You pull into the marina and other boat owners actually notice. Your gel coat has that deep, mirror-like finish that only comes from professional marine detailing—not the chalky, faded look that screams “neglected.”
The teak gleams with rich, natural color instead of that weathered gray that makes expensive boats look cheap. Your interior smells fresh and clean, not like the musty dampness that drives guests away.
This is what happens when your yacht gets the specialized care it was designed to receive. Every surface restored to factory standards, every detail protected against Long Island’s harsh marine environment.
Legacy Motors and Marine serves yacht owners throughout Wyandanch and the greater Long Island area who refuse to settle for basic boat washing. We specialize in the kind of detailed marine care that preserves both beauty and value.
Long Island’s marine environment is particularly brutal on boats. Salt air, intense summer UV, and constant moisture create the perfect storm for gel coat oxidation, teak deterioration, and interior mold problems. We’ve spent years mastering the techniques and products needed to combat these specific challenges.
Our approach focuses on preservation, not just cleaning. Every service we provide is designed to extend your yacht’s lifespan while maintaining the pristine condition that reflects your standards.
We start by examining your yacht’s current condition—gel coat oxidation levels, teak weathering, interior moisture issues, and any specific problem areas you’ve noticed. No generic checklist approach here. Every boat has unique needs based on age, usage, and storage conditions.
The restoration work comes next. Gel coat gets carefully compounded and polished to eliminate oxidation and restore that showroom shine. Teak surfaces receive appropriate cleaning and conditioning treatments. Interior spaces get deep-cleaned with marine-grade products that eliminate moisture and prevent mold growth.
Protection is the final step. We apply marine-specific sealants or ceramic coatings designed to withstand salt air, UV exposure, and constant moisture. Your yacht leaves our care with months of protection built in, not just a temporary clean appearance.

Our comprehensive marine detailing covers every aspect of yacht maintenance that keeps your vessel in pristine condition. Exterior gel coat restoration eliminates oxidation and restores that deep, glossy finish. Interior detailing and reconditioning addresses moisture control, mold prevention, and deep cleaning of all cabin surfaces.
Wyandanch boat owners face unique challenges from Long Island Sound’s demanding marine environment. The combination of salt air, summer heat, and varying weather conditions requires specialized products and techniques that standard car detailing simply can’t provide.
Teak cleaning and conditioning services preserve your yacht’s natural wood surfaces using marine-specific treatments. We handle everything from light maintenance cleaning to complete teak restoration, always using methods that extend wood life rather than damage it. Moisture control and mold remediation services protect your interior investment, while ceramic coating applications provide long-lasting protection that reduces future maintenance needs.
Most Wyandanch yacht owners schedule professional detailing 2-4 times per boating season, but frequency really depends on usage and storage conditions. If you keep your boat in the water full-time, you’ll need more frequent attention because of constant salt exposure and marine growth.
Boats stored on trailers or in covered slips can often stretch longer between full details, but still need regular maintenance to prevent salt buildup and UV damage. A typical schedule includes comprehensive spring preparation, mid-season maintenance, and fall winterization services.
The key is staying ahead of problems. Regular professional care prevents minor issues from becoming expensive repairs. Waiting until oxidation is severe or teak has turned gray means more extensive (and costly) restoration work later.
Gel coat restoration is a multi-step process that brings back the deep, glossy finish your boat had when new. We start with thorough cleaning to remove all salt, dirt, and surface contamination that interferes with the restoration process.
The actual restoration involves carefully removing the oxidized layer through progressive compounding and polishing. This reveals fresh gel coat underneath and eliminates that chalky, faded appearance. The process requires marine-specific compounds and professional techniques—using automotive products or improper methods can actually damage gel coat permanently.
Final protection comes from high-quality marine sealants or ceramic coatings that shield the restored surface from future UV damage and oxidation. Most boats see dramatic improvement after just one professional restoration, with results lasting 6-12 months depending on usage and storage conditions.
Yes, we provide complete mobile boat detailing throughout the Wyandanch area. Whether your yacht is at a marina, private dock, or stored on your property, we bring all necessary equipment and supplies directly to your location.
Mobile service eliminates the hassle of coordinating boat transportation or working around marina schedules. We handle everything on-site while you focus on other priorities. Most services can be completed while you’re at work or handling other commitments.
Our mobile setup includes professional-grade pressure washing systems, compounding equipment, and a complete inventory of marine-specific products. We only need access to water and electricity within 100 feet of your vessel—everything else comes with our team.
Teak requires specialized care because it’s a natural wood that responds differently to various cleaning methods. We assess each teak surface individually—some need only light cleaning while others require more intensive restoration work.
For routine maintenance, we use gentle, eco-friendly teak cleaners that remove salt and dirt buildup without damaging wood fibers. Heavily weathered teak may need two-part cleaning systems or light sanding to remove the gray, oxidized surface layer and reveal fresh wood underneath.
After cleaning, we apply appropriate conditioning treatments or protective stains to maintain the wood’s natural beauty and extend its lifespan. The goal is always preservation—keeping your teak looking great while protecting your investment for years of enjoyment.
The choice depends on your maintenance preferences and budget. Traditional marine wax provides excellent protection and typically lasts 3-4 months with regular use. It’s cost-effective and delivers great results if you don’t mind reapplication several times per season.
Ceramic coating creates a semi-permanent protective layer lasting 4-6 times longer than wax. It provides superior protection against UV rays, oxidation, and water spots, plus makes routine cleaning much easier because dirt doesn’t adhere as strongly to treated surfaces.
Consider ceramic coating if you want reduced maintenance and maximum protection. Choose traditional wax if you prefer lower upfront costs and don’t mind more frequent reapplication. We can assess your specific situation and recommend the best option based on your boat’s usage and your maintenance goals.
Interior moisture control is critical for maintaining your boat’s condition and value, especially in Long Island’s humid climate. We use specialized marine products designed to eliminate existing mold and mildew while treating surfaces to prevent future growth.
Our interior detailing and reconditioning process includes deep cleaning of all cabin surfaces, ventilation assessment, and application of moisture-controlling treatments to fabrics, carpets, and upholstery. We also address often-overlooked areas like bilge spaces and behind-panel locations where moisture problems typically start.
Prevention is always better than remediation. We provide specific recommendations for ongoing moisture management between professional services, including ventilation improvements, dehumidification options, and seasonal storage preparations that keep your interior pristine year-round.
