Hear from Our Customers
You bought your yacht to enjoy time on the water, not spend weekends scrubbing gel coat. Our premium boat detailing services in Islandia handle the meticulous care your vessel deserves while you focus on what matters most.
Your boat faces constant assault from Long Island’s marine environment. Salt spray, UV rays, and moisture work around the clock to degrade your investment. Without proper protection, what should be relaxing weekends turn into maintenance marathons.
We eliminate that stress completely. Our ceramic coating and gel coat restoration services create a protective barrier that makes dirt and streaks wipe away effortlessly. You’ll pull up to the marina with a vessel that turns heads and holds its value.
Legacy Motors and Marine was founded on a simple principle: high-value assets deserve specialized care. Based in Port Jefferson Station and serving Islandia yacht owners, we understand that your boat represents more than transportation—it’s a significant investment and source of pride.
We’ve built our reputation serving collectors and enthusiasts who expect precision in every detail. Our facility and mobile services are designed around discretion, quality, and results that speak for themselves.
Long Island’s boating community knows the challenges of marine ownership. From the harsh saltwater environment to the seasonal demands of yacht maintenance, we’ve seen it all and solved it all.
We start with a comprehensive assessment of your vessel’s current condition. Every boat tells a story through its gel coat, teak, and interior surfaces. Our team identifies exactly what your yacht needs to return to peak condition.
Next comes the restoration phase. We use marine-grade compounds and polishes to eliminate oxidation and restore that deep, wet-look shine. For boats requiring more intensive work, we employ multi-stage processes that bring even severely weathered gel coat back to life.
The final step is protection. We apply ceramic coatings or premium sealants that create a semi-permanent barrier against the elements. This isn’t just about appearance—it’s about preserving your investment for years to come. You’ll notice the difference immediately when washing becomes effortless and your boat maintains its showroom appearance between services.

Our boat detailing services cover every aspect of marine vessel care. Exterior work includes gel coat restoration, ceramic coating application, and oxidation removal. We specialize in teak cleaning and conditioning, bringing weathered wood back to its original blonde beauty using eco-friendly, non-acid based cleaners.
Interior detailing addresses the unique challenges of marine environments. Long Island’s humidity creates perfect conditions for mold and mildew. Our moisture control and mold remediation services eliminate these problems while preventing future growth. We clean and condition all interior surfaces, from leather seating to carpet and upholstery.
Islandia boat owners appreciate our attention to the details that matter. We clean and polish all metal fixtures, treat glass surfaces for water repellency, and ensure every compartment is spotless. Our seasonal maintenance programs are particularly popular among yacht owners who want their vessels ready for immediate use whenever the mood strikes.
The frequency depends on how often you use your boat and where it’s stored. For boats kept in the water during Long Island’s boating season, we recommend professional detailing every 3-4 months with monthly maintenance washes in between.
If your yacht is stored on land or in covered slips, twice-yearly detailing is typically sufficient. However, boats exposed to salt water need more frequent attention because salt accelerates oxidation and corrosion. Our seasonal maintenance programs are designed specifically for Long Island conditions, with spring prep, mid-season touch-ups, and fall winterization services.
Traditional marine wax provides 3-6 months of protection and requires regular reapplication. Ceramic coating, on the other hand, creates a semi-permanent protective layer that can last 2-3 years with proper maintenance.
Ceramic coating is like putting a clear coat on your car—it makes cleaning dramatically easier because dirt and streaks wipe off with minimal effort. It also provides superior protection against UV rays, salt water, and environmental contaminants. While the initial investment is higher, ceramic coating actually saves money over time by reducing maintenance frequency and preserving your gel coat’s condition.
Yes, we specialize in gel coat restoration for boats with severe oxidation. Heavy oxidation appears as a chalky, dull surface that makes your boat look aged and neglected. Our multi-stage restoration process can bring even heavily oxidized gel coat back to life.
We start with aggressive compounds to cut through the oxidation, then progress through finer polishes to restore clarity and depth. The process requires expertise to avoid damaging the gel coat while removing years of environmental damage. Most boats respond dramatically to professional restoration, often looking better than they have in years. We follow up with protective coatings to prevent the oxidation from returning.
Absolutely. We understand that convenience is crucial for busy yacht owners. Our mobile detailing services bring professional-grade equipment and products directly to your marina, dock, or storage facility in Islandia and throughout Long Island.
Mobile service is particularly popular for routine maintenance and minor restoration work. For more intensive projects requiring specialized equipment, we may recommend bringing your boat to our Port Jefferson Station facility. Either way, we work around your schedule and provide the same meticulous attention to detail. Many of our clients prefer mobile service because they can oversee the work and ask questions throughout the process.
Our teak care service is a comprehensive three-step process designed to restore your teak’s natural beauty while protecting it from Long Island’s harsh marine environment. We start with specialized, non-acid based cleaners that eliminate mold, dirt, and gray weathering without damaging the wood fibers.
The second step involves brightening the wood to restore that beautiful blonde color teak is famous for. Finally, we apply a synthetic teak sealer that protects against moisture, UV damage, and future staining. For severely weathered teak, we offer wet sanding services to remove damaged surface layers before beginning the restoration process. The results are dramatic—your teak will look like it did when your boat was new.
Mold and moisture are serious concerns for any boat owner, especially in Long Island’s humid climate. Our mold remediation process begins with identifying the source of moisture intrusion—whether it’s poor ventilation, leaks, or condensation issues.
We use professional-grade products and techniques to eliminate existing mold growth safely and completely. This includes treating affected surfaces, cleaning air circulation systems, and addressing any underlying moisture problems. We also recommend preventive measures like improved ventilation, moisture absorbers, and regular inspections. Our goal isn’t just to clean up current problems but to prevent them from recurring so you can enjoy your boat without health concerns.
