Absolutely, especially for boats in saltwater environments. Marine ceramic coatings provide essential protection against salt spray, UV damage, and the constant moisture that accelerates deterioration of gel coat and painted surfaces.
Saltwater is incredibly corrosive and will break down traditional waxes and sealants in weeks, not months. Marine-specific ceramic coatings are formulated to handle these harsh conditions and maintain their protective properties for years. The hydrophobic surface also makes it much harder for salt, algae, and other contaminants to bond to your hull.
For yacht owners in the Long Island area, ceramic coating is particularly valuable because of our exposure to both saltwater and intense summer UV. The coating prevents oxidation, fading, and the chalky appearance that develops on unprotected gel coat over time.
