Sure
Build by or borrow dinghy is the one way; barring that many boatyards, boat owners and boat detailers have a small work float; Not a boat or dinghy at all but sort of a low, say 6 x 4 float that they can work from.
Here's a ready made model; but a handy boater can cobble a serviceable one together in an afternoon.

What I do with my boat is plan to wax when the family is going to the local sandbar. Anchored in 2-3 feet of water, I just hop over and have at it. ( I use a waxing pad on a cordless drill for this duty). Tough to get right at the waterline while boat is in the water-- but that is what a bootstripe is for anyhow.
