Your boat stops looking tired and weathered. The gel coat regains its depth and clarity. Teak returns to that rich, natural blonde color. Metal fixtures shine without streaks or oxidation. Most importantly, you’re not just getting cosmetic improvements. You’re getting protection that prevents costly repairs down the road. UV damage, salt corrosion, and moisture intrusion—the things that destroy marine assets—get stopped before they start. When you see your boat after professional detailing, you remember why you bought it in the first place.

Boat Detailing Experts Midhampton

We Know What Your Boat Needs

Legacy Motors and Marine has been serving discerning boat owners throughout Midhampton and the greater Long Island area. We understand that your vessel isn’t just transportation—it’s a significant investment that deserves specialized care. Our team works with luxury boats and yachts daily. We know the difference between a quick wash and proper marine detailing. We understand the unique challenges that Long Island’s marine environment presents, from salt air to intense summer sun. Every service we provide is designed around one principle: protecting and preserving the value of your marine investment while keeping it looking its absolute best.

Professional Boat Detailing Process

Here's How We Restore Your Boat

First, we assess your boat’s current condition. Every vessel is different, and we tailor our approach based on what your specific boat needs—not some one-size-fits-all package. Next comes the detailed cleaning process. We use filtered water to prevent hard water spots, apply specialized marine-grade products, and work systematically from top to bottom. This isn’t a car wash. Every surface gets the attention it requires. Then we address the real work: oxidation removal, gel coat restoration, and protection application. We use professional-grade compounds and polishes, working in controlled sections to ensure consistent results. Finally, we apply marine-grade sealants or ceramic coatings that provide long-lasting protection against the elements. You get your boat back looking better than it has in years, with protection that keeps it that way.

Complete Marine Detailing Solutions

Our comprehensive boat detailing includes exterior washing, gel coat restoration, oxidation removal, and protective coating application. We also provide teak cleaning and conditioning, metal polishing, and interior detailing services. For Midhampton boat owners, we understand the specific challenges of Long Island marine conditions. The combination of salt air, intense summer sun, and variable weather conditions requires specialized products and techniques. We use marine-grade compounds specifically formulated for these conditions. Ceramic coating services provide the ultimate protection—lasting 12 to 18 months compared to traditional wax that needs reapplication every few months. For boats stored at local marinas like those near Montauk or Sag Harbor, this extended protection is particularly valuable given the harsh marine environment. We also offer mobile detailing services, bringing our expertise directly to your marina or storage location throughout the Midhampton area.

How often should I have my boat professionally detailed?

Most boat owners in the Midhampton area benefit from professional detailing twice per season—once in spring before launch and once mid-season. However, the frequency depends on how often you use your boat and where it’s stored. Boats kept in covered slips need less frequent detailing than those exposed to full sun and salt air. If you use your boat weekly during season, you’ll want more frequent maintenance washes between major details. For ceramic-coated boats, you can extend the time between full details since the coating provides superior protection. We typically recommend spring and fall comprehensive services with monthly maintenance washes during peak season.

Can you restore gel coat that looks chalky and faded?

Yes, in most cases we can restore gel coat that appears chalky, faded, or oxidized. The key is addressing the problem before the gel coat is completely worn through to the underlying fiberglass. Our restoration process involves multiple stages of compounding and polishing to remove the oxidized layer and reveal the fresh gel coat underneath. We use professional-grade marine compounds that are much more effective than consumer products. The process typically takes a full day for most boats, but the results are dramatic. Boats that looked tired and weathered emerge with deep, glossy finishes that look nearly new. We then apply protective coatings to prevent future oxidation.

Do you offer mobile boat detailing services?

Yes, we provide mobile detailing services throughout the Midhampton area and surrounding Long Island locations. We bring all necessary equipment, water, and supplies directly to your marina or storage location. Mobile service is particularly convenient for larger boats that are difficult to move, or for owners who prefer the convenience of having work done at their slip. We’re licensed and insured to work at most area marinas. The mobile service includes the same comprehensive detailing as our shop-based work. The only limitation is that some specialized equipment-intensive services like major gel coat restoration may need to be done at our facility.

What's the difference between regular wax and ceramic coating?

Regular marine wax typically lasts 3-4 months and requires frequent reapplication, especially in harsh marine environments. Ceramic coating provides 12-18 months of protection and creates a much harder, more durable surface. Ceramic coating bonds chemically with the gel coat, creating a protective layer that’s resistant to salt, UV rays, and environmental contaminants. It also makes routine cleaning much easier since dirt and grime don’t adhere as strongly to the surface. The initial investment in ceramic coating is higher, but it saves time and money over the long term. For boats used frequently in salt water around Midhampton and Long Island, ceramic coating provides superior protection and maintains appearance much longer than traditional wax.

Can you clean and restore teak decking?

Absolutely. Teak restoration is one of our specialized services. We use a multi-step process that removes gray weathering, mold, and dirt while bringing back the wood’s natural blonde color. Our process uses eco-friendly, non-acid cleaners that are safe for the marine environment. We avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the wood fibers or surrounding gel coat. After cleaning, we apply synthetic teak sealers that provide protection while maintaining the natural appearance. For severely weathered teak, we can perform wet sanding to remove damaged surface layers before cleaning and sealing. The results are dramatic—teak that looked gray and lifeless returns to rich, natural beauty that enhances your boat’s overall appearance.

How do you handle mold and moisture issues?

Mold and moisture control are critical for boats stored in Long Island’s humid marine environment. We use specialized products and techniques specifically designed for marine mold remediation and prevention. Our process includes thorough cleaning with antimicrobial solutions, proper ventilation assessment, and application of preventive treatments. We also identify and address the moisture sources that allow mold growth in the first place. For interior spaces, we use marine-grade products that eliminate existing mold while creating conditions that prevent regrowth. This is particularly important for boats stored during off-season when air circulation is limited and humidity levels remain high.
