Yacht Maintenance: Beautify and Protect

The foundation of boat and yacht maintenance is proper care and restoration of protective finishes and coatings. It’s also critical to make sure that your caulking is watertight and your fittings and deck hardware are properly sealed and bedded. Of course,  staying on top of brightwork, varnish, gelcoat, and paint also has the extra added benefit of making your boat as beautiful she she is seaworthy. At Big Ocean Marine, we specialize in protecting your investment with the following maintenance  services:

Teak and Mahogany Brightwork

Nothing makes an impact like solid exotic hardwood with a high gloss coating. There is no replacement for the real thing. The issue of course is they require maintenance, especially in Florida.  But that’s not necessarily a deal breaker. Advances in protective coatings (epoxy, clear coats, etc) can greatly reduce maintenance requirements. 

Yacht and Boat Painting

Thinking about painting your fiberglass boat? Done right, paint can provide a breathtakingly beautiful finish for your boat or yacht, and it also has the added benefit of being highly durable. But to an even greater degree than varnish or gelcoat, proper surface preparation is essential. Big Ocean Marine also does bottom painting and paint repair.

Re-caulking, Re-sealing, and Re-bedding

Broken window and hatch seals can quickly lead to costly damages, all caulk eventually becomes hard or begins to pull away, and your deck hardware will likely need re-bedding at some point. These are the realities of owning a boat or yacht, and trying to do it yourself can drive you to re-think that decision. Don’t give up the ship- Big Ocean Marine can help!
