Marine Ceramic Coating on Long Beach Island: Protection for Bayside Boats
How marine ceramic coating protects boats on Long Beach Island from salt, sun and oxidation, what it costs per foot and how to prepare the surface.
Boats kept on the bay side of Long Beach Island deal with intense sun, salt water and humidity all season. Wax and sealant help, but they wear off quickly in these conditions. Marine ceramic coating offers longer-lasting protection.
What marine ceramic does
- Creates a hard, slick layer that resists UV and salt.
- Slows oxidation of gel coat.
- Makes washing much faster: salt and grime rinse off easily.
- Keeps the hull glossy longer.
What is included
Marine Ceramic — Prepared Surface: $95/ft, $1,900 minimum.
- Wash and decontamination.
- Required gloss preparation.
- Marine ceramic system on approved exterior surfaces.
- Cure and aftercare guidance.
All products are marine-grade, and every job comes with a written scope.
Correct before you coat
If the gel coat is oxidized, it needs correcting first so the coating seals in a glossy finish. One-Step Polish + Wax ($45/ft) or Heavy Oxidation Correction ($65/ft) may be recommended after inspection. Correction and specialty surfaces are priced separately.
