Teak Restoration

Some of our customers prefer their teak to retain the weathered silver/grey appearance. In these cases we use Boracol 10RH which will ensure the teak decks are kept mould and algae free. Boracol is endorsed by X-Yachts and Hallberg Rassy and also used by the Malo Brokerage at Lymington Yacht Haven on their owners yachts.

Teak Renovation

Over time, teak naturally turns from its new straw-like colour to a silver/grey. We use a two part cleaner and restorer from Wessex Chemicals. Part one, the cleaner, removes all the dirt and grime and green, whilst part two, the renovator restores the colour to eventually dry to its original straw colour. Wessex Teak Cleaner and Teak Renovator are not harmful to aquatic life or the marine environment. Their test results show that the two products quickly turn into harmless salts after use.

Acid Clean of Waterline

A common problem for yachts left in the water for a considerable length of time is yellowing of the gelcoat at the waterline. We use a specialist acid that will, more often than not, completely remove the yellowing, or on the more stubborn yachts, greatly reduce the yellowing and enhance the appearance of the waterline.

Anode Replacement

We can remove your worn anodes and source and replace with new. Contact us for details.

For Sale Preparation

We offer a fully comprehensive yacht and boat valeting service tailored specifically to those yachts about to enter onto the brokerage market as we are conscious that a well presented yacht is a saleable yacht. We believe that if your yacht is presented at its best, when an offer is made, the ability for the potential buyer to haggle because of insignificant valeting issues are greatly reduced, if not completely removed. Our For sale preparation service will give your yacht or boat a complete valet tailored to your individual needs. An example of our success can be found on our Testimonials page, ".........Simon Quinn's team undoubtedly made an enormous contribution to the quick sale of the boat........"

Dehumidifier and Heater Loan

During the months of the year when the weather conditions can lead to damp and condensation inside your boat, resulting in growth of mould spores, we have Dehumidifiers and Heaters available on a monthly loan basis. Contact us for details.
