We are Ship Shape Annapolis, your trusted marine services partner serving boat and yacht owners throughout the Annapolis area and greater Chesapeake Bay region. From our facility at 7364 Edgewood Road in Annapolis, Maryland, we provide comprehensive bottom painting, general marine repair and maintenance, and professional yacht detailing and cleaning services that keep vessels performing at their best and looking their finest. Our team of experienced marine technicians understands the unique demands that Chesapeake Bay conditions place on boats, and we bring the expertise and attention to detail necessary to protect your investment season after season. Bottom painting is one of our core specialties, and we recognize how critical proper antifouling protection is for vessels in our local waters. The Chesapeake Bay presents specific challenges with marine growth, barnacles, and fouling organisms that can significantly impact your boat's performance and fuel efficiency. We apply professional-grade antifouling bottom paint using proven techniques that ensure proper adhesion, uniform coverage, and long-lasting protection. Our process includes thorough hull preparation, careful surface assessment, and selection of the appropriate bottom paint system for your vessel type and usage patterns. Whether you have a sailboat, powerboat, or yacht, we customize our bottom painting approach to deliver maximum protection and performance benefits throughout the boating season. Our yacht detailing and cleaning services go well beyond basic washing to deliver comprehensive care that restores and maintains your vessel's appearance. We understand that your boat represents a significant investment, and regular professional detailing protects both its aesthetic appeal and resale value. From gelcoat oxidation removal and compound buffing to wax application, teak cleaning and treatment, and interior cabin detailing, we address every surface with meticulous attention. Our detailing process includes hull cleaning, deck scrubbing, brightwork polishing, vinyl and canvas cleaning, and hardware detailing that leaves your vessel looking showroom-ready. We work with boats and yachts of all sizes, adapting our techniques and products to suit each vessel's specific materials and condition. General marine repair and maintenance form an essential part of our service offerings because we know that boat ownership requires ongoing attention to mechanical systems, structural components, and cosmetic elements. Our certified technicians handle a wide range of repair needs, from fiberglass repair and gelcoat restoration to hardware replacement, deck repair, and system troubleshooting. We diagnose issues accurately and provide honest assessments so you can make informed decisions about your vessel's maintenance.
