What We Do

Comprehensive marine care, start to finish.

Premium marine-grade products only, applied by hand with the preparation the job actually requires. One trade for the whole vessel — above and below the waterline.

  1. 01

    Premium Boat Wash

    A thorough wash using professional marine products that lift salt and grime without stripping existing protection. Finished with a full blow-dry so nothing is left to spot or streak.

  2. 02

    Detailing & Interior Care

    Full interior and exterior detailing — a deep clean through cabin spaces, upholstery, vinyl and glass. Every surface treated and left with proper UV protection.

  3. 03

    Cut & Polish

    Swirl marks, oxidation and scratches cut back and refined in stages. The result is restored gloss and the deep, wet shine a good hull is supposed to have.

  4. 04

    Gelcoat Repairs & Restoration

    Cracks, chips, fading and osmosis repaired properly and blended back into the surrounding surface. Restoration built to last, not to hide.

  5. 05

    Paint Repairs & Colour Match

    Spot repairs or full touch-ups using factory-matched colour. Done well, the repair disappears into the original finish.

  6. 06

    Antifouling Application

    High quality antifouling applied for maximum protection and performance below the waterline. Correct preparation, correct coverage, correct film build.

  7. 07

    Antifouling Removal — Dustless

    Old antifouling removed safely with a dustless system. No sandblasting, no mess through the yard, and a clean substrate ready to recoat.

  8. 08

    Ceramic Protection

    Long-lasting ceramic protection against UV, salt and grime. Easier washdowns, and a finish that holds its depth season after season.

  9. 09

    Stainless & Metal Restoration

    Rust, staining and corrosion removed from stainless and alloy fittings, then sealed and protected. Rails and hardware brought back to a mirror finish.

  10. 10

    Scheduled Maintenance

    Regular maintenance plans built around how you use your vessel. Keeps her in top condition year-round and avoids costly restoration later.

And much more — just ask. We can handle almost any marine work.

Our Work

Real work, real results.

Real vessels, real results — photographed on the job, not staged. Salt-pitted stainless brought back by hand, antifouling stripped dustless, and topsides finished to the standard every vessel leaves in.
