Your boat faces constant assault from UV rays, salt spray, and environmental contaminants that break down gel coat and fade your vessel’s finish. Our ceramic coating technology creates a hydrophobic barrier that makes cleaning effortless while protecting against oxidation for 12-18 months.
You’ll notice the difference immediately. That chalky, dull appearance transforms into a deep, glossy finish that looks better than the day you bought it. More importantly, you’re preventing thousands in future gel coat repairs and maintaining your vessel’s resale value.
This isn’t about making your boat look good for a weekend. It’s about preserving a significant investment with protection that actually works in Long Island’s harsh marine environment.
Legacy Motors and Marine specializes in caring for high-value assets that demand more than standard treatment. Based in Port Jefferson Station, we’ve built our reputation around precision, protection, and respect for luxury vessels.
We’re not your typical mobile detailing service. Our climate-controlled facility and comprehensive approach means your boat receives the same level of care as exotic cars and luxury yachts. Every service is performed with an understanding that you’ve invested significantly in your vessel.
Patchogue Highlands boat owners choose us because we treat every vessel like it belongs in a showroom, not just a marina slip.
First, we conduct a thorough assessment of your boat’s current condition, identifying oxidation levels, gel coat integrity, and any specific problem areas. This determines whether your vessel needs light polishing or comprehensive restoration.
Next comes the restoration phase. We use marine-grade compounds to remove oxidation and restore the gel coat’s original luster, followed by precision polishing that brings back that deep, wet-look shine. For vessels requiring it, we address teak cleaning, metal polishing, and interior detailing.
Finally, we apply our ceramic coating protection system. This isn’t traditional wax that washes off in weeks. The ceramic coating bonds with your gel coat, creating lasting protection against UV damage, salt spray, and environmental contaminants. You walk away with a vessel that’s protected for months, not weeks.

Our services include gel coat restoration, ceramic coating application, teak cleaning and conditioning, interior detailing with moisture control, and mold remediation. We handle everything from routine maintenance to complete surface restoration.
Long Island’s marine environment is particularly challenging. The combination of salt air, intense summer sun, and winter storage creates the perfect storm for gel coat degradation. That’s why we use only marine-grade products specifically formulated for our coastal conditions.
Your service includes pickup and delivery from our climate-controlled facility, ensuring your vessel is never exposed to the elements during the restoration process. This concierge approach means you get professional results without the inconvenience of coordinating multiple service providers.
Our ceramic coating system provides 12-18 months of protection in Long Island’s saltwater environment, significantly longer than traditional wax which breaks down in 3-4 months. The coating creates a hydrophobic surface that repels water and makes cleaning much easier.
The longevity depends on usage and exposure, but most clients see excellent protection lasting well over a year. Boats kept in covered slips or our climate-controlled storage see even longer protection periods.
Unlike wax that sits on top of the gel coat, ceramic coating bonds at the molecular level, creating a semi-permanent protective layer that won’t wash away with regular cleaning.
Yes, we specialize in restoring even severely oxidized gel coat using a progressive approach that removes only what’s necessary. We start with the least aggressive compounds and work up only if needed, preserving as much original gel coat as possible.
Heavy oxidation looks scary but it’s usually just surface-level damage. Our restoration process removes the chalky, damaged layer to reveal the healthy gel coat underneath. Most boats that look “beyond repair” actually restore beautifully with proper technique.
The key is using marine-specific compounds and understanding gel coat chemistry. Automotive products can actually damage boat surfaces, which is why we use only marine-grade restoration materials designed for fiberglass vessels.
We offer both mobile services and facility-based detailing, with most comprehensive restoration work performed at our climate-controlled facility in Port Jefferson Station. This controlled environment ensures optimal results without weather interference.
For routine maintenance and washing, we can service your vessel at your marina or dock throughout the Patchogue Highlands area. However, ceramic coating application and major restoration work require our facility’s controlled conditions.
We provide complimentary pickup and delivery service, so you get the convenience of mobile service with the quality that only comes from a professional facility environment.
Our interior detailing includes deep cleaning of all surfaces, upholstery treatment, carpet cleaning, and moisture control measures. We also provide mold and mildew remediation, which is crucial in Long Island’s humid marine environment.
Leather and vinyl surfaces receive conditioning treatment to prevent cracking and fading. All interior surfaces are cleaned with marine-specific products that won’t damage sensitive materials or electronics.
We pay special attention to moisture control because trapped humidity leads to mold, mildew, and that musty boat smell. Our process includes moisture elimination and preventive treatments that keep your interior fresh and healthy.
Most boat owners benefit from comprehensive detailing twice per season – spring commissioning and fall preparation. However, the frequency depends on usage, storage conditions, and your vessel’s exposure to elements.
Boats kept in saltwater or used frequently may need quarterly attention, while vessels in covered storage might only need annual comprehensive service. We recommend ceramic coating reapplication every 12-18 months for optimal protection.
Regular maintenance washing every 2-4 weeks during boating season helps preserve your investment between major detailing services. We can create a custom maintenance schedule based on your specific vessel and usage patterns.
We use a three-step, non-acid cleaning process that eliminates mold and dirt without damaging the wood fibers. Most services use harsh acids that can actually weaken teak over time.
Our process restores teak to its natural blonde color while preserving the wood’s integrity. We follow the cleaning with a synthetic sealer that provides lasting protection against moisture and UV damage.
For heavily weathered teak, we offer multi-stage wet sanding that removes damaged surface layers without over-sanding. This restoration approach brings back the wood’s natural beauty while ensuring it lasts for years to come.
