Know which boat detailing leads are worth inspection time
Ask every inquiry about boat type, length, and the specific services needed—wash and wax, gelcoat restoration, teak care—before you commit yard time. Hull and interior photos arrive with each submission so your team can scope the job before the inspection.
The exact intake your boat detailing leads complete
This is the real 6-question guided intake for Boat Detailing — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified boat detailing lead should tell you
Cleaning, polishing, and cosmetic restoration of a boat's exterior and interior surfaces—wash and wax, gelcoat and oxidation treatment, teak care, and metal polishing—scoped by boat type, size, and location before a crew is dispatched.

The questions your team needs answered
Every boat detailing intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What type of boat needs detailing? | Boat type determines the equipment, chemicals, and time your crew needs to prepare, so it shapes scheduling before anything else does. |
| Approximately how long is the boat in feet? | Length range affects crew size and yard or dock space required, which matters most for vessels over 50 ft. |
| What services do you need for this boat? | Each service selected carries its own weight, so a lead asking for oxidation restoration and teak care together scores higher than one asking for a wash only. |
| Where is the boat currently located? | Current location determines whether your crew needs marina access, trailer transport, or storage yard coordination before the job can happen. |
| Are you the owner or authorized to arrange service for this boat? | A 'no' here means the requester may not be authorized to book the vessel, which is exactly the scenario that leads to wasted yard time on the wrong boat. |
| How soon would you like the detailing service to happen? | An ASAP answer signals a lead ready to book now, while 'just exploring' tells you the same intake shouldn't be treated as urgent. |

Built for boat detailing workflows
| Cliont capability | Boat Detailing application |
|---|---|
| Weighted multi-select scoring | Each service selected—oxidation/gelcoat restoration, teak care, metal polishing—adds its own weight, so a lead requesting three services scores higher than a single wash-and-wax request. |
| Ownership/authorization gating | The owner-or-authorized question is scored separately from service selections, letting you catch third-party inquiries before yard time is booked for a boat the requester doesn't control. |
| Location-aware routing | Marina slip, private dock, storage yard, and trailer answers can route the lead to the crew or schedule slot that matches your access logistics for that location. |
| Urgency flagging | Personal watercraft selections and 'as soon as possible' timelines are treated as urgent signals so they can be surfaced ahead of exploratory or multi-week requests. |
Common boat detailing lead scenarios
Yacht needing full restoration
An owner selects oxidation/gelcoat restoration, teak care, and metal polishing on a boat over 50 ft, which stacks the highest-weighted service options into one lead worth prioritizing.
Quick wash-and-wax request
A powerboat owner picks a single lower-effort service with a flexible timeline, giving your team a smaller, easier job to slot around bigger work.
Personal watercraft, urgent turnaround
PWC requests are flagged as urgent in scoring, so a jetski owner asking for fast service surfaces differently than a routine boat inquiry even before services are picked.
Someone inquiring, not the owner
When the person isn't authorized to arrange service, the intake flags it with a lower weight so you can confirm ownership before scheduling yard time for the wrong vessel.
Just comparing detailers
A lead selects 'just exploring options' for timeline, which scores lower than an ASAP request and tells you not to treat it like a booking-ready inquiry.

Boat Detailing lead-intake FAQs
Does the intake ask about boat length so we know if it fits our yard?
Yes, the intake collects an approximate length range (under 20 ft up to over 50 ft) so you can gauge crew size, dock space, and time needed before confirming an inspection.
How does the intake handle personal watercraft requests differently?
Personal watercraft is flagged as an urgent signal in scoring, so those leads can stand out from a routine powerboat or sailboat inquiry even before you look at the requested services.
What happens if the person filling out the form isn't the boat's owner?
The ownership/authorization question carries its own weight, and a 'no' answer scores lower so your team can verify who's authorized before scheduling yard time for the wrong vessel.
Can a lead request more than one service, like gelcoat restoration and teak care together?
Yes, the services question is multi-select, so a lead can combine exterior wash and wax, oxidation/gelcoat restoration, teak care, interior cleaning, and metal polishing in one submission, each adding to the score.
Does the intake ask where the boat is located?
It asks whether the boat is at a marina slip, private dock, storage yard, or on a trailer, which affects access planning before you commit crew time to the job.
How does timeline affect how a lead is prioritized?
Requests marked 'as soon as possible' score higher than 'within a month' or 'just exploring options,' so urgent jobs surface ahead of leads that aren't ready to book.
