Hear from Our Customers
Your boat stops looking tired after every outing. The gel coat stays glossy instead of chalky and oxidized. Teak maintains its rich color rather than turning gray and weathered.
Mold and mildew don’t take over your cabin during storage. Salt stains wipe away easily instead of etching permanent damage. Your vessel holds its value because it looks and performs like you actually care about it.
When detailing is done right, you spend more time enjoying your boat and less time worrying about expensive repairs or embarrassing stains that won’t come out.
Legacy Motors and Marine has been protecting high-value vessels in the Sweyze area for years. We understand that your boat isn’t just transportation—it’s a significant investment that deserves professional-grade care.
Located in Port Jefferson Station, we’ve built our reputation by treating every yacht and boat like it belongs to us. Our team uses only certified premium products and proven techniques that actually work in Long Island’s challenging marine environment.
Sweyze boat owners choose us because we deliver results without the runaround. No surprises, no shortcuts, just thorough work that keeps your vessel looking and performing at its best.
We start with a complete assessment of your boat’s condition, noting any problem areas that need special attention. Then we use filtered water and marine-specific cleaners to remove salt, grime, and oxidation without damaging sensitive surfaces.
For gel coat restoration, we apply the right grade of compound to eliminate oxidation, followed by premium polymer sealants that provide lasting protection. Teak gets cleaned with our three-step non-acid process that brings back that beautiful blonde color.
Interior work includes mold treatment, vinyl conditioning, and thorough cleaning of all surfaces. We finish with protective coatings that make future cleaning easier and extend the time between major details. Every step is documented so you know exactly what was done.

Complete exterior washing from waterline up using filtered water to prevent hard water stains. We clean all hatches, compartments, and remove black streaks that regular washing can’t handle. Metal gets polished, windows are streak-free, and everything gets a protective spray wax coating.
Interior detailing covers vacuuming, dusting, bilge cleaning, and sanitizing all surfaces. We condition wood, treat mold problems, and restore vinyl seats to their original appearance. Cushions get proper cleaning and protection against future staining.
For Sweyze’s marine environment, we include specialized services like ceramic coating application, teak restoration, and mold prevention treatments that provide months of protection. Each service is tailored to your boat’s specific needs and usage patterns.
Most boat owners in the Sweyze area benefit from a full detail every 3-6 months, with regular maintenance washes every 2-4 weeks during boating season. The frequency depends on how often you use your boat and where you store it.
If you keep your boat in saltwater or use it frequently, you’ll need more frequent attention to prevent salt damage and oxidation. Boats stored in covered slips can often go longer between full details, but they still need regular cleaning to prevent mold and maintain their appearance.
We typically recommend starting the season with a complete restoration detail, followed by maintenance services throughout the summer, and ending with protective treatments before winter storage.
Regular washing removes surface dirt and salt but doesn’t address oxidation, staining, or protective coating needs. Professional detailing goes much deeper, treating the actual causes of deterioration rather than just cleaning what you can see.
We use marine-specific products and techniques that regular car wash soaps and methods can’t match. For example, our filtered water system prevents hard water spots, and our multi-stage compounds actually remove oxidation rather than just covering it up temporarily.
Professional detailing also includes protective treatments like ceramic coatings, mold prevention, and proper conditioning of all surfaces. The result lasts months instead of weeks, and actually preserves your boat’s value rather than just making it look clean for a few days.
Yes, we specialize in oxidation removal and gel coat restoration using professional-grade compounds and polishing systems. Heavy oxidation requires multiple stages of progressively finer compounds, but we can usually restore even severely neglected gel coat to like-new condition.
The process involves carefully removing the oxidized layer without damaging the underlying gel coat, then building up protection with premium sealants. For colored hulls, we use a specialized four-step process designed specifically for maintaining proper color depth and clarity.
The key is using the right products in the right sequence. We don’t just buff and hope for the best—we assess the oxidation level and choose the appropriate compounds and techniques to achieve lasting results without causing damage.
Absolutely. We use Xanigo Marine’s professional mold and mildew prevention system, which provides a minimum of three months of protection against mold growth. This is especially important for boats stored in Sweyze’s humid marine environment.
The treatment is non-toxic and safe for all boat surfaces, including upholstery, canvas, wood, and carpeting. We apply it after thorough cleaning and can treat everything from cushions and carpets to canvas covers and storage areas.
Prevention is much more effective and less expensive than dealing with mold problems after they develop. The treatment also helps preserve your boat’s interior materials and prevents the musty odors that develop when boats sit unused for extended periods.
Ceramic coating creates a semi-permanent protective layer that lasts 4-6 times longer than traditional wax while providing superior protection against UV rays, salt water, and oxidation. It makes routine cleaning much easier because dirt and stains wipe off more readily.
For boats in Sweyze’s marine environment, ceramic coating is particularly valuable because it provides constant protection against salt spray, UV damage, and water spotting. The coating maintains its protective properties even when the boat sits unused, unlike wax that degrades over time.
The upfront investment pays for itself through reduced maintenance costs and better preservation of your boat’s finish. We’re certified installers of professional-grade ceramic coatings specifically formulated for marine applications, not automotive products that aren’t designed for saltwater exposure.
Yes, we offer complete teak care services from light cleaning to full restoration. Our standard process uses a three-step non-acid cleaning system that eliminates mold and dirt while bringing back teak’s natural blonde color without damaging the wood.
For heavily weathered teak, we offer multi-stage wet sanding that removes damaged surface layers and reduces the time needed for buffing. We follow up with synthetic teak sealers that protect against future weathering and make maintenance easier.
The key to proper teak care is using the right products and techniques for your teak’s current condition. We assess each situation individually and recommend the appropriate level of restoration, from eco-friendly powder cleaning for lightly soiled teak to complete refinishing for severely weathered wood.
