BOAT SPIDERS: THE EIGHT-LEGGED PESTS OF BOAT DETAILING
As boat detailers, we often encounter a surprising number of spiders nestled in the hidden corners of boats. These arachnids are adept at finding refuge in the smallest crevices, behind boat covers, and within the folds of cushions. Their presence is a common aspect of our job, as they seek shelter from the elements and sometimes even make their homes in the less frequented parts of the vessel. We frequently find their intricate webs and spider droppings, which can be a nuisance and a sign of their unwanted presence.
Here is a video one we encountered at a recent trip to Lake Austin Marina.

Spiders often see boats as the perfect new home, using them as a base to hunt other bugs and create intricate webs across the various nooks and crannies. They’re especially drawn to docks and marinas, where the damp environment and shelter make an ideal dwelling spot. Another sign your boat is being taken over by spiders is spotting small dots all across the surface—yes, those are spider droppings.
