Hear from Our Customers
Your gel coat gleams like the day you bought it. No more chalky oxidation, no more embarrassing water spots at the dock. The teak looks rich and protected, not gray and weathered.
Every surface—from the hull to the smallest hardware—reflects the care of someone who actually understands what salt air and UV rays do to a $200,000+ investment. You pull up to the marina and other owners notice.
Your boat doesn’t just look detailed. It looks maintained by people who know the difference between a quick wash and real preservation.
Legacy Motors and Marine isn’t your typical detailing service. We’ve built our reputation in the North Lindenhurst marine community by focusing on what luxury boat owners actually need: protection, precision, and results that last.
Located near some of Long Island’s most prestigious marinas, we understand the standards expected by yacht owners who view their vessels as serious investments. Our climate-controlled facility and specialized processes reflect the same attention to detail that goes into the boats themselves.
When you’ve spent six figures on a yacht, you want service from people who treat it like the asset it is—not just another boat to wash and wax.
First, we assess your boat’s specific needs—gel coat condition, teak status, hardware oxidation, and interior moisture issues. No cookie-cutter approach because every yacht faces different challenges based on how and where you use it.
The actual detailing starts with filtered water systems that prevent the hard water staining that ruins so many “professional” details. We remove oxidation through multi-stage compounding, not just cover it with wax that’ll be gone in two months.
Teak gets treated with non-acid cleaners that eliminate mold without damaging the wood. Metal surfaces receive proper polishing, not just a quick spray-and-wipe. The interior gets moisture control treatment because we know Long Island’s humidity creates problems that basic cleaning can’t solve.
The final step is protection—ceramic coatings where appropriate, premium sealants that actually last, and moisture barriers that keep your investment safe between services.
Ready to get started?
Gel coat restoration that removes oxidation and restores the original luster—not just covers problems with temporary shine. Multi-stage compounding when needed, followed by polymer sealants that provide lasting protection against Long Island’s marine environment.
Teak cleaning and conditioning using specialized, eco-friendly processes that bring back the natural blonde color without harsh acids that damage the wood over time. Complete moisture control and mold remediation for interior surfaces, because North Lindenhurst’s coastal humidity creates problems that standard cleaning can’t address.
Professional ceramic coating application for maximum protection—the kind of treatment that makes dirt and salt spray wash off easily for months. Metal polishing that actually prevents corrosion, not just makes things shiny for a few weeks.
Every service includes filtered water washing to prevent hard water staining, thorough compartment cleaning, and detailed attention to the small things that separate real marine detailing from basic boat washing.
The timeline depends on your boat’s size and condition, but most full detailing services take 1-3 days. A 30-foot yacht in decent condition typically needs a full day for comprehensive exterior and interior work. Larger vessels or boats requiring gel coat restoration can take 2-3 days.
We don’t rush the process because shortcuts show up quickly on the water. Proper compounding, polishing, and protection application takes time to do correctly. We’d rather schedule appropriately than deliver work that doesn’t last through the season.
Traditional wax provides 2-3 months of protection and needs frequent reapplication, especially in saltwater environments. Ceramic coating creates a semi-permanent protective layer that lasts 4-6 times longer with proper maintenance.
Ceramic coating makes cleaning dramatically easier—salt spray and dirt wash off with minimal effort instead of requiring scrubbing. The initial investment is higher, but the long-term protection and reduced maintenance make it cost-effective for boats used regularly in Long Island waters.
The coating also provides superior UV protection, which is crucial for preventing gel coat oxidation and interior fading from our intense summer sun.
We use a three-step cleaning process with non-acid based cleaners specifically formulated for marine teak. Acid-based products might look effective initially, but they actually damage the wood fibers and accelerate future deterioration.
Our process eliminates mold and dirt buildup while preserving the wood’s natural oils and integrity. We follow cleaning with appropriate conditioning treatments that protect against Long Island’s humidity and salt air exposure.
For severely weathered teak, we can perform light sanding before the cleaning process, but we always aim for the least aggressive approach that achieves lasting results. The goal is restoration that extends the wood’s life, not just temporary cosmetic improvement.
Yes, but the approach depends on severity. Light oxidation and water staining respond well to single-stage compounding followed by premium sealant application. Moderate to heavy oxidation requires multi-stage polishing with progressively finer compounds.
We use filtered water systems during our process to prevent creating new water spots while removing existing ones. The key is cutting through the damaged gel coat layer to reach the undamaged surface underneath, then protecting it properly.
Severe cases might need wet sanding before compounding, but we always start with the least aggressive method. Once we’ve restored the surface, proper ceramic coating or sealant application prevents the problem from recurring quickly.
We provide seasonal maintenance programs designed for boats that stay in North Lindenhurst waters year-round. This typically includes spring restoration after winter storage, mid-season touch-ups around July-August, and fall preparation services.
Regular maintenance prevents the major oxidation and staining issues that require expensive restoration work. Our programs include periodic washing with filtered water, spot polishing as needed, and reapplication of protective coatings before they fail.
For boats used frequently, we also offer monthly maintenance visits that include hull cleaning, hardware polishing, and interior moisture control. The goal is keeping your investment in excellent condition rather than letting problems develop that require major correction.
We focus on actual protection and preservation, not just appearance. Many services provide basic washing and temporary shine that looks good for a few weeks but doesn’t address the underlying issues that damage your investment over time.
Our filtered water systems prevent hard water staining during the cleaning process. We use marine-specific products designed for Long Island’s saltwater environment, not automotive products that aren’t formulated for marine conditions.
Most importantly, we understand that your yacht is a significant investment requiring specialized care. Our climate-controlled facility, proper equipment, and focus on long-term protection reflect the same standards you’d expect for any valuable asset. We’re not just making your boat look good—we’re preserving its value and condition for years of reliable use.
