About Dazzling Marine
Owner-run, hands-on
An owner-run vessel management and detailing business, working out of O'Connor near Fremantle, looking after private yachts and boats across Perth.
One person who knows your boat
Dazzling Marine is run by Darren Zuydam, its founder and managing director. Darren personally oversees the business and the standard of every job, which is what owners tell us they value most: one person who knows their boat, takes responsibility for it, and is reachable on the mobile when something comes up.
We have looked after Perth yachts for years. We have cared for the vessel Odyssey on a monthly program since she launched in 2011, and we look after boats at Royal Perth Yacht Club's Fremantle Annexe and at Swan Yacht Club.
Why owner oversight matters
Your boat, watched closely
A high-value vessel needs more than a wash. It needs someone who notices the small things early, before they become expensive, and who keeps the work coordinated. That is the difference between a detailer and vessel management. We go over your boat with a fine-tooth comb, give you honest no-obligation advice, and tell you straight when a product or a cost changes. The goal is simple: keep your boat looking and working as well as the day you got it, and protect its value.

In the community
Beyond the dock
Darren has supported Upside, a not-for-profit working in remote rural Nepal, since 2010, after his first trip there with Upside founder Calum Foulner. It is a small thing, but it says something about how the business is run.
