Your boat isn’t just transportation—it’s a significant investment that deserves professional care. When you choose expert boat detailing, you’re not just getting a clean vessel. You’re getting protection against Long Island’s harsh marine environment, from salt spray to UV damage.
Professional detailing extends your boat’s lifespan and maintains its resale value. Every surface gets the attention it needs: gel coat restoration that brings back that factory shine, interior deep cleaning that eliminates moisture and prevents mold, and protective treatments that shield against future damage.
You’ll step aboard knowing your vessel looks and feels exactly as it should—pristine, protected, and ready for your next adventure on the water.
We at Legacy Motors and Marine bring specialized expertise to boat detailing in Mastic Beach and throughout Long Island. We understand that your yacht or luxury vessel requires more than standard cleaning—it needs precision care from professionals who know marine surfaces, materials, and the unique challenges of our coastal environment.
Our team has worked with everything from weekend fishing boats to million-dollar yachts. We’ve seen what happens when boats get subpar care, and we’ve perfected our process to deliver the level of service that matches your investment.
Located in Port Jefferson Station, we serve boat owners throughout the Mastic Beach area who refuse to settle for ordinary maintenance. Your vessel gets the same meticulous attention whether it’s stored with us year-round or brought in for seasonal detailing.
We start with a complete assessment of your vessel’s condition, identifying areas that need special attention—whether that’s gel coat oxidation, teak that needs conditioning, or interior surfaces showing wear from moisture exposure.
Our exterior process includes multi-stage cleaning, paint correction where needed, and protective treatments that shield against UV rays and salt damage. We pay special attention to gel coat restoration, bringing back that deep shine and smooth finish that makes your boat look like it just left the showroom.
Interior detailing goes beyond surface cleaning. We address moisture control issues that can lead to mold and mildew, deep clean all surfaces and fabrics, and apply protective treatments that keep everything looking fresh. Every detail matters, from polished hardware to spotless upholstery.
The result is a vessel that’s not just clean—it’s protected, preserved, and ready to impress whether you’re heading out for a day on the water or showing it to potential buyers.

Our boat detailing services cover every aspect of marine care. Exterior services include gel coat restoration, oxidation removal, waxing and polishing, hardware cleaning and protection, and specialized treatments for different surface materials. We handle everything from fiberglass to aluminum to teak decking.
Interior detailing addresses the unique challenges of marine environments. We provide deep cleaning for all surfaces, moisture control and mold remediation, upholstery and carpet cleaning, and protective treatments that prevent future damage. Our team knows how to work with marine-grade materials and understands the importance of proper ventilation and moisture management.
For Mastic Beach boat owners, we also offer seasonal preparation services—getting your vessel ready for winter storage or preparing it for the upcoming boating season. This includes thorough cleaning, protective treatments, and addressing any maintenance issues we discover during the detailing process.
Every service is customized based on your vessel’s specific needs, age, and materials. We don’t use a one-size-fits-all approach because we know that a vintage wooden yacht requires different care than a modern fiberglass sport boat.
Most boat owners benefit from professional detailing twice per year—once before the season starts and once before winter storage. However, the frequency depends on how often you use your vessel and where it’s stored.
If your boat stays in the water all season, you’ll want more frequent attention to address salt buildup and prevent oxidation. Boats stored on trailers or in covered slips can often go longer between detailed cleanings, but they still need regular care to maintain their condition and value.
We recommend at minimum an annual comprehensive detailing, with additional services as needed based on your boat’s exposure to the elements and your usage patterns.
The timeline varies based on your vessel’s size and condition, but most boats take 1-2 full days for complete detailing. Smaller boats under 25 feet typically require 6-8 hours, while larger yachts can take several days.
We don’t rush the process because proper detailing can’t be hurried. Gel coat restoration, for example, requires multiple steps and adequate drying time between applications. Interior work needs time for thorough cleaning and proper ventilation.
When you schedule service, we’ll give you a realistic timeframe based on your specific vessel and the services needed. We’d rather underpromise and deliver early than leave you waiting longer than expected.
Gel coat restoration is a multi-step process that brings back your boat’s original shine and smoothness. We start by assessing the level of oxidation and any surface damage, then use progressive compounds to remove oxidation, scratches, and stains.
The process typically includes wet sanding for heavily oxidized areas, multiple stages of compounding and polishing, and final protective treatments. For boats with significant oxidation, we may need to work through several grades of compound to achieve the best results.
The final step involves applying high-quality marine wax or ceramic coating to protect the restored surface. This not only provides that deep, glossy finish but also helps prevent future oxidation and makes regular cleaning much easier.
Yes, moisture control is a critical part of our marine detailing services, especially for boats stored in humid Long Island conditions. Mold and mildew can quickly become serious problems in marine environments, affecting both the boat’s condition and the health of anyone aboard.
Our process includes identifying moisture sources, treating existing mold and mildew with marine-safe products, and implementing prevention strategies. This might involve improving ventilation, addressing leaks, or recommending dehumidification solutions for storage.
We use specialized cleaning products designed for marine environments that eliminate mold and mildew without damaging surfaces or leaving harmful residues. Prevention is just as important as treatment, so we’ll also advise you on maintaining proper moisture levels and ventilation.
Absolutely. We provide detailing services for boats whether they’re stored on trailers, in dry storage, or kept in slips. Working on boats in the water requires different techniques and equipment, but we’re fully equipped to handle waterside detailing.
For boats in slips, we bring specialized equipment and work carefully to protect the marina environment. We use eco-friendly products and containment systems to prevent any cleaning materials from entering the water. Some services, like hull cleaning below the waterline, may require hauling the boat or working with divers.
We coordinate with marina management when necessary and ensure all work meets environmental regulations. The key is proper planning and using the right techniques for waterside work while maintaining the same quality standards as our facility-based services.
Regular cleaning removes surface dirt and grime, but professional detailing addresses the underlying issues that affect your boat’s condition and value. While a basic wash might make your boat look clean, it won’t remove oxidation, restore faded gel coat, or address moisture problems that can lead to serious damage.
Professional detailing involves specialized products and techniques designed specifically for marine environments. We use compounds and polishes that remove oxidation and scratches, not just surface dirt. Our interior work addresses moisture control, mold prevention, and proper treatment of marine fabrics and surfaces.
The investment in professional detailing pays off through better appearance, longer-lasting surfaces, and maintained resale value. It’s the difference between temporary cleaning and actual preservation of your investment.
