Boat Ceramic Coating
Long-lasting protection for gelcoat, paint, and all high-exposure areas.
Professional marine ceramic coating that cuts down maintenance, improves gloss, and protects your boat from UV, salt, oxidation, and staining. Applied by trained technicians using proper prep and controlled techniques.
About the service
Ceramic coating for boats creates a durable protective layer that keeps your hull cleaner for longer, reduces maintenance, and helps the finish resist oxidation, sun damage, and daily wear. Before installing the coating, we prep the surface properly — including compounding and polishing when needed — to make sure the coating bonds evenly and doesn’t lock in defects. The result is a smoother, glossier surface that stands out on the water. We use marine-grade coatings designed specifically for fiberglass and gelcoat. They add strong hydrophobic behavior, better UV resistance, and improved protection against stains, fallout, and bird droppings. You’ll spend less time scrubbing and more time actually using your boat. With proper maintenance, the coating offers reliable protection for up to nine months. All work is done at your slip using safe equipment and controlled techniques. No overselling, no fluff, and no shortcuts. You get honest expectations and a clean, predictable result from technicians who follow the same process every time. Simple, effective, and done right.
