Your yacht represents more than transportation—it’s a significant investment that deserves meticulous care. When you choose professional marine detailing, you’re protecting against the harsh Long Island marine environment that causes oxidation, UV damage, and costly deterioration.
Our comprehensive approach addresses every aspect of vessel maintenance. From gel coat restoration that brings back that original mirror finish to advanced ceramic coatings that provide months of protection, your boat maintains its value and appearance.
The difference shows immediately. Faded surfaces regain their luster, teak returns to its natural blonde beauty, and interiors stay fresh and mold-free through proper moisture control systems.
Legacy Motors and Marine brings decades of experience serving North Haven’s discerning boat owners. We understand that your vessel isn’t just another boat—it’s a carefully chosen investment that reflects your standards.
Our climate-controlled facility and mobile services ensure your yacht receives the same level of care you’d expect from a premium marina. We’ve built our reputation on delivering results that match the caliber of vessels we service.
North Haven’s marine environment demands specialized knowledge. Salt air, UV exposure, and moisture create unique challenges that require professional-grade solutions and equipment designed specifically for luxury yacht maintenance.
Every project begins with a thorough assessment of your vessel’s current condition. We examine gel coat integrity, identify oxidation levels, and evaluate interior moisture concerns to develop a customized restoration plan.
Our multi-stage process starts with careful surface preparation using filtered water systems to prevent hard water staining. We apply appropriate compounds based on oxidation severity, followed by precision polishing that restores original luster without causing damage.
The final protection phase involves applying premium marine-grade sealants or ceramic coatings depending on your vessel’s needs and usage patterns. Interior work includes comprehensive moisture control, mold remediation when necessary, and conditioning of all surfaces to maintain that fresh, well-maintained appearance.

Our yacht detailing services address every aspect of vessel maintenance from bow to stern. Exterior work includes gel coat restoration, oxidation removal, ceramic coating application, and specialized teak cleaning that brings wood surfaces back to their natural beauty.
Interior detailing focuses on moisture control—critical in North Haven’s humid marine environment. We address mold and mildew issues, condition leather and vinyl surfaces, and ensure proper ventilation systems function correctly to prevent future problems.
North Haven boat owners face unique challenges from Long Island Sound’s salt air and variable weather conditions. Our services are specifically designed to combat these environmental factors, using marine-grade products that withstand the demanding conditions your vessel encounters throughout the boating season.
Most luxury vessel owners in North Haven benefit from comprehensive detailing every 3-6 months, with regular maintenance washing every 2-3 weeks during boating season. The frequency depends on your vessel’s usage, storage conditions, and exposure to Long Island Sound’s marine environment.
Boats kept in covered slips require less frequent major detailing than those stored outdoors. However, North Haven’s salt air and humidity create conditions where mold, oxidation, and surface degradation occur more rapidly than in freshwater environments.
We typically recommend spring preparation detailing, mid-season maintenance, and fall protection services. This schedule ensures your investment stays in optimal condition while preventing costly damage from neglect.
Our gel coat restoration process begins with thorough surface assessment to determine the appropriate level of intervention. For light oxidation, we use single-stage polishing with marine-grade compounds. Severe oxidation requires multi-stage wet sanding followed by progressive polishing steps.
The process includes complete surface preparation, oxidation removal, scratch elimination, and color restoration. We finish with premium polymer sealants or ceramic coating application depending on your vessel’s needs and your protection preferences.
Results typically last 4-6 months with proper maintenance, though ceramic coatings can extend protection up to 12-18 months. The restored surface not only looks better but also resists future oxidation and makes regular cleaning significantly easier.
Yes, we provide comprehensive mobile detailing services throughout North Haven and surrounding Long Island areas. Our mobile units are fully equipped with filtered water systems, professional-grade equipment, and all necessary products to deliver the same quality results at your marina or storage location.
Mobile service eliminates the hassle and expense of transporting your vessel to our facility. This is particularly valuable for larger yachts where transportation isn’t practical or cost-effective.
We coordinate with marina management when necessary and can work around your boating schedule. Most mobile detailing projects can be completed while you’re at work, so your vessel is ready when you want to use it.
Teak requires specialized care because it’s both beautiful and vulnerable to North Haven’s marine environment. Without proper maintenance, teak turns gray, develops mold and mildew, and eventually requires expensive replacement rather than restoration.
Our teak restoration process uses eco-friendly, non-acid cleaners that remove embedded dirt and mold without damaging the wood fibers. We follow this with appropriate conditioning products that restore the wood’s natural oils and provide protection against future weathering.
Properly maintained teak not only looks stunning but also maintains your vessel’s value significantly better than neglected wood surfaces. Regular professional teak care prevents the deep damage that requires sanding or replacement, saving thousands in restoration costs.
Ceramic coating creates a semi-permanent protective layer that’s particularly valuable in North Haven’s challenging marine conditions. The coating provides superior protection against UV rays, salt spray, oxidation, and the constant moisture exposure that damages gel coat surfaces.
Unlike traditional wax that lasts 2-3 months, ceramic coatings maintain protection for 12-18 months with proper care. The hydrophobic properties make cleaning easier because dirt, salt, and organic matter don’t bond as readily to the protected surface.
For North Haven boat owners, this means fewer detailing sessions, better protection during storage periods, and maintained appearance throughout the demanding boating season. The initial investment pays for itself through reduced maintenance needs and preserved vessel value.
Interior moisture control is critical for North Haven boats due to Long Island’s humidity and marine environment. Our interior services include comprehensive mold and mildew remediation, moisture barrier treatments, and ventilation system optimization to prevent future problems.
We clean and condition all interior surfaces including leather, vinyl, fabric, and wood components. Our process includes antimicrobial treatments that inhibit mold growth and specialized products that maintain material flexibility and appearance despite constant humidity exposure.
Prevention is always better than remediation. We identify moisture entry points, recommend ventilation improvements, and provide ongoing maintenance schedules that keep interiors fresh and healthy. This proactive approach prevents the expensive damage that occurs when moisture problems go unaddressed.
