What is a Maintenance Wash?
Our marine maintenance wash plans are ideal for busy boat owners, seasonal visitors, and anyone who wants to keep their vessel looking its best without the hassle of frequent upkeep. Regular maintenance prevents salt, grime, and environmental contaminants from accumulating, helping preserve your boat's finish, protect exterior surfaces, and maintain its long-term value.
Every wash is performed using a deionized (DI) water filtration system that removes dissolved minerals from the water. This allows the water to dry naturally with a spot-free finish, eliminating the need for hand drying. Unlike hard water, which leaves behind mineral deposits that can eventually etch into gelcoat, glass, paint, and metal surfaces, deionized water helps protect your vessel's exterior while delivering a cleaner, streak-free result.

recommended boat maintenance
Step 1: Consistent Washes
Regular washing is the foundation of boat maintenance. Salt, dirt, and environmental fallout break down gelcoat and painted surfaces when left to sit—especially under UV exposure. A consistent wash schedule removes these contaminants before they cause damage, keeping surfaces clean, hydrated, and protected year-round.
Step 2: Surface Protection
- Polymer Sealant (Wax) provides a strong UV-resistant barrier that helps prevent fading and oxidation. When applied on a routine schedule, marine polymer sealants significantly extend the life of your gelcoat and keeps your boat looking glossy and well cared for. We expect polymer sealants on your vessel to last around 6 months.
- Ceramic Coatings offer longer-lasting, higher-performance protection. Ceramic bonds to the surface, delivering superior UV resistance, chemical protection, and hydrophobic properties. Boats with ceramic coatings stay cleaner longer, are easier to maintain, and maintain a deep shine for extended periods. We expect ceramic coatings to last between 18-24 months.
Step 3: Long Term Prevention over Correction
Oxidation occurs when surfaces are left unprotected and exposed to sun and salt over time. Once oxidation develops, it can only be corrected through compounding and polishing—processes that are more expensive and abrasive than preventative care. Our approach prioritizes regular maintenance and protection to minimize the need for corrective services.

Additional Services
Teak Restoration
Our teak restoration process begins with a deep clean to remove dirt, old residue, and weathered buildup, allowing the natural grain of the wood to come back to life. Once prepped, we apply a protective finish based on how the boat is used and the owner’s maintenance preferences.
- Teak Oil penetrates the wood to enhance color and grain, delivering a warm, rich look, but it requires more frequent reapplication.
- Teak Sealers seal the surface, offering longer-lasting UV and moisture protection with less maintenance, while maintaining a clean, uniform appearance.
