We offer a full range of professional marine services including
ceramic coatings, gelcoat restoration, marine detailing, and routine
maintenance. Our services are designed to protect, restore, and
maintain boats and yachts in coastal and seaside environments.
Marine ceramic coatings provide long-term protection against UV rays,
saltwater, oxidation, and environmental contaminants. They enhance
gloss, reduce fading, and make cleaning easier, helping preserve your
vessel's appearance while reducing maintenance time.
The longevity of a ceramic coating depends on the product used,
environmental exposure, and maintenance. When properly cared for,
marine ceramic coatings can provide protection for multiple seasons,
significantly outlasting traditional waxes or sealants.
Yes. We exclusively use professional marine-grade products from
Starke Yacht Care and polishing systems by
RUPES. These products are specifically engineered for
marine surfaces and harsh coastal conditions.
Gelcoat restoration is a professional process that removes oxidation,
fading, staining, and surface imperfections from gelcoat. Using
machine polishing and refinement techniques, we restore clarity,
color, and gloss to bring your boat's exterior back to life.
If your boat's surface appears dull, chalky, faded, or oxidized,
gelcoat restoration is likely recommended. This service is ideal for
boats that have lost their shine due to prolonged sun and saltwater
exposure.
Yes. In fact, ceramic coating is highly recommended after gelcoat
restoration. Restoring the surface first ensures proper bonding and
allows the ceramic coating to deliver maximum protection and
durability.
In coastal environments, we recommend routine detailing every few
months depending on usage and exposure. Regular maintenance helps
prevent buildup, corrosion, and long-term damage caused by saltwater
and sun.
Yes. We service a wide range of vessels including center consoles,
cruisers, yachts, and other recreational boats. Each service is
tailored to the specific vessel and its condition.
