping their vessels pristine.

It all started with my own family’s boat — never quite as clean as we wanted — and evolved into a full-fledged passion for making boating about boating, not about endless cleaning.

A Commitment to Constant Improvement

From day one in 2023, right out of high school, I made it my mission to raise the bar with every single boat.

• Each boat is a new opportunity to learn, improve, and deliver an even better result than the last.

• We never stop learning because if there’s a way to make your boat look better, we’ll find it.

• Our standards keep rising, and our clients benefit from that relentless pursuit of perfection.

Quality Over Everything

We’re not just another detailing service. Our motto is quality over hourly, and we mean it.

• If it takes a little extra time to get your boat to that perfect gleam, we do it.

• If that means using a special tool to polish under your windshield or going the extra mile to remove a stubborn stain, we do it.

We truly care about making your boat look incredible.

A Personal Connection and Lifelong Clients

When you join Boat Shine Services, you’re not just a name on a list.

• I know my clients by name.

• I know their boats.

• And I care about their experience.

It’s all about building relationships and making sure you have more time to enjoy the water while we handle the hard work.

We never cut corners, and we never compromise on the results.

Our Future: Raising the Standards in Boating While Staying True to Our Roots

Looking ahead, Boat Shine Services is here to stay and grow, but always with boat detailing at our core.

• Our focus will never shift away from delivering the best possible detailing experience.

• As we grow and strengthen our reputation in the West Michigan boating community, we aim to use the values we’ve honed here — like quality, integrity, and customer satisfaction — to raise the standards in other boating services in the future.

But rest assured, boat detailing will always remain our main passion and primary focus.

We’re here to make boating better in every way we can, starting with the exceptional detailing service you can count on.
