Boat Detailing in Pompano Beach
Calcium in the water leaves a yellow waterline, and soot from the jet airports streaks the gelcoat. We remove it and protect against it.
Boat detailing in Pompano Beach
Pompano Beach sits next to what some call the yacht capital of the world, and it has many yachts of its own. With deep-water canals and areas with no fixed bridges, you will find sportfishermen in Lighthouse Point, motor yachts down the Intracoastal, and beautiful center consoles down the canals. In most communities you will find every type imaginable. It is the perfect mix, and it depends solely on preference, with few limitations.
The yellow stain you see on Pompano boats is formed by calcium in the water. It shows up as a clear waterline running the length of the boat, and it comes from sitting in the water without bottom paint. The farther you are from the inlet, the faster it happens.
Pompano is located between the Boca and Pompano jet airports, so we often see soot stains in the form of black streaks. Soot settles on the boat as dust. When it rains, more contaminated water drops onto the boat and picks up the soot already there. That carbon fallout bonds to the gelcoat, and without a protective layer in between it becomes extremely difficult to remove.

A recent Pompano job: the Sea Ray that was too far gone
We do many sanding jobs in Pompano. One in particular was a Sea Ray the owner thought was too far gone. We had to sand all the way down to 225 grit to get the finish we wanted.
We first did it so the owner could cut ties with the boat and sell it. After seeing his beautifully detailed boat, he decided to keep it, and we still maintain it four years later.
