Ultimate Protection Packages
Marine Protection Film (PPF)
Marine Protection Film (PPF) is a virtually invisible, ultra-durable physical barrier designed for the harsh conditions of Nanaimo and Vancouver Island, protecting your gelcoat from dock rash, fender scuffs, impacts, and UV damage. It preserves your finish, reduces maintenance, and keeps your boat looking newer for longer.
Ceramic Coating
Ceramic Coating (Starke Yacht Care) is a premium, long-lasting coating applied by BC’s only certified installer. It bonds to your gelcoat to deliver deep gloss, strong UV protection, and a slick, hydrophobic finish that repels water, salt, and grime—keeping your boat cleaner, reducing oxidation, and lowering maintenance.
Si02 Polymer Sealant Wax
Our entry-level protection—far superior to traditional boat waxes. It forms a durable, water-repellent layer over your gelcoat, helping resist UV damage, grime, and light oxidation, while keeping cleaning easier and maintaining your boat’s shine with minimal effort.
