Gel Coat vs.
Clear Coat.
Automotive paint is thin and sealed with clear coat. Marine gel coat is thick, porous, and unsealed.
Why boats chalk: UV rays dry out the pores of the gel coat, causing the surface to turn into a dead, white powder (oxidation).
How we fix it: We sand or compound the dead layer off to reach the healthy gelcoat underneath, then seal it right away with a marine ceramic coating. Left bare, it oxidizes again within weeks.
Pricing Variables
"Starting At" pricing is based on LOA (Length Overall) and standard beam. Excessive oxidation, mold, interior condition, or cabin cruisers with significant surface area will adjust the price.
Mobile Service?
We can perform marine services on-site at your dock or marina, provided there is access to power and water.
What Each Step Involves
Premium marine wash
Marine-grade cleaners take off salt, algae and grime and help protect the surface from the next round, on freshwater and saltwater boats.
Interior and cabin detailing
Cabins and decks live with moisture, which brings mold and mildew. Upholstery cleaning, woodwork polishing and a deep clean of every corner leave the interior fresh.
Teak cleaning
Teak decking is hard to keep clean. Specialized equipment and techniques lift the dirt and grime out of the wood.
Gelcoat and paint decontamination
Water spots, algae and rust come off the gelcoat with marine-safe products, getting the hull ready for polishing or a coating.
Gelcoat and paint correction
Marine-grade compounds and polishes remove swirls, oxidation and scratches and bring back the boat's original shine.
Marine coatings
Two-year and three-year marine coatings repel water, resist UV damage and cut down on dirt sticking to the hull.
