Rooted in lake life. Built on the details.
DockSide Detailing is a locally owned boat detailing and waterfront service business founded in 2024. From a full interior and exterior detail to bringing a weathered finish back to life, our goal is simple: help you spend more time enjoying the lake and less time maintaining it.
How DockSide Started
I’m Landen Linnemeier, the owner of DockSide Detailing. I grew up in Leo, Indiana, but spent my summers on Hamilton Lake swimming, fishing, skiing, and wakeboarding. The lake has always been a big part of my life.
Before starting DockSide, I worked at The Pier Place in Angola, where I gained hands-on experience with docks, lifts, and waterfront equipment. I started DockSide in 2024 with dock and pier cleaning, then expanded into boat detailing as more local owners asked for help caring for their boats.
In March 2026, I made DockSide my full-time business. Today, I’m focused on giving customers a dependable, detail-oriented service right where their boats are.

Hi, I’m Landen.
I’m the person behind DockSide. I enjoy seeing the difference a proper detail can make, whether it’s a cleaner interior, a brighter hull, or a finish that finally shines again.
More than a cleaning business
DockSide grew out of the lakes I know and the work I like doing. I take pride in showing up, being straightforward about what your boat needs, and doing the job right.
