Fiberglass & Gelcoat Repair

Fiberglass cracks, dock rash, collision damage, and gelcoat oxidation are common issues for Charleston boaters. Our team specializes in structural fiberglass repair, cosmetic crack repair, gelcoat color-matching, blister repair, and full gelcoat restoration to bring your hull back to a factory-fresh finish.

Marine Paint Repair & Restoration

Whether you need touch-ups, scratch repair, chip repair, or full topside refinishing, we work with premium marine paint systems including Awlgrip, Awlcraft 2000, Alexseal, Interlux, Imron, and custom gelcoat colors. We restore shine, protect your hull, and eliminate the damage caused by sun, salt, and everyday use.

Mobile Boat Detailing in Charleston

Our mobile boat detailing services include waxing, polishing, oxidation removal, ceramic coatings, interior and exterior detailing, and ongoing monthly washdowns. Charleston’s sun and saltwater accelerate gelcoat wear—our detailing services protect your investment and keep your boat looking new all season long.

Gelcoat Restoration

If your gelcoat is chalky, faded, or oxidized, our multi-stage restoration process revitalizes shine and provides long-lasting protection. We use marine-grade compounds, polishes, and coatings to restore gloss and protect your finish from Lowcountry UV and salt exposure.

Outboard Engine Maintenance & Repairs

We provide routine outboard service, 100-hour maintenance, diagnostics, fuel system service, cooling system service, water pump replacements, spark plugs, filters, and more. Regular engine maintenance is the key to reliability in Charleston’s demanding marine environment.

Teak Deck Cleaning & Restoration

Our teak services include cleaning, brightening, sanding, sealing, and full restoration. Whether your teak is gray, dirty, or weathered, we can restore its natural beauty and protect it from Charleston’s heat and humidity.

We install new zincs for props, shafts, rudders, trim tabs, and hull fittings. Protect your vessel from corrosion caused by electrolysis—especially in Charleston marinas where stray electrical current is common.
