Yes. We offer complimentary boat pickup and delivery throughout Hampton Roads, including Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, and surrounding areas. We also provide mobile services at your marina or dock.

Gel coat is the outer protective layer on fiberglass boats. Over time, UV exposure and salt water cause it to oxidize, fade, and chalk. Our restoration process removes oxidation through multi-step compounding, corrects the color, and brings the surface back to a smooth, glossy finish.

Our graphene nano ceramic coatings provide 12-24 months of protection depending on conditions. The coating creates a hydrophobic barrier against UV damage, salt, and mineral deposits, significantly reducing maintenance between details.

For boats in salt water like the Chesapeake Bay, we recommend a wash every month and a full detail every quarter. Many of our clients are on monthly maintenance plans that keep their boats ready to go year-round.

We're based in Virginia Beach and serve all of Hampton Roads, including Chesapeake, Hampton, Newport News, Norfolk, Poquoson, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Williamsburg, York County, and Isle of Wight County. Free pickup and delivery is included.
