Ceramic Coatings & Marine Protection Film
The Modern Approach to Boat Care
Protecting your boat means defending it against constant UV exposure, water staining, algae, and oxidation that dulls your gel coat. While traditional waxes offer temporary help, our advanced solutions provide long-lasting, superior protection. A professional-grade ceramic coating creates a hard, slick shell over your gel coat. At the same time, a durable marine protection film, can be applied to high-impact areas to guard against physical damage. Together, they offer a complete care solution that keeps your boat looking incredible with less effort.
The Science of an Unbeatable Shine
Boat Ceramic Coating Explained
A marine ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that we apply to your boat's gel coat and other surfaces. Once cured, it forms a chemical bond with the surface, creating a semi-permanent, glass-like layer of protection. This isn't a wax that sits on top; it becomes an integrated part of the finish. The result is a hard, durable shield that is far more resilient than any traditional sealant. This process locks in the gloss of your polished gel coat, giving it a wet look that lasts for seasons, not just weeks.
Less Cleaning, More Boating
The Incredible Benefits of Ceramic Coating
Superior UV Protection
The sun is the biggest enemy of your gel coat. A ceramic coating acts like a powerful sunscreen, blocking harmful UV rays to prevent the fading and oxidation that makes finishes look dull and chalky.
Effortless Cleaning
The hydrophobic surface created by the coating means that water, algae, fish blood, and lake scum slide right off. Hosing down your boat after a day on the water is often enough to make it look freshly detailed.
Stunning, Lasting Gloss
After we polish your gel coat to perfection, the ceramic coating locks in that deep shine. It enhances the color and provides a brilliant, reflective finish that will make your boat the star of the marina.
Chemical and Stain Resistance
The coating creates a barrier that resists staining from bird droppings, acid rain, and other environmental contaminants.
Your Invisible Bumper Guard
Understanding Marine Protection Film
Marine protection film is a heavy-duty, transparent urethane film designed specifically for the rigors of the water. Think of it as invisible armor for the most vulnerable areas of your boat. We professionally apply this rugged film to places that are prone to scuffs, scratches, and impacts. It’s an incredibly effective way to prevent the common bumps and bruises that happen around the dock or from fenders, preserving the pristine finish of your vessel.
Defending Against Docks and Debris
The Clear Advantages of Protection Film
Impact and Abrasion Resistance
The film is designed to absorb the energy from impacts, preventing dock rash, fender scuffs, and scratches from damaging your hull and gel coat.
Keeps High-Wear Areas Pristine
We can apply it to gunwales, transoms, and hull sides; anywhere that sees frequent contact. This preserves your finish and prevents costly gel coat repairs down the line.
Optically Clear
The film is virtually invisible once installed, so it protects your boat without altering its appearance. Your boat’s beautiful color and finish shine right through.
Protects Your Investment
Preventing physical damage is one of the best ways to maintain your boat's value. A vessel free of ugly scuffs and scratches will always be worth more.
Your Top Marine Protection Questions Answered
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I get a ceramic coating on an older boat?
Absolutely! We first perform a full paint correction service to remove oxidation and restore the gloss of your gel coat. Applying a ceramic coating afterward is the perfect way to lock in that renewed finish and protect it for years to come.
2. How long do these protections last?
With proper care, a professional marine ceramic coating can last for multiple seasons. Our marine protection film is backed by a manufacturer's warranty, often up to 10 years, against yellowing or peeling.
3. Do I have to choose between ceramic coating and protection film?
Not at all! They work perfectly together. The best solution is to apply marine protection film to high-impact zones and then apply a ceramic coating over the entire boat, including the film, for total protection.
4. How do I care for my boat after these services?
Maintenance becomes much simpler! We recommend regular rinsing with fresh water and gentle washing with a pH-neutral boat soap. Avoid using abrasive brushes or harsh chemicals. The slick surface makes cleaning a breeze.
5. Can you apply protection film to non-painted surfaces?
Yes, marine protection film can be applied to many smooth surfaces on a boat, not just the gel coat. We can discuss custom applications to protect various parts of your vessel.
6. Is a marine ceramic coating worth the investment?
We absolutely believe so! When you consider the cost of regular waxing, the prevention of costly gel coat oxidation repair, and the sheer amount of time you save on cleaning, a ceramic coating provides incredible value and more time for you to enjoy being on the water.
