Your boat stays protected from salt corrosion and oxidation that destroy gel coat finishes. No more costly repainting jobs or declining resale values.
Interior surfaces remain mold-free and pristine, even in humid marine environments. Teak surfaces maintain their natural beauty without cracking or graying.
You get back to enjoying your time on the water instead of worrying about maintenance schedules and cleaning products that might damage expensive surfaces.
Legacy Motors and Marine has been serving discerning boat owners throughout the Hamptons and Long Island region. We understand that your yacht represents a significant investment that demands specialized care.
Our facility in Port Jefferson Station was built specifically for high-value assets. We don’t treat every boat the same because not every boat is the same.
The Napeague area’s unique marine environment—with its salt air, humidity, and seasonal weather patterns—requires expertise that goes beyond standard cleaning. We’ve developed our processes specifically for these conditions.
We start with a thorough assessment of your boat’s current condition and specific needs. Every vessel gets a customized approach based on its materials, age, and exposure level.
Our exterior process includes gel coat restoration, salt damage removal, and protective coating application. We use marine-specific products that won’t damage expensive finishes or leave residue.
Interior work focuses on moisture control, mold prevention, and surface conditioning. Teak areas receive specialized cleaning and conditioning to maintain their natural oils and prevent weathering.
We finish with protective treatments designed for the marine environment. You get detailed documentation of all work performed and recommendations for ongoing maintenance.

Our boat detailing includes gel coat restoration that brings back original luster and provides long-term protection against UV damage and oxidation. We handle everything from minor surface correction to full reconditioning.
Interior services cover upholstery cleaning, carpet care, and comprehensive mold remediation. We use specialized equipment for moisture control that prevents future growth.
Teak cleaning and conditioning preserves natural wood beauty while protecting against salt damage and weathering. Our process maintains the wood’s integrity without harsh chemicals that can cause long-term damage.
In the Napeague area, boats face unique challenges from Atlantic salt spray and high humidity levels. Our ceramic coating applications provide superior protection that traditional waxes simply can’t match in this environment.
In the Napeague marine environment, most luxury boats benefit from professional detailing every 4-6 weeks during active season. The salt air and humidity here are particularly aggressive on gel coat and interior surfaces.
For boats stored outdoors year-round, we recommend monthly service to prevent oxidation buildup. Indoor stored vessels can often go 6-8 weeks between full details, though we still recommend bi-weekly maintenance washes.
The key is consistent care rather than waiting until problems become visible. Once salt damage or mold takes hold, restoration becomes significantly more expensive than prevention.
Traditional marine wax provides 2-3 months of protection and requires frequent reapplication. It’s adequate for basic protection but breaks down quickly in harsh marine conditions like we have here.
Ceramic coating creates a semi-permanent protective layer that lasts 2-3 years with proper maintenance. It provides superior protection against salt, UV rays, and oxidation while making future cleaning much easier.
For boats in the Napeague area, ceramic coating is often the better investment. The initial cost is higher, but you save money long-term through reduced maintenance needs and better protection against costly damage.
Yes, we specialize in gel coat restoration for boats with varying degrees of oxidation damage. Our process involves multiple stages of compounding and polishing to remove oxidation and restore original luster.
Minor oxidation can usually be corrected in a single session. Heavy oxidation or chalking may require multiple treatments, but we can typically restore gel coat to near-original condition without repainting.
After restoration, we apply protective coatings to prevent future oxidation. Most boats see dramatic improvement, though severely neglected gel coat may have some limitations that we’ll discuss upfront.
Absolutely. Mold is a serious issue in marine environments, especially with the humidity levels we see in the Napeague area. We use professional-grade equipment and EPA-approved treatments to eliminate existing mold and prevent regrowth.
Our process includes identifying moisture sources, treating affected areas, and implementing prevention measures. We also handle upholstery, carpeting, and ventilation system cleaning as needed.
Prevention is crucial because mold can cause health issues and seriously damage interior materials. We often recommend ongoing moisture control treatments for boats stored in humid conditions.
We use marine-specific teak cleaners and conditioners that are designed for the salt-water environment. These products clean without over-drying the wood or removing essential natural oils.
Our teak restoration process typically involves a three-step cleaning system that removes dirt and mildew while preserving the wood’s integrity. We avoid harsh acids that can damage wood fibers over time.
For ongoing maintenance, we apply conditioners that protect against UV damage and salt exposure while maintaining the wood’s natural appearance. The goal is preservation, not just cleaning.
Yes, we offer flexible scheduling and can work at your marina, yacht club, or private dock throughout the Napeague and East Hampton areas. We bring all necessary equipment and supplies to your location.
We understand that boat owners have busy schedules and specific timing needs, especially during peak season. We can arrange work during weekdays when you’re not using the boat, or coordinate around your boating plans.
For regular maintenance customers, we can establish a schedule that works with your routine and ensures your boat is always ready when you want to use it. No need to disrupt your plans for boat care.
