Boat maintenance

"Boat Cleaning isn’t rocket science, but it is an art form"

Professional boat detailing goes much further than simply cleaning your yacht, and is more important than simple aesthetic appeal. As a boat owner it’s a constant battle against the elements. Sun, sea and salt water constantly attacks your paint, gel coat, metal, leather, vinyl and isinglass in a very harsh environment. Regularly washing off salt with fresh water goes a long way towards preventing unnecessary erosion, however preventative protection will not only keep your yacht glistening, it will extend its life and reduce depreciation, simply put:

"You’ve made a major investment, it makes financial sense to look after it."

Here at Avel Yachting we take great pride in our work and provide the highest level of boat cleaning service. Whether we are bringing a yacht back to life, creating a little extra shine or continuing a regular boat maintenance program, we will conduct our work with the utmost professionalism and attention to detail. Our service can be adapted to suit any requirements and budget.

Wash & Shine

Boat washing with a twist. We use a non abrasive wash & wax to wash off all the salt and dirt, without stripping any of the boat wax coating protecting your paint or gel coat. However, we further add a separate ’quick wax’ spray before drying the yacht with chamois.

Oxidation Removal & Wax

Gone are the days when we have to use hard, abrasive rubbing compounds to literally scrape the oxidation off of gel coat. We use the latest liquid Oxidation Remover that simply washes off oxidation to bring back the shine without abrasion. This is followed by the application boat Wax, a professional grade marine wax providing the highest standard of long lasting shine. This service truly brings boat detailing to a whole new level.

Metal Restoration

All metal work from bow rail to cleats to T-Top stands, our metal restoration service removes rust and tarnish from all metal types, shining and protecting against future erosion.
