You get your boat back looking exactly like it should—pristine, protected, and ready to turn heads on the water. No more chalky gel coat, no more faded surfaces that scream neglect.
Your investment stays valuable. That’s what matters when you’ve got serious money tied up in a vessel that should appreciate, not deteriorate from salt air and UV damage.
The difference shows immediately. Clean lines, restored luster, and surfaces that actually repel water instead of absorbing every bit of grime that comes their way.
Legacy Motors and Marine has been protecting high-value assets in Greenlawn and throughout Long Island for years. We’re the team that luxury boat owners trust when their investment needs more than a basic wash.
Greenlawn’s marine community knows that saltwater, sun, and time don’t wait. Neither do we. Our facility handles everything from routine maintenance to complete restoration, all designed around one goal: keeping your boat in the condition it deserves.
We work with owners who understand that proper care isn’t an expense—it’s protection for what you’ve already invested.
First, we assess your boat’s current condition. Every vessel tells a different story, and we need to know what we’re working with before we start. Oxidation levels, gel coat condition, interior wear—all of it gets evaluated.
Next comes the restoration process. We remove oxidation using multi-stage compounding, address any gel coat issues, and handle the detail work that most places skip. Teak gets properly cleaned and conditioned. Metal gets polished. Every surface gets the attention it needs.
Finally, protection. Whether that’s premium marine wax, ceramic coating, or specialized sealants, we apply the right protection for your specific boat and how you use it. You get your boat back better than when you brought it in, with protection that actually lasts.

Gel coat restoration brings back that deep, mirror-like finish you remember from when your boat was new. We remove oxidation, eliminate scratches, and restore the color depth that UV exposure steals over time.
Interior detailing goes beyond basic cleaning. Moisture control prevents mold and mildew problems that plague boats in Long Island’s humid climate. Upholstery gets properly treated, not just wiped down.
Teak cleaning and conditioning uses the right products and techniques to restore natural wood without damage. Most boat owners don’t realize that improper teak care actually accelerates deterioration. We handle it correctly the first time.
Ceramic coating provides the longest-lasting protection available—up to 18 months of defense against saltwater, UV rays, and environmental contamination. It’s the premium choice for owners who want maximum protection with minimal maintenance.
Most boat owners in the Long Island area need professional detailing every 3-4 months during boating season, with a comprehensive detail at the start and end of each year. Boats kept in saltwater or used frequently may need attention every 6-8 weeks.
The key factor is protection, not just appearance. Once your wax or sealant starts breaking down, your gel coat becomes vulnerable to oxidation and UV damage. Regular maintenance prevents the expensive restoration work that comes from neglect.
If you’re seeing water spots that won’t wash off or noticing a chalky appearance on your gel coat, you’ve already waited too long. Those are signs that the protective layer has failed and damage is starting.
Traditional marine wax lasts 3-4 months and requires regular reapplication. Ceramic coating creates a semi-permanent protective layer that lasts 12-18 months with proper care, providing superior protection against oxidation, UV damage, and saltwater exposure.
Ceramic coating also makes ongoing maintenance much easier. Dirt, salt, and grime wash off more easily, and you won’t need to wax between applications. The initial cost is higher, but the long-term protection and reduced maintenance make it cost-effective for serious boat owners.
The performance difference is significant. Ceramic coating provides up to 35% more gloss than traditional wax and offers better resistance to environmental damage. For boats in saltwater or high-UV environments like Long Island, it’s often the better choice.
Yes, we specialize in oxidation removal using multi-stage compounding and polishing techniques. Heavy oxidation requires aggressive treatment initially, followed by progressively finer polishing to restore the original luster and depth.
The process involves removing the damaged gel coat layer to reveal the healthy material underneath. This requires experience and the right equipment—improper technique can actually make oxidation worse or damage the gel coat permanently.
Once we’ve removed the oxidation, we apply protective coatings to prevent it from returning. Without proper protection, oxidation will come back within months. The key is not just removing what’s there, but preventing future damage.
Yes, we provide concierge-style pickup and delivery service for boat owners throughout the Greenlawn area. This eliminates the hassle of transporting your boat to our facility, especially for larger vessels that require special arrangements.
Our team handles all the logistics, from coordinating with marinas to ensuring proper transport protocols. Your boat gets the same premium care whether you bring it to us or we come to you.
This service is particularly valuable for yacht owners who keep their vessels at different locations or prefer the convenience of professional handling. We understand that your time is valuable, and our pickup service reflects that.
Interior detailing includes deep cleaning of all surfaces, upholstery treatment, carpet cleaning, and comprehensive mold and mildew removal. We also address moisture control issues that can cause ongoing problems in Long Island’s humid climate.
Moisture control involves identifying and treating areas where water intrusion occurs, improving ventilation, and applying treatments that prevent mold and mildew growth. This is crucial for maintaining both appearance and air quality inside your boat.
We use specialized products designed for marine environments, not household cleaners that can damage boat interiors. Leather gets properly conditioned, fabrics receive appropriate treatment, and all surfaces are protected against future moisture problems.
Proper teak care requires a three-step process using marine-specific cleaners that remove dirt and mold without damaging the wood. We avoid acid-based cleaners that can harm teak fibers and instead use eco-friendly products designed for marine wood.
The process starts with gentle cleaning to remove surface grime, followed by brightening to restore the natural blonde color, and finishing with synthetic teak sealer for protection. Severely weathered teak may require careful sanding before treatment.
Most boat owners don’t realize that improper teak cleaning actually accelerates deterioration. Harsh chemicals or incorrect techniques can damage the wood permanently. Our approach restores teak safely while providing long-term protection against salt air and UV exposure.
