Find Marine Protection Installers

Marine protection covers ceramic coatings and films specifically engineered for the brutal saltwater + UV environment that boats and yachts face. Standard automotive products don’t hold up — marine ceramic coatings are formulated to resist salt corrosion on metallics, prevent oxidation on gelcoat, and shed water on hulls and bright work.

A typical marine ceramic coating service involves a multi-step gelcoat decontamination wash, polish or compound to remove oxidation, then 1-2 layers of marine-specific ceramic applied to the hull, deck, and bright work. Expect 1-3 days of dock time depending on vessel size.

Pricing varies widely by vessel size: a 25-foot center console runs $800-$2,000 for a full ceramic coat, while a 60-foot yacht can run $5,000-$15,000. Multi-year warranties are standard from marine-rated brands like System X Marine, Glidecoat, and Marine Pro.
