Your boat doesn’t just get cleaned—it gets protected. Every surface treated with marine-grade products that understand salt air, UV exposure, and the unique demands of watercraft ownership.
You’ll see gel coat that looks factory-fresh, not oxidized and chalky. Teak that’s properly conditioned, not cracked and gray. Interiors that smell clean and fresh, not musty or moldy.
This isn’t about making your boat look good for a weekend. It’s about maintaining the condition that preserves resale value and keeps your investment performing at its peak.
Legacy Motors and Marine specializes in premium care for high-value assets. Based in Port Jefferson Station and serving North Amityville boat owners, we understand that your vessel represents more than transportation—it’s a significant investment.
Long Island’s marine environment is tough on boats. Salt air, UV exposure, and humidity create challenges that generic detailing services simply don’t understand. We do.
Our climate-controlled facility and marine-specific expertise ensure your boat receives the level of care that matches its caliber, not just surface-level cleaning that misses the details that matter.
First, we assess your boat’s specific needs—gel coat condition, teak status, interior moisture levels, and any problem areas that need attention. Every vessel is different, and cookie-cutter approaches don’t work.
Next, we move your boat to our climate-controlled environment where temperature and humidity won’t interfere with product application and curing. This isn’t just about comfort—it’s about chemistry working correctly.
The detailing process uses marine-grade products designed for saltwater exposure and UV protection. Gel coat gets proper correction and protection, teak receives appropriate cleaning and conditioning, and interiors get deep cleaning with moisture control treatment. You get your boat back in showroom condition, protected for the season ahead.

Your boat detailing service includes complete exterior gel coat cleaning, correction, and protection. Interior deep cleaning addresses upholstery, carpets, and all surfaces with marine-specific products that prevent mold and mildew.
Teak cleaning and conditioning brings back natural color while providing UV protection. Metal hardware gets proper cleaning and corrosion protection. All surfaces receive appropriate marine coatings designed for Long Island’s harsh coastal environment.
North Amityville boat owners face unique challenges—proximity to Great South Bay means constant salt exposure, while summer heat and humidity create perfect conditions for mold growth. Our process specifically addresses these local environmental factors, ensuring your vessel stays protected between services.
Most boat owners in North Amityville benefit from professional detailing twice per season—once for spring commissioning and once for winterization. However, frequency depends on usage and storage conditions.
Boats kept in saltwater slips need more frequent attention than those in freshwater or dry storage. Heavy use, especially fishing or entertaining, also increases detailing needs due to additional wear and contamination.
If you notice gel coat looking chalky, teak turning gray, or musty odors in the cabin, it’s time for professional attention regardless of your normal schedule.
Boat washing removes surface dirt and salt but doesn’t address the deeper issues that affect your vessel’s condition and value. Marine detailing treats the underlying problems that basic washing can’t fix.
Professional detailing includes gel coat correction to remove oxidation, proper teak treatment that goes beyond surface cleaning, and interior work that addresses moisture control and mold prevention. It’s the difference between making your boat look clean and actually protecting your investment.
Generic car wash products can actually damage marine surfaces. Proper marine detailing uses products specifically formulated for fiberglass, gel coat, and marine hardware that can handle saltwater exposure and UV damage.
Yes, gel coat restoration is one of our specialties. Oxidation makes gel coat appear chalky and faded, but in most cases, the damage is only surface-deep and can be corrected through proper compound and polish techniques.
The process involves removing the oxidized layer through careful compounding, then polishing to restore gloss, followed by protective coating application. Severe cases may require wet sanding before compounding, but most boats respond well to correction.
Results depend on gel coat thickness and oxidation severity. Boats that have been neglected for years may have limitations, but even heavily oxidized gel coat usually shows dramatic improvement with professional restoration.
Yes, we offer concierge pickup and delivery service for North Amityville boat owners. This eliminates the hassle of trailering your boat to our facility, especially for larger vessels or owners without suitable towing vehicles.
Our transport team understands proper boat handling procedures and insurance requirements. We coordinate pickup timing around your schedule and weather conditions to ensure safe transport both ways.
Pickup and delivery service is particularly valuable for yacht owners who prefer discreet service without the complexity of moving their vessel. We handle all logistics so you can focus on enjoying your boat rather than maintaining it.
We use marine-grade teak cleaners and conditioners specifically formulated for saltwater environments. These products clean without over-bleaching and condition without creating surfaces that attract dirt.
The process typically involves a two-step cleaning system that removes stains and gray oxidation, followed by conditioning that restores natural oils and provides UV protection. We avoid harsh bleaches that can damage teak fibers over time.
Product selection depends on your teak’s current condition and your preferences for natural versus maintained appearance. Some owners prefer the weathered gray look, while others want the golden brown of freshly conditioned teak. We adjust our approach accordingly.
Moisture control starts with proper cleaning using products that eliminate existing mold spores and prevent new growth. We treat all fabric surfaces, carpets, and hidden areas where moisture typically accumulates.
Our process includes antimicrobial treatment of upholstery and carpets, plus application of moisture-absorbing products in lockers and storage areas. We also check and clean ventilation systems that help maintain air circulation.
Prevention is key—we recommend moisture absorbers and ventilation fans for boats stored in humid Long Island conditions. Regular professional cleaning removes the organic matter that feeds mold growth, keeping your cabin fresh and healthy.
