Your boat will look better than the day you bought it. We remove years of oxidation, salt damage, and weathering to reveal the deep gloss underneath.
No more chalky, faded gel coat. No more stubborn water stains or mildew buildup. Just mirror-like shine that turns heads at every marina.
Our ceramic coating protection lasts 4-6 times longer than traditional wax, keeping your vessel pristine through multiple seasons of use.
Legacy Motors and Marine understands what high-value boat owners actually need. Based in Port Jefferson Station, our facility was built specifically for collectors and enthusiasts who expect more than basic service.
We’ve been preserving legacies in Vernon Valley, NY for years. Every yacht, fishing boat, and luxury vessel gets the same precision care we’d give our own.
Your investment deserves specialists who understand gel coat chemistry, marine environments, and the unique challenges of New York waters.
First, we assess your boat’s condition and remove all surface dirt, salt buildup, and marine growth. This deep cleaning reveals the true state of your gel coat and identifies problem areas.
Next comes restoration. We compound out oxidation, buff away scratches, and restore that deep gloss using marine-grade products designed specifically for gel coat, not automotive clear coat.
Finally, we protect your investment. Our ceramic coating or premium marine sealant creates a barrier against UV rays, salt water, and environmental damage. Your boat stays protected for months, not weeks.

We handle everything from gel coat restoration to teak cleaning and conditioning. Interior detailing removes mold, mildew, and stubborn stains from upholstery and carpets.
Vernon Valley’s marine environment creates unique challenges. Salt air from nearby Long Island Sound, combined with New York’s harsh winters, demands specialized care that generic detailing can’t provide.
Our moisture control and mold remediation services protect your investment during storage seasons. We understand the local climate and how it affects luxury marine assets throughout the year.
Most luxury boat owners in Vernon Valley benefit from professional detailing 2-3 times per season, depending on usage and storage conditions. If you keep your boat in the water all season, you’ll need more frequent service due to constant exposure to salt water and marine growth.
Our ceramic coating extends protection significantly – up to 6 months between major details. Traditional wax typically needs refreshing every 6-8 weeks in marine environments.
Climate-controlled storage reduces detailing frequency, while outdoor storage in Vernon Valley’s variable weather requires more attention to prevent oxidation and moisture damage.
Yes, nearly all gel coat can be restored provided it hasn’t completely worn through. We’ve brought back boats that looked beyond saving, removing years of chalky oxidation to reveal the original color and gloss underneath.
The process involves specialized marine compounds that cut through oxidation layers without damaging the underlying gel coat. Unlike automotive products, marine gel coat requires different chemistry and techniques.
Heavily oxidized boats may need wet sanding before compounding, but the results are dramatic. Your 10-year-old boat can look factory-fresh again with proper restoration.
Complete interior detailing covers all cabin surfaces, upholstery, carpets, and storage compartments. We remove mold, mildew, and stains using specialized marine cleaning solutions that won’t damage delicate materials.
Leather seats get conditioned to prevent cracking in marine environments. Vinyl surfaces are treated to resist UV damage and maintain flexibility. All metal hardware is polished and protected.
We also address moisture control – a critical issue for boats stored in Vernon Valley’s humid climate. Proper interior detailing prevents long-term damage that can cost thousands to repair.
Absolutely. Ceramic coating is one of our most popular services because it provides superior protection compared to traditional wax. The coating bonds permanently with your gel coat, creating a glass-like barrier against oxidation, UV damage, and staining.
Ceramic coating lasts 12-18 months with proper care, versus 6-8 weeks for premium marine wax. It also makes future cleaning easier – dirt and salt wash off with minimal effort.
The application process is more involved than waxing, requiring perfect surface preparation and controlled conditions. That’s why many boat owners trust professionals rather than attempting DIY ceramic coating.
Teak requires specialized care to maintain its natural beauty without damage. We use a three-step process with eco-friendly, non-acid cleaners that remove mold and dirt while bringing back that beautiful blonde color.
For heavily weathered teak, we offer multi-stage wet sanding to remove damaged surface layers. This is followed by our synthetic teak sealer that protects against future weathering and UV damage.
We recommend professional teak care 2-3 times per season for boats in Vernon Valley’s climate, depending on exposure and usage patterns.
Marine environments are far more aggressive than automotive conditions. Salt water, constant moisture, and intense UV reflection from water surfaces create unique challenges that automotive products can’t handle.
Gel coat is much more porous than automotive paint, oxidizing faster and requiring different compounds and techniques. Marine-grade products are formulated specifically for these conditions and provide better, longer-lasting results.
We also deal with issues automotive detailers never encounter – marine growth, salt crystallization, teak care, and moisture control. It’s a completely different skill set requiring specialized knowledge and equipment.
