Meet Landen Linnemeier

I’m Landen, the owner of DockSide Detailing. I grew up in Leo, Indiana, but some of my best memories are from summers on Hamilton Lake — swimming, fishing, skiing, and wakeboarding. Those summers are a big part of why I started a business built around the lakes.

Founded in 2024 Full-Time Since March 2026 Mobile Boat Detailing Serving Steuben County Lakes

How It Started

Before DockSide, I worked at The Pier Place in Angola, gaining hands-on experience with docks, lifts, and lakefront equipment. I learned how much work goes into keeping a waterfront in good shape.

I started DockSide Detailing in 2024 with dock and pier cleaning. As I got to know more boat owners, the business grew into detailing boats and taking care of other waterfront needs. In March 2026, I took DockSide full-time.

What I Do Today

My focus is helping boat owners enjoy their time on the water without spending all their free time cleaning and maintaining the boat. I bring equipment and supplies right to the dock, marina, or another suitable service location.

  • Interior and exterior boat detailing
  • Wash and wax, buffing, polishing, and oxidation removal
  • Water spot removal and pontoon toon acid washing
  • Jet ski and personal watercraft detailing
  • Dock, pier, ladder, and stair cleaning
  • Shoreline debris and seaweed clearing
  • Routine boat care and seasonal maintenance

Why the Details Matter to Me

I like the kind of work where you can see a real difference when you're finished — faded gelcoat looking better, stained surfaces cleaned up, or an entire boat ready for the weekend.

I want every customer to know who’s showing up, what work is being done, and what to expect. I take pride in communicating clearly and treating their boat and property with care.

Ready to Stay Lake Ready?

Whether your boat needs a refresh, the finish needs attention, or your dock needs cleaning, I’d be glad to take a look and help you plan the next step.
