You’ll see the difference immediately. That chalky, faded gel coat transforms into a deep, mirror-like finish that turns heads at every marina. The oxidation that’s been eating away at your boat’s value disappears, replaced by protection that lasts months longer than basic waxing.
Your teak returns to that rich, blonde color you remember from when the boat was new. Salt stains vanish from metal fittings. Even the interior smells fresh again, free from the musty odors that develop in marine environments.
Most importantly, you’re not just getting cosmetic improvements. You’re getting real protection against UV damage, saltwater corrosion, and the environmental factors that turn expensive repairs into inevitable headaches. This isn’t about making your boat look good for a weekend—it’s about preserving what you’ve invested in.
We bring the same precision and care to boat detailing that we’ve built our reputation on with exotic car storage and marine services. We understand that your vessel isn’t just transportation—it’s a significant investment that deserves specialized attention.
Located in Port Jefferson Station, we’ve been serving Great River Station and the greater Long Island boating community with the kind of detailed, professional service that high-value asset owners expect. We’re not the guys who show up with a bucket and some soap. We’re the team that understands gel coat chemistry, knows the difference between carnauba and ceramic protection, and treats your boat like the valuable asset it is.
Our facility maintains the same climate-controlled, security-focused standards we use for exotic vehicles. When we work on your boat, whether at our location or yours, you’re getting the benefit of that same commitment to preservation and excellence.
We start with a thorough assessment of your boat’s current condition. This isn’t a quick glance—we’re looking at gel coat oxidation levels, checking for salt damage on metal components, evaluating teak condition, and identifying any areas that need special attention.
Next comes the deep cleaning phase. We remove all surface contaminants, salt buildup, and environmental pollutants that regular washing misses. This includes cleaning inside hatches, removing black streaks, and addressing any mildew or moisture issues in the interior.
The restoration work follows. Depending on your boat’s needs, this might involve multi-stage compounding to remove oxidation, gel coat correction, metal polishing, and teak cleaning with specialized marine-grade products. We use the least aggressive methods that will achieve the results you need.
Finally, we apply protection. Whether that’s premium polymer sealants, ceramic coatings, or traditional carnauba wax depends on your boat’s use patterns and your protection goals. We finish with a complete interior detail, ensuring every surface is clean, protected, and ready for your next time on the water.

Our boat detailing services cover everything from routine maintenance washing to complete restoration projects. You get gel coat restoration using professional-grade compounds and multi-stage polishing systems. Teak cleaning and conditioning brings back that natural wood beauty without harsh acids that damage the grain.
Interior services include moisture control, mold remediation, and deep cleaning of all surfaces, compartments, and upholstery. We handle vinyl conditioning, carpet cleaning, and the detailed work that keeps your boat’s interior looking and smelling fresh.
For Great River Station boat owners, we understand the specific challenges of Long Island waters. The salt air, UV exposure, and marine growth that’s common in our area require specialized approaches. We use ceramic coatings that provide superior UV protection and make future cleaning easier. Our metal polishing services address the corrosion issues that saltwater environments create.
Mobile service is available throughout the Great River Station area. We come to your marina, dock, or storage facility with all the equipment and products needed to complete the work on-site. No need to arrange transportation or worry about scheduling around hauling—we work where your boat is.
Most boat owners in Great River Station benefit from professional detailing twice per season—once in spring preparation and once mid-season. If you keep your boat in saltwater or use it frequently, quarterly detailing provides better protection against the accelerated wear that Long Island’s marine environment creates.
The key factor is usage and storage conditions. Boats stored outdoors need more frequent attention than those in covered slips. If you’re seeing water spots that won’t wash off, black streaks, or that chalky appearance on gel coat, it’s time for professional attention regardless of your last service date.
Weekly or bi-weekly maintenance washes between professional details help extend the protection and keep your boat looking its best. These aren’t full details, but they prevent the buildup of salt and contaminants that make the next professional detailing more intensive and expensive.
Regular washing removes surface dirt and salt but doesn’t address the oxidation, water spots, and embedded contaminants that develop over time. Professional detailing involves multi-stage processes that actually restore your boat’s surfaces rather than just cleaning them.
We use specialized compounds to remove oxidation from gel coat, professional-grade polishes to restore shine, and protective sealants or ceramic coatings that last months longer than basic wax. The interior work includes moisture control, mold treatment, and deep cleaning of areas that regular washing never touches.
The difference is most obvious in the results. After professional detailing, your boat’s gel coat has that deep, wet look that you can’t achieve with soap and water. Colors appear more vibrant, and the protection lasts significantly longer. You’re also getting preventive care that helps avoid expensive repairs down the road.
Yes, even heavily oxidized gel coat can usually be restored to excellent condition with the right techniques and products. The process involves progressively finer abrasives to remove the damaged surface layer and reveal the healthy gel coat underneath.
We start with the least aggressive compound that will achieve results, then work through finer polishes to eliminate any marks from the restoration process. Severe cases might require wet sanding before compounding, but most boats respond well to professional-grade compounds and multi-stage polishing.
The key is proper technique and knowing when to stop. Over-aggressive restoration can thin the gel coat unnecessarily. Our experience with marine surfaces means we can achieve maximum restoration while preserving the integrity of your boat’s finish. Even boats that look beyond help often surprise owners with how much of their original appearance can be recovered.
Yes, we provide full mobile detailing services throughout Great River Station and the surrounding Long Island area. We bring all necessary equipment, water supply, and professional products directly to your marina, dock, or storage facility.
Mobile service includes the same comprehensive detailing we provide at our facility—gel coat restoration, interior cleaning, teak care, and protective coatings. We’re equipped to handle boats up to yacht size at your location, and we coordinate with marina management to ensure we comply with all facility requirements.
The convenience factor is significant for boat owners. No need to arrange hauling or coordinate transportation schedules. We work around your availability and your boat’s location. Many of our Great River Station clients prefer mobile service because it eliminates the logistics of moving their vessel and allows them to be present during the work if they choose.
Ceramic coatings provide the longest-lasting protection for boats in saltwater environments, typically lasting 12-18 months with proper care. These coatings create a semi-permanent barrier that resists salt corrosion, UV damage, and water spotting better than traditional waxes.
The hydrophobic properties of ceramic coatings make cleaning easier and help prevent salt buildup that leads to staining and corrosion. They also provide superior UV protection, which is crucial for maintaining gel coat integrity in our Long Island sun exposure.
For boats that see heavy use or extreme conditions, we sometimes recommend layered protection—ceramic coating as the base with periodic polymer sealant applications. Traditional carnauba wax still has its place for boats seeking maximum gloss, but it requires more frequent reapplication. The choice depends on your usage patterns, storage conditions, and maintenance preferences.
Interior moisture and mold require specialized treatment beyond surface cleaning. We use professional-grade anti-microbial products designed for marine environments, along with proper ventilation techniques to ensure thorough treatment of affected areas.
The process starts with identifying moisture sources—whether from leaks, condensation, or inadequate ventilation. We treat affected surfaces with appropriate cleaners, then apply protective products that help prevent future mold growth. Severe cases might require removing and replacing soft goods like cushions or carpeting.
Prevention is equally important. We check ventilation systems, recommend improvements where needed, and apply moisture-resistant treatments to vulnerable surfaces. Our goal isn’t just removing existing problems but creating conditions that prevent recurrence. Proper interior detailing in marine environments requires understanding how moisture behaves in boats and using products specifically formulated for these challenging conditions.
