Saint Augustine, Florida • Independent Contractor (1099) • Flexible Schedule
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.
You bring the skill. We bring the customers, the schedule, and the brand.

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.
