Your boat isn’t just sitting in the water—it’s under constant attack. Salt spray, UV rays, and marine growth don’t take breaks, and neither should your protection.
When you invest in proper boat detailing, you’re not just getting a clean vessel. You’re getting gel coat that stays glossy for months, not weeks. Teak that maintains its rich color instead of turning gray. Interior surfaces that resist mold and moisture damage.
The difference shows up in your fuel efficiency, your resale value, and most importantly, in how your boat looks when you pull up to the dock. Clean boats perform better and last longer—that’s not marketing speak, that’s marine science.
We understand what it means to own a serious vessel in Pine Aire waters. We’ve been serving discerning boat owners throughout Long Island, and we know the specific challenges your boat faces here.
Pine Aire’s marine environment is particularly demanding. The combination of brackish water, seasonal weather changes, and heavy boating traffic means your vessel needs more than a basic wash-and-wax approach.
We treat every boat like it belongs to us. That means using the same premium products and techniques that super yachts receive, whether you’re bringing us a 25-foot center console or a 60-foot sportfish.
First, we assess your boat’s current condition and discuss exactly what you need. No generic packages—we create a plan that makes sense for your vessel and how you use it.
Next comes the deep cleaning phase. We remove salt buildup, marine growth, and oxidation using specialized compounds that won’t damage your gel coat or paint. This isn’t pressure-washing and calling it done.
The protection phase is where the real value happens. We apply ceramic coatings, condition your teak, and treat interior surfaces with products designed to resist moisture and UV damage. The goal is extending time between services while keeping your boat looking exceptional.
Final inspection ensures everything meets our standards before we hand back your keys. You’ll see the difference immediately, and you’ll feel it in your wallet when you’re not calling for touch-ups every few weeks.

Our boat detailing covers everything that matters for Pine Aire conditions. Exterior work includes gel coat restoration, oxidation removal, and ceramic coating application that lasts months, not weeks.
Interior detailing addresses the moisture and mold issues common in our humid climate. We clean and condition all surfaces, treat upholstery with protective products, and ensure proper ventilation to prevent future problems.
Teak care is particularly important in Pine Aire’s marine environment. We use non-acid cleaners that eliminate mold and dirt while preserving the wood’s natural oils. The result is that rich blonde color that actually lasts.
Pine Aire boat owners also benefit from our mobile service approach. We come to your marina or dock, so you’re not dealing with transportation logistics or waiting around at a shop.
Most Pine Aire boat owners benefit from a full detail every 3-4 months, with monthly maintenance washes in between. This schedule accounts for our specific marine environment and typical usage patterns.
If you’re out on the water frequently or keep your boat in a slip year-round, you might need more frequent attention. Boats stored on trailers or in covered slips can often go longer between full details.
The key is staying ahead of oxidation and salt buildup. Once gel coat starts chalking or teak begins graying, restoration becomes more expensive and time-consuming than prevention.
Ceramic coating creates a semi-permanent protective layer that bonds with your gel coat at the molecular level. Traditional wax sits on top of the surface and washes away relatively quickly.
In Pine Aire’s challenging marine environment, ceramic coating typically lasts 12-18 months with proper maintenance, while wax might give you 6-8 weeks of protection. The ceramic coating also makes routine cleaning much easier—dirt and salt spray rinse off instead of bonding to the surface.
The upfront cost is higher, but most boat owners find the convenience and long-term protection worth the investment, especially when you factor in reduced cleaning frequency and better gel coat preservation.
Yes, oxidation removal is one of our core services. We use a multi-stage compound and polish process that removes the chalky, faded layer and restores the original gloss and color.
The process involves progressively finer abrasives to eliminate oxidation without removing more gel coat than necessary. This is particularly important on older boats where gel coat thickness might be a concern.
After oxidation removal, we apply protective coating to prevent the problem from recurring. Most boats that receive proper protection after restoration can go years without significant oxidation returning.
Absolutely. We bring all our equipment and supplies directly to your marina, dock, or storage location throughout the Pine Aire area. There’s no additional charge for mobile service within our standard service radius.
Mobile service means you don’t have to coordinate transportation or wait around at a shop. We handle everything on-site while you focus on other priorities.
We’re fully equipped for mobile work, including filtered water systems to prevent hard water spots and all the power equipment needed for professional results. The quality is identical to shop-based service.
Our teak care process uses a three-step, non-acid cleaning system that eliminates mold and dirt while preserving the wood’s natural character. This approach is gentler than harsh acid cleaners that can damage teak fibers.
For heavily weathered teak, we may recommend light sanding before the cleaning process. This removes the gray, weathered surface layer and exposes fresh wood underneath.
After cleaning, we apply a synthetic teak sealer that protects against moisture and UV damage while maintaining that rich blonde color Pine Aire boat owners expect. The sealer also makes routine maintenance much easier.
Pricing depends on your boat’s size, condition, and the specific services needed. A typical full detail for a 30-foot boat ranges from $800-1500, depending on the level of restoration required.
Maintenance washes typically run $200-400, while specialized services like ceramic coating or extensive oxidation removal are priced separately based on the work involved.
We provide detailed written estimates before starting any work, so there are no surprises. Most Pine Aire boat owners find that investing in proper detailing actually saves money long-term by preventing expensive repairs and preserving resale value.
