Boat Ceramic Coating in Jupiter, FL

A coating is only ever as good as the surface underneath it. The gelcoat gets corrected first and coated second, so what you are protecting is a finish worth protecting.

The work

Why the prep matters more than the bottle

Coatings get sold on the label. In practice the difference between a coating that still beads in year two and one that looked incredible for a month is almost entirely what happened in the hours before it went on. Coating over oxidised, contaminated or swirled gelcoat locks the problem in and makes it harder to fix later.

So a coating job here is really a correction job with a coating at the end of it. Decontaminate, correct to the level the gelcoat can take, panel-wipe, then apply in conditions that let it cure properly instead of flashing off in direct Florida sun.

What you get afterwards is a hull that sheds salt and staining instead of holding it, washdowns that take a fraction of the effort, and gloss that survives a summer on a lift.

  • Full decontamination and waterline treatment before anything is applied
  • Machine correction to remove oxidation, swirls and dullness
  • Coating applied to hull, topsides and, where it makes sense, hardware and glass
  • Guidance on washing it afterwards so the coating is not undone in a month

FAQ

Common questions

How long does a marine ceramic coating last?
That depends on the product, the prep, and how the boat is stored and washed. Rather than quote a headline number, Brian tells you what to realistically expect for your boat and what maintenance keeps it performing.
Is ceramic coating worth it on an older boat?
Often yes, but only after correction. On heavily oxidised gelcoat the honest answer is sometimes that oxidation removal plus a good sealant is better value, and you will be told that.
Can you coat the glass and metal too?
Where it makes sense. Coated glass sheds water and salt spray noticeably, which matters more at a helm than most people expect.
Do I still need to wash the boat?
Yes. A coating makes washing dramatically easier rather than unnecessary, and most coating customers end up on a bi-weekly or monthly wash plan for exactly that reason.
