CERTIFIED. PROVEN. UNCOMPROMISING. YACHT CARE

  • Our Most Popular Entry-Level Refresh

    Our Wash & Shine Package is the perfect starting point for boat owners looking to restore surface brilliance and protect their vessel for the season — without committing to a full restoration. This package includes a deep, professional-grade wash followed by a premium polish and wax to leave your boat gleaming from bow to stern.

    Service Includes:

    • Thorough Wash Down using a high-foam cannon, marine-safe degreasers, and pH-balanced boat soap to eliminate buildup, salt, grime, and oxidation.

    • Machine Polish with Starke Elevate, a medium-cut compound that safely removes light oxidation, surface haze, and minor imperfections — restoring gloss and clarity.

    • Protective Finish with Starke Marine Wax, a high-performance wax designed to lock in shine and defend against sun, salt, and water exposure.

    Optional Upgrade:

    • Add Starke Hyper Hold Pro SiO₂ Polymer Sealant for long-lasting hydrophobic protection, superior gloss, and increased UV resistance. This ceramic-infused sealant bonds to the surface and extends the life of your finish well beyond traditional wax.

  • Professional Marine Surface Care That Goes Deeper

    At Black Marlin Yacht Care, our Exterior Services offer comprehensive surface correction, protection, and revitalization for every inch of your vessel — from the rub rail to the hull bottom, including engine exteriors and metalwork. Our process is tailored to each boat’s condition and owner’s expectations, whether you need a seasonal refresh or multi-stage oxidation correction.

    Our Process Includes:

    • Degreasing & Wash Down using marine-safe degreasers and our signature high-lubricity boat soap to remove salt, grime, fuel residue, and buildup from all exterior surfaces.

    • Oxidation & Surface Correction using your choice of up to three progressive levels of compound, depending on the severity of oxidation or desired mirror-like finish.

      • Starke Elevate (Medium Cut Compound)

      • Starke Ignition (Heavy Cut Compound)

      • Starke Revolution (For deeper oxidation and aggressive correction)

    • Wet Sanding available for up to five levels of oxidation removal, performed with precision for gelcoat recovery and color restoration.

    • Protection & Sealant — finished with your choice of:

      • Starke Marine Wax for seasonal gloss and water beading

      • Starke Hyper Hold Pro SiO₂ Sealant for longer-term, ceramic-infused surface defense ideal for saltwater environments

    Additional Exterior Services Include:

    • Color Restoration for faded gelcoat or discolored surfaces

    • Brightwork & Chrome Polishing to restore brilliance to metal fixtures

    • Hull Cleaning & Waterline Stain Removal

    • Glass & Window Cleaning for a streak-free, UV-resistant finish

    • Vinyl & Rubber Trim Restoration

    Why It Matters:
    The elements are unforgiving on a marine vessel. UV rays, salt, and oxidation can rapidly degrade your boat’s appearance and value. Our exterior detailing services — powered by Starke Yacht Care Certified products and training — ensure every surface of your boat is restored, protected, and elevated to its highest potential.

  • Revitalize, Sanitize & Shield Your Vessel’s Interior

    Our Interior Detail + Protection Service is a full-spectrum treatment designed to restore, refresh, and protect your boat’s interior — with particular attention to vinyl seating, exotic flooring, and delicate surfaces.

    We go beyond basic wipe-downs. This package includes a deep clean using industry-grade products formulated specifically for the marine environment, followed by the application of premium protectants to defend against UV damage, fading, and mildew.

    Service Includes:

    • Comprehensive Interior Cleaning using Starke Mildew Clean, a powerful but safe solution to eliminate mold, mildew, and organic buildup from vinyl, cushions, and crevices.

    • Flooring Expertise — whether your boat features EVA foam, woven vinyl, teak, or synthetic options, we tailor our process to restore and preserve even the most exotic flooring types.

    • UV & Mildew Protection with 3D LVP Conditioner, a professional-grade treatment for leather, vinyl, and plastic surfaces that nourishes, restores flexibility, and builds resistance to UV rays and mildew growth.

    Why It Matters:
    Sun, salt, and moisture take a toll on your boat’s interior. Our specialized process doesn’t just clean — it extends the life of your materials, prevents cracking and fading, and ensures your boat looks, feels, and smells fresh all season long.

  • Professional-Grade Ceramic Protection for Ultimate Shine & Defense

    Our Ceramic Coating Package is designed for discerning boat owners seeking maximum surface protection, enhanced gloss, and long-term durability. This multi-step process deep cleans, corrects, and locks in your vessel’s finish with one of the most advanced marine coatings available.

    Service Includes:

    • Comprehensive Wash Down using Dawn-powered foam cannon and degreasers to strip away contaminants, waxes, and buildup — preparing the surface for correction and bonding.

    • Surface Polish with Wake Up by Shine Supply, rejuvenating the gelcoat and enhancing clarity while removing light haze.

    • Heavy Cut Correction using Menzerna 400, a high-performance compound that eliminates oxidation, swirls, and surface defects — creating a flawless foundation for coating.

    • Ceramic Coating Application of Starke Liquid Thor, a premium-grade marine ceramic that provides long-lasting hydrophobic protection, enhanced UV resistance, and a deep, wet gloss. Once cured, it forms a durable shield against saltwater, UV rays, and environmental damage.

    Why It Matters:
    Ceramic coatings aren’t just about appearance — they protect your investment, make maintenance easier, and ensure your vessel stays showroom-ready longer. With Starke Liquid Thor, you get cutting-edge marine surface protection with professional precision and certified expertise.
