Brian Cline Marine Services

Operating across San Francisco Bay's marinas and harbors, this full-service marine company brings nearly two decades of hands-on experience to boat owners seeking comprehensive care for their vessels. Founded and operated by Brian Cline, a USCG Licensed Master and US Sailing Cruising Instructor, the business has established itself as a trusted resource for sailboat and powerboat owners throughout the Bay Area's diverse waterfront communities.

The company's hull and bottom cleaning services form the cornerstone of their underwater offerings, with subscription-based hull cleaning programs designed to keep vessels performing at their peak. Each hull cleaning service includes thorough zinc anode inspection, propeller cleaning, and before-and-after GoPro video documentation, giving boat owners transparent visibility into the condition of their underwater surfaces. The team serves major marinas throughout the region, including Berkeley Marina, Oakland, Alameda, Emeryville, Richmond, San Francisco, and Sausalito, offering diving and underwater services that extend beyond routine cleaning to include inspections, propeller service, and item recovery.

Above the waterline, their boat detailing and cleaning services cover the full spectrum of vessel appearance maintenance. From basic wash and wax to specialized brightwork, teak treatment, and interior detailing, the company serves both sail and power vessels across Berkeley, Emeryville, Richmond, and Oakland marinas. The business offers instant estimates for detailing work, streamlining the process for boat owners looking to maintain their investment's cosmetic condition and protect gelcoat and other surfaces from the harsh marine environment.

Beyond maintenance and cleaning, Brian Cline brings his extensive teaching background to private sailing instruction on San Francisco Bay. With nearly 20 years of teaching experience and US Sailing certification as a Cruising Instructor, the sailing school and instruction programs range from basic keelboat skills to advanced offshore passage making techniques. Small-group and private sailing lessons are tailored to individual skill levels, covering everything from docking maneuvers to navigation and seamanship for extended coastal voyages.

For vessel owners requiring professional delivery services, the company offers yacht transport and captaining throughout the West Coast and beyond. Drawing on extensive coastal and offshore passage experience, Brian Cline's USCG Master license qualifies him to handle vessel deliveries of various sizes and complexities, whether relocating a boat between local marinas or managing longer coastal runs.

With credentials that combine formal maritime licensing, sailing instruction certification, and two decades of practical experience on San Francisco Bay's challenging waters, this Belvedere-based operation has carved out a distinct position serving the North Bay and greater San Francisco Bay marine community with personalized, professional service across multiple facets of boat ownership.
