Hear from Our Customers
Your boat stays pristine, protected, and valuable. No more chalky gelcoat, no more moisture damage, no more wondering if you’re getting real results.
Professional marine detailing isn’t just about appearance—it’s about preservation. When your yacht receives expert care, oxidation stops advancing, UV damage gets prevented, and your investment maintains its value. You get peace of mind knowing every surface is protected by marine-grade products designed specifically for the harsh Southampton marine environment.
The difference shows immediately and lasts. Your vessel looks showroom-ready every time you take it out, and you avoid the costly repairs that come from neglect.
We specialize in premium care for luxury boats and yachts in Southampton and the greater Hamptons area. We’re not a general detailing shop—we focus exclusively on high-end marine assets that demand precision and expertise.
Southampton’s marine environment is particularly challenging. Salt air, intense summer sun, and moisture create the perfect storm for gelcoat oxidation and interior damage. We’ve built our entire process around protecting against these specific local conditions.
Our climate-controlled facility and concierge-style service mean your vessel gets the specialized attention it deserves, without the hassle of coordinating multiple service providers or worrying about proper storage between visits.
First, we pick up your vessel with our secure transport system and bring it to our climate-controlled facility. No exposure to elements during the service process.
Next comes the comprehensive assessment. We identify oxidation levels, check for moisture intrusion, evaluate gelcoat condition, and note any areas requiring specialized attention like teak restoration or mold remediation. Every boat gets a customized approach based on its specific needs and condition.
The restoration process uses marine-grade compounds and equipment designed specifically for gelcoat, not automotive finishes. We remove oxidation through proper compounding, polish to restore clarity and shine, then apply protective sealants that resist UV damage and moisture penetration. Interior work includes proper moisture control, upholstery conditioning, and mold prevention treatments.
Finally, your boat gets returned in showroom condition with a detailed report of work completed and recommendations for ongoing maintenance intervals.

Our comprehensive boat detailing covers every aspect of marine care. Exterior work includes gelcoat restoration, oxidation removal, professional waxing with marine-grade products, and metal polishing. We handle teak cleaning and conditioning using proper techniques that preserve the wood while removing stains and weathering.
Interior services focus on moisture control and mold remediation—critical issues in Southampton’s humid marine environment. We clean and condition all surfaces, treat upholstery with marine-specific products, and implement moisture prevention systems where needed.
Southampton boat owners face unique challenges. The combination of salt air from the Atlantic, intense summer sun, and high humidity creates accelerated wear on marine finishes. Our process specifically addresses these local environmental factors, using protective treatments proven effective in East Coast marine conditions. We also understand the seasonal nature of boating here, offering comprehensive pre-season preparation and proper winter storage preparation services.
In Southampton’s marine environment, most luxury boats benefit from professional detailing every 3-4 months during active season. The combination of salt air, UV exposure, and humidity accelerates oxidation and surface degradation compared to inland areas.
However, the frequency depends on several factors: how often you use the boat, where it’s stored between uses, and the current condition of the gelcoat. Boats kept in covered slips need less frequent attention than those in open moorings. We typically recommend a comprehensive spring commissioning detail, mid-season maintenance, and thorough fall preparation before winter storage.
Marine detailing products are formulated specifically for gelcoat, which is much more dense and porous than automotive paint. Automotive products simply don’t have the cutting power needed to effectively remove marine oxidation and can actually damage gelcoat if used improperly.
Marine-grade compounds contain different abrasive levels and chemical compositions designed to work with fiberglass surfaces. They also include UV inhibitors and salt-resistance properties that automotive products lack. The protective sealants we use are engineered to withstand constant moisture exposure and salt air—conditions that would quickly break down standard car wax.
Using the wrong products is one of the main reasons DIY boat detailing often fails to produce lasting results.
Yes, even heavily oxidized gelcoat can usually be restored to like-new condition with proper techniques and marine-grade restoration products. The process involves progressive compounding to remove the damaged surface layer and reveal the healthy gelcoat underneath.
Heavy oxidation removal requires specialized equipment and experience to avoid cutting through the gelcoat entirely. We use a multi-step process that gradually removes oxidation while preserving the underlying surface. After compounding, we polish to restore clarity and apply protective sealants to prevent future oxidation.
The key is catching oxidation before it becomes so severe that gelcoat replacement is needed. Even boats that look hopeless can often be restored, though the process is more intensive and time-consuming than regular maintenance detailing.
Absolutely. Moisture control and mold remediation are critical services for Southampton boat owners due to our humid climate and marine environment. Trapped moisture leads to mold growth, odors, and damage to upholstery and electronics.
Our process starts with identifying moisture sources—whether from leaks, condensation, or inadequate ventilation. We then treat existing mold with marine-safe products that eliminate growth without damaging surfaces. All affected upholstery and carpeting gets properly cleaned and treated with antimicrobial protection.
Prevention is equally important. We can install or improve ventilation systems, recommend dehumidification solutions, and apply protective treatments that resist future moisture damage. Regular maintenance includes moisture level monitoring and preventive treatments during seasonal service intervals.
Our teak service goes beyond basic cleaning to properly restore and protect this valuable wood. We start with gentle cleaning using marine-specific teak cleaners that remove stains, weathering, and salt deposits without damaging the wood fibers.
The conditioning process uses premium teak oils that penetrate deeply to restore natural color and provide UV protection. We also address any areas where teak has become loose or needs re-caulking, ensuring both appearance and watertight integrity.
Proper teak care is especially important in Southampton’s climate. The combination of salt air and UV exposure can quickly turn beautiful teak gray and brittle without regular professional attention. Our maintenance program keeps teak looking rich and golden while preserving its structural integrity for years.
Security and protection are fundamental to our concierge service model. We use specialized marine transport equipment designed to safely move luxury vessels without risk of damage during pickup and delivery.
Our climate-controlled facility protects your boat from weather exposure during the entire service process. No working outdoors where dust, pollen, or sudden weather changes can compromise results. The controlled environment also allows proper curing time for protective treatments.
We maintain full insurance coverage and document the condition of every vessel before and after service. Our team is trained in proper handling procedures for high-value marine assets, and we treat every boat as if it were our own. You’ll receive detailed photo documentation of work completed and any recommendations for future maintenance.
