Our Services
Premium yacht refinishing, coatings, and maintenance — every service performed to a showroom-caliber standard across Palm Beach and Broward counties.

Ceramic Coatings
Our Gtechniq Marine ceramic coatings deliver a molecular bond to your vessel's gelcoat, paint, or metal surfaces — creating a hydrophobic, UV-resistant shield that repels contaminants, simplifies wash-downs, and maintains a deep, mirror-like gloss for up to 24 months in South Florida conditions. As certified Gtechniq Marine Approved Applicators, we follow the manufacturer's exact multi-stage preparation and application protocol to ensure your coating performs at its peak.
What's Included
- Surface decontamination and clay bar treatment
- Multi-stage machine polish for maximum clarity
- Gtechniq Marine ceramic coating application (hull
- topsides
- or full vessel)
- 24-month protection warranty
- Post-application care guide and maintenance recommendations

Polishing & Compounding
Florida's relentless sun and salt slowly rob your vessel of its showroom finish. Our multi-stage machine polishing process removes oxidation, swirl marks, water spots, and light scratches — restoring a deep, wet-look gloss that turns heads at the marina. We use professional-grade rotary and dual-action systems with marine-specific compounds and polishes calibrated to your finish type.
What's Included
- Surface assessment and defect analysis
- Multi-stage machine polishing (cut
- refine
- finish)
- Swirl and scratch removal
- Final gloss enhancement and sealant application

Oxidation & Gelcoat Restoration
Oxidation is the silent enemy of every boat in South Florida. It turns white hulls chalky, colored gelcoat dull, and diminishes your vessel's value. Our restoration process uses heavy-cut compounds, multi-stage wet sanding when necessary, and graduated polishing steps to remove years of UV damage and restore your gelcoat to its original depth and color — often eliminating the need for costly re-painting.
What's Included
- Full oxidation severity assessment
- Wet sanding (where required) with graduated grit progression
- Heavy-cut compound and polish correction
- Protective sealant or ceramic coating application
- Before-and-after photo documentation

Wet Sanding
When standard polishing can't reach deep enough, wet sanding is the answer. This precise, controlled technique levels the surface by removing a thin, measured layer of material — correcting heavy oxidation, orange peel texture, deep scratches, and spray-paint imperfections. Our technicians work through graduated grit sequences and finish with machine polishing to produce a mirror-flat, optically clear result.
What's Included
- Defect depth analysis and approach planning
- Multi-grit wet sanding progression (800–3000+)
- Post-sanding machine compound and polish
- Final inspection under controlled lighting

Recurring Wash & Maintenance
A consistent wash and maintenance program is the most cost-effective way to protect your investment and maintain your vessel's appearance year-round. We offer weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly plans customized to your boat's size, usage, and storage conditions. Every visit includes a thorough exterior wash, interior wipe-down, hardware and metal attention, and a condition report so you always know how your vessel is performing.
What's Included
- Scheduled exterior wash and rinse
- Interior wipe-down and cockpit cleaning
- Hardware
- metal
- and glass cleaning
- Condition report after every visit
- Priority scheduling for seasonal details

Teak & Brightwork Care
South Florida's UV and humidity cycle is brutal on teak and varnished brightwork. We restore weathered, grey teak to its warm honey tone through careful sanding and cleaning, then protect it with premium sealers or oils suited to your vessel's exposure. Varnished surfaces receive careful prep, strip-and-sand where needed, and multiple coats of marine-grade varnish for a rich, lasting shine.
What's Included
- Teak cleaning
- sanding
- and restoration
- Sealer or oil application (owner's preference)
- Brightwork prep
- sanding
- and multi-coat varnish
- Ongoing maintenance recommendations

Metal Polishing
Corroded or pitted metal fittings detract from even the best hull finish. We polish stainless steel, aluminum, chrome, and brass hardware to remove tarnish, water stains, and surface corrosion — then apply protective coatings to slow the cycle and extend the shine between service visits.
What's Included
- Surface-specific compound and polish selection
- Multi-step polishing to mirror or satin finish
- Protective sealant or ceramic metal coating
- Hardware reinstallation if removed for access

Interior Detailing
Your vessel's interior takes a beating from salt air, sunscreen, moisture, and everyday use. Our interior detail covers every surface — upholstery, vinyl, carpet, headliner, galley, heads, and electronics — using marine-safe products that clean, condition, and protect. The result is a cabin that looks, feels, and smells like new.
What's Included
- Full vinyl and upholstery cleaning and conditioning
- Carpet and fabric extraction or steam cleaning
- Galley and head deep cleaning and sanitization
- Glass
- electronics
- and dash detailing
- Mildew and odor treatment where needed

Paint Protection & Coatings
Whether your vessel has just come out of the paint shop or you want to extend the life of a recent detail, our protective coating options add an extra barrier against UV degradation, biological growth, and environmental fallout. We match the right product — from spray sealants to multi-layer ceramic systems — to your vessel's needs and your maintenance preferences.
What's Included
- Surface preparation and decontamination
- Product selection consultation
- Multi-layer coating application
- Cure verification and care instructions
