Most boat owners get tired of redetailing every few months. You’re dealing with faded gel coat, stubborn oxidation, and that constant cycle of cleaning that never seems to last.
Here’s what changes when you work with professionals who understand marine environments. Your boat stays protected longer—we’re talking six months, not six weeks. The ceramic coatings we apply don’t just shine; they create a barrier that lets salt spray and grime wash away with basic rinsing.
Your gel coat gets restored to that original depth and clarity you remember from the showroom. Teak decking keeps its rich color without the harsh chemicals that cut its lifespan in half. And your interior stays fresh and protected, even in Patchogue’s humid marine climate.
We’ve been serving Patchogue’s boating community since the early 2000s. We understand what Long Island Sound conditions do to your boat—the salt spray, UV exposure, and seasonal challenges that come with East Coast boating.
We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. You’re investing in fewer touch-ups, longer-lasting protection, and the peace of mind that comes from working with specialists who treat your yacht like the valuable asset it is.
Our team knows Patchogue’s marine landscape. We work with boat owners from the Great South Bay to the Sound, and we understand the specific challenges your vessel faces in these waters.
First, we assess your boat’s current condition and discuss your specific needs. No generic packages—every vessel gets evaluated individually because a 25-foot center console has different requirements than a 50-foot yacht.
Next comes the restoration phase. We address any gel coat oxidation using multi-stage compounds, repair minor imperfections, and prepare all surfaces properly. This isn’t rushed work—proper surface preparation determines how long your protection will last.
The protection phase is where we separate from basic detailing services. We apply ceramic coatings that bond at the molecular level, creating a semi-permanent barrier against UV rays, salt, and environmental contaminants. Interior surfaces get specialized treatments that resist moisture and prevent mold growth.
Final inspection ensures everything meets our standards before we consider the job complete. You get a detailed overview of what was done and recommendations for maintaining your investment between services.

Our marine detailing goes beyond surface-level cleaning. Gel coat restoration involves wet sanding when necessary, followed by multi-stage polishing to restore that mirror-like finish. We use specialized marine compounds designed for Long Island’s challenging conditions.
Interior detailing addresses every surface—from leather conditioning to fabric protection, plus moisture control systems that prevent the mold and mildew issues common in our humid climate. Teak cleaning uses pH-balanced products that enhance the wood’s natural oils rather than stripping them away.
For Patchogue boat owners, we offer mobile services within a 20-mile radius. Your boat gets detailed at your marina or dock, saving you the hassle of transport. We bring filtered water systems to prevent those hard water spots that plague many local detailing jobs.
Ceramic coating application is available for owners who want maximum protection. These coatings last 4-6 times longer than traditional wax, making them cost-effective for serious boaters who want their vessel ready whenever they are.
Properly applied ceramic coatings last 4-6 times longer than traditional marine wax—typically 2-3 years with proper maintenance. The key is professional application and using marine-grade products designed for salt water exposure.
In Patchogue’s marine environment, you’ll see the biggest difference during spring cleanup. Instead of heavy compounding to remove winter oxidation, boats with ceramic coating usually need only a thorough wash and light polish to restore their shine.
The coating creates a molecular bond with your gel coat that resists UV degradation and makes cleaning significantly easier. Salt spray and bird droppings wash away with basic rinsing rather than requiring aggressive scrubbing that can damage your boat’s finish.
Basic boat washing removes surface dirt and salt but doesn’t address oxidation, protect against future damage, or restore your boat’s finish. Professional marine detailing involves surface restoration, protection application, and addressing the specific challenges of marine environments.
We use filtered water to prevent hard water staining, marine-specific compounds that won’t damage gel coat, and protection products designed for salt water exposure. The process includes interior moisture control, teak treatment with specialized oils, and metal polishing with corrosion inhibitors.
Most importantly, professional detailing extends the time between major restoration work. Regular maintenance with proper products prevents the oxidation and surface degradation that leads to expensive gel coat repair or refinishing projects.
For boats used regularly in Long Island waters, we recommend full detailing every 4-6 months, with maintenance washes every 2-3 weeks during boating season. Boats with ceramic coating can often extend the full detail interval to 6-8 months.
The key factors are usage frequency, storage conditions, and water type. Boats kept in salt water slips need more frequent attention than those stored on trailers. Boats used for fishing or water sports require more frequent interior cleaning due to increased wear.
Winter storage preparation and spring commissioning are critical in our climate. Proper fall preparation prevents moisture damage during storage, while spring detailing addresses any issues that developed over winter and prepares your boat for the season ahead.
In most cases, yes. Gel coat oxidation appears as a chalky, dull surface but often hasn’t penetrated deeply enough to require complete refinishing. We use wet sanding with progressively finer grits, followed by marine compounds and polishes to restore clarity and depth.
The process involves removing the oxidized layer to reveal the undamaged gel coat beneath. This requires experience to avoid removing too much material or creating an uneven finish. Proper technique restores that showroom shine while maintaining the gel coat’s protective properties.
Severe cases where gel coat has worn too thin may require professional refinishing, but most oxidation issues we see in Patchogue can be restored through proper detailing techniques. The key is addressing oxidation early before it penetrates too deeply into the gel coat.
Yes, we provide mobile detailing services within a 20-mile radius of Patchogue, bringing our equipment and expertise directly to your marina or dock. This includes our filtered water systems, professional-grade compounds, and ceramic coating application equipment.
Mobile service is particularly convenient for larger yachts or boats stored at private docks. We coordinate with marina management when necessary and ensure our work doesn’t interfere with other boat owners or marina operations.
The mobile approach saves you time and eliminates the logistics of transporting your boat for detailing. We maintain the same quality standards whether working at your location or our facility, using the same professional products and techniques that deliver lasting results.
Interior detailing addresses every surface in your boat’s cabin and cockpit areas. This includes vacuuming and shampooing carpets, cleaning and conditioning leather seating, treating vinyl surfaces, and detailed cleaning of all hard surfaces including electronics and instrumentation.
Moisture control is critical in Long Island’s humid marine environment. We apply specialized treatments that resist mold and mildew growth, treat fabric surfaces with moisture-repelling products, and ensure proper ventilation systems are clean and functioning effectively.
The process includes cleaning and treating all storage compartments, addressing any existing mold or mildew issues with marine-safe products, and applying protective treatments that help prevent future moisture problems. This is particularly important for boats stored during winter months when humidity control becomes challenging.
