Boat Cleaning Kit FAQs

What supplies should you keep in your boat cleaning kit?

We recommend your boat cleaning kit include at least these basics: a quality bucket, dirt trap, boat soap, wash mitt, sponge, boat brushes for scrubbing the deck and hull, and chamois mop or shammy towel for drying. These are the basics you’ll need to keep your boat in top condition. 

You may consider adding tools to make the job easier like a foam cannon for quickly applying soap, salt remover for neutralizing corrosive salt water, and rust remover for metal parts that leave stains.

How often should you restock a boat cleaning kit?

Some items in your kit may last you years, like your bucket, dirt trap, or foam cannon. Others may wear out with time and need to be replaced each season. These may include your wash mitt, shammy towel, microfiber rags, and sponges.

Of course you will want to replace your boat soap and boat cleaners whenever they get used up. Typically, it’s more economical to buy boat cleaning products as kits, which may affect your decision to restock your kit with individual items or purchase a new kit.

Some supplies may need to be replaced seasonally, while others may last a couple years before needing to be replaced.

Why should I buy a boat cleaning kit?

Our boat cleaning kits are the best way to save money on boat cleaning supplies. While you'd pay full price purchasing each of the items separately, when you buy a Captains Preferred Products kit, you save money! We discount every kit, and larger kits offer larger savings.

Cleaning kits are also highly convenient, as the items are handpicked to be useful on the boat. They make great gifts or restocks for the next boating season.

What types of boats are these cleaning kits meant for?

Captains Preferred boat cleaning kits are made for all types of boats. We handpick the most useful items that we find ourselves reaching for regularly on the boat or at the dock.

You can use our boat cleaning kits on fishing boats, flats boats, pontoon boats, deck boats, bass boats, speedboats, wake boats, and more. Any boat that needs a good cleaning would benefit from our kits.
