Marine Detailing Ceramic Coating Services
Marine detailing ceramic coating is a cutting-edge, nano-ceramic polymer layer applied to your boat’s gel coat, fiberglass, and painted surfaces. Unlike traditional marine wax that wears off in weeks, ceramic coating chemically bonds to the surface to create a semi-permanent hydrophobic shield.
This advanced protection repels water, salt spray, UV radiation, and organic contaminants — keeping your vessel looking showroom-fresh for years, not months. Whether you own a center console, sport fisherman, or luxury yacht, marine ceramic coating is the ultimate investment in long-term hull protection.
Our marine detailing ceramic coating service pairs perfectly with our full boat detailing service.
MARINE CERAMIC COATING PROTECTION
WHAT THE SERVICE COVERS
Why Your Boat Needs Ceramic Coating
Your boat faces relentless punishment from the marine environment. Saltwater corrodes and stains gel coat, UV rays cause oxidation and chalking, and organic growth like barnacles, algae, and water spots attack unprotected surfaces daily.
Marine ceramic coating creates a chemical barrier that dramatically reduces salt adhesion, prevents UV-induced fading, and makes fouling organisms far easier to remove. The result is a hull that stays cleaner longer, cuts through water more efficiently, and retains its resale value. Stop spending weekends scrubbing — and start enjoying the water.
CERAMIC COATING & GEL COAT RESTORATION — FROM $100 PER FOOT
We come to your marina, dock, driveway or dry storage across the Lowcountry and Savannah. No travel fee. This work is priced per foot, because size and condition decide how much correction the gel coat needs.
Ceramic Coating & Gel Coat Restoration
$100+ / ft
Priced by length
Ceramic coating and gel coat restoration, priced per foot. How much your boat needs depends on how far the gel coat has oxidized.
A 26 ft boat is 26 × $100 = $2,600. That is a starting estimate. Ceramic and gel coat work is quoted once we have seen your boat, because how far the gel coat has gone decides how much correction it needs. We confirm the price with you before any work starts.
How to tell what you need. Run your hand along the hull. If it comes away chalky and leaves residue on your fingers, the gelcoat is oxidised and needs restoration first — wetsanding or a two-step cut and buff, priced after inspection. A coating goes on after that, never instead of it.
Our Marine Ceramic Coating Process
Our marine detailing process begins with a thorough wash and decontamination to remove salt deposits, oxidation, and embedded grime from every surface. Next, we perform a two-stage compound and polish to restore your gel coat or paint to a mirror-like finish.
Once the surface is flawless, we apply a professional-grade marine ceramic coating in controlled, even layers. The coating cures to form a 9H-hardness barrier that bonds at the molecular level — delivering up to five years of hydrophobic protection, UV resistance, and anti-fouling performance. Every application is backed by our quality guarantee.
Every marine detailing ceramic coating application follows the same wash, decontamination and polish process before a single coat goes on.
