Your boat represents more than transportation—it’s a statement of craftsmanship, performance, and pride. When you invest in professional boat detailing, you’re not just cleaning surfaces. You’re preserving value, preventing costly damage, and ensuring your vessel commands respect at every marina.
The difference shows immediately. Gel coat that was faded and chalky transforms into mirror-like brilliance. Teak that looked weathered and gray returns to its rich, blonde beauty. Interior surfaces that collected moisture, salt, and wear regain their original luxury appeal.
But the real value goes deeper. Proper detailing prevents oxidation from eating away at your gel coat. It stops salt corrosion before it compromises metal components. It eliminates moisture that breeds mold and destroys upholstery. Every detail session extends your boat’s life and protects your investment.
At Legacy Motors and Marine, we understand what it means to own something exceptional. We’ve built our reputation serving collectors, enthusiasts, and yacht owners who demand precision, protection, and respect for their prized vessels.
Located in the heart of Long Island’s boating community, we’re perfectly positioned to serve Noyack’s discerning yacht owners. The area’s luxury marina culture—from Mill Creek Marina to the prestigious Hamptons waterfront—requires detailing services that match the caliber of vessels we see here daily.
We don’t treat your boat like just another job. Whether it’s a weekend cruiser or a million-dollar yacht, we approach every vessel with the same meticulous care and professional standards that have made us the trusted choice for high-value asset owners throughout the region.
Our boat detailing process starts with a comprehensive assessment of your vessel’s current condition. We examine gel coat for oxidation, inspect teak for weathering, and evaluate interior surfaces for moisture damage or wear. This isn’t a quick visual check—we take time to understand exactly what your boat needs.
Next comes the systematic restoration work. For gel coat, we use multi-stage compounding and polishing to remove oxidation and restore that deep, mirror-like finish. Teak receives specialized cleaning with eco-friendly products that lift years of weathering without damaging the wood’s natural oils. Interior detailing addresses everything from leather conditioning to moisture control and mold remediation.
The final step involves protection that lasts. We apply marine-grade sealants and waxes designed to withstand the harsh marine environment. For clients seeking maximum protection, we offer ceramic coating technology that provides 12-18 months of superior defense against UV rays, salt, and daily wear. You get results that look exceptional and protection that preserves your investment.

Our boat detailing services cover every aspect of marine care that matters to yacht owners in Noyack. Exterior detailing includes gel coat restoration, oxidation removal, and protective coating application. We handle everything from minor surface imperfections to complete gel coat revival on vessels that have suffered years of neglect.
Interior detailing goes beyond basic cleaning. We specialize in moisture control and mold remediation—critical concerns for boats stored in Long Island’s humid marine environment. Leather and vinyl surfaces receive professional conditioning that prevents cracking and fading. Carpets and upholstery get deep cleaning that removes salt residue and embedded dirt.
Teak maintenance represents one of our specialties. The Hamptons boating community knows quality teak work when they see it, and we deliver results that meet those exacting standards. From light cleaning that brings back natural color to complete restoration involving multi-stage sanding and sealing, we handle teak with the expertise it deserves. Our process preserves the wood’s natural beauty while providing long-term protection against marine conditions.
The frequency depends on how you use your boat and where it’s stored, but most yacht owners in the Noyack area benefit from professional detailing twice per season. Boats kept in saltwater or used frequently need more attention than those in freshwater or occasional use.
Spring detailing prepares your vessel for the season by removing winter storage effects and applying fresh protection. Mid-season or fall detailing addresses the wear from summer use and prepares surfaces for off-season storage. Boats exposed to heavy sun, salt spray, or frequent use may need additional attention.
The key is staying ahead of damage rather than trying to repair it later. Gel coat oxidation and teak weathering happen gradually, but once they reach advanced stages, restoration becomes significantly more expensive and time-consuming.
Regular washing removes surface dirt and salt, but professional detailing addresses the underlying issues that washing can’t touch. Washing is maintenance; detailing is restoration and protection.
Professional detailing involves multi-stage processes designed for marine environments. We use compounds and polishes specifically formulated for gel coat that remove oxidation and restore shine. Our teak cleaning systems lift embedded dirt and weathering that soap and water leave behind. Interior work includes moisture control and specialized treatments for marine upholstery.
The products matter too. Marine-grade sealants and waxes provide protection that lasts months, not weeks. Professional-grade compounds and polishes restore surfaces rather than just cleaning them. The difference shows in both immediate appearance and long-term preservation of your investment.
Yes, even heavily oxidized gel coat can usually be restored to like-new condition with the right approach. Gel coat restoration is one of our specialties, and we’ve successfully revived boats that owners thought were beyond help.
The process involves progressive compounding to remove the oxidized layer and reveal fresh gel coat underneath. We start with heavier compounds for severe oxidation, then work through finer grades to achieve that mirror-like finish. The key is knowing when to stop—removing too much material can damage the gel coat permanently.
For extremely severe cases, we may recommend wet sanding before compounding. This removes heavy oxidation more efficiently and creates a smooth surface for polishing. The entire process concludes with protective sealant application to prevent future oxidation and maintain that restored appearance.
We offer professional-grade ceramic coating specifically designed for marine applications. Unlike automotive ceramic coatings, marine versions are formulated to handle constant moisture, salt exposure, and UV radiation that boats face.
Marine ceramic coating typically provides 12-18 months of protection, significantly longer than traditional wax or sealant. The coating creates a semi-permanent barrier that makes cleaning easier and provides superior protection against oxidation, staining, and environmental damage. Water beads off effortlessly, and most dirt wipes away with minimal effort.
The application process requires proper surface preparation and curing time, so it’s not something that can be rushed. But for yacht owners who want maximum protection with minimal maintenance, ceramic coating represents the best long-term solution available.
Teak requires specialized knowledge because it’s an oily hardwood that reacts differently to cleaning products and environmental conditions. Standard wood cleaners can actually damage teak by removing too much of the natural oils that give it weather resistance.
Our teak restoration process uses marine-specific products designed to work with teak’s natural properties. We start with gentle cleaning to remove surface dirt and mildew, then progress to stronger treatments only if needed. The goal is always to preserve as much original wood as possible while achieving the desired appearance.
For severely weathered teak, we may use controlled sanding to remove damaged surface layers. This requires expertise to avoid over-sanding, which can ruin the wood’s natural pattern and texture. Proper sealing follows restoration to protect the wood while allowing it to breathe and maintain its natural characteristics.
Moisture control is critical for boats in Long Island’s humid marine environment. Our approach combines immediate remediation with long-term prevention strategies tailored to marine conditions.
We start by identifying moisture sources—whether from leaks, condensation, or inadequate ventilation. Existing mold receives treatment with marine-safe products that eliminate spores without damaging interior surfaces. Affected areas get thorough cleaning and drying before any protective treatments are applied.
Prevention involves improving air circulation, treating surfaces with moisture-resistant products, and recommending ventilation improvements where needed. We also apply protective treatments to leather, vinyl, and fabric that help them resist moisture absorption and mold growth. The goal is creating an interior environment that stays fresh and healthy throughout the boating season and during storage.
