A long-lasting ceramic layer that sheds salt and UV, cuts down on how often you need to wash, and keeps the shine consistent between visits.
Ceramic Coating
Wax and sealants need reapplication every few months. A properly applied ceramic coating bonds to the gelcoat itself, creating a hard, hydrophobic layer that sheds salt, resists UV oxidation, and makes every future wash faster and easier. For owners tired of fighting the same battle every few weeks, it’s usually the better long-term investment.
Our Process
Prep matters more than the coating itself. We spend most of the job getting the surface right before anything gets applied.
Surface preparation is tailored to the vessel and may include decontamination washing, clay treatment, or other contaminant removal before coating.
Light to moderate correction to address swirl marks and minor oxidation, since a coating locks in whatever condition the surface is in when applied.
Ceramic coating is applied according to the selected product and the vessel’s condition, with appropriate cure time built into the process.
A recommended maintenance schedule using coating-safe, pH-neutral products so the ceramic layer performs for its full lifespan.
Why Choose Us
We don’t just react to a dull hull. We work to prevent it, with a team that actually shows up.
We never coat over oxidation or contamination. Corrected surfaces hold a ceramic coating far longer.
We can recommend a coating-safe maintenance plan so the finish is cared for properly after application.
Our coatings are chosen and applied specifically for saltwater and constant UV, not general automotive conditions.

Questions
What ceramic coating actually does, and doesn’t do.
Coating longevity depends on the product selected, preparation, exposure, and routine maintenance. We’ll recommend a practical care plan based on your vessel and how it is used.
Yes, regular washing is still needed, but it’s noticeably faster and easier since salt and grime no longer bond to the surface the way they do on bare gelcoat.
No, coating is a protective layer, not a correction service. We address oxidation and scratches with compounding before applying any coating.
Most single-hull applications take one to two days including prep, correction if needed, cure time between coats, and final inspection.
Often, yes. Coated surfaces resist salt film and UV damage even while sitting at the dock unused, which is exactly when Keys conditions do the most damage.
