Franklin, MA’s Top Shop for Boat Ceramic Coating 

At RI Motorsports and Detail, our marine-grade ceramic coating gives your boat a glass-like gloss while locking in durable protection against UV rays, oxidation, and the algae buildup common on New England waters. We start with a meticulous wash and decontamination to remove salt, minerals, and stains, then apply a premium ceramic formula that chemically bonds to gelcoat surfaces. The result is a slick, hydrophobic barrier that repels water, grime, and fish scales, making rinse-downs fast and effortless after a day on the water. With reduced drag and long-lasting shine, your vessel stays looking showroom-fresh season after season, so you can spend less time scrubbing at the dock and more time enjoying the open water.

What’s Marine Ceramic Coating?

GET A FREE ESTIMATE

Marine ceramic coating is built on nanotechnology, using microscopic particles that bond chemically to your boat’s gelcoat, paint, or metal surfaces. Once applied, these particles form a semi-permanent, invisible shield that fills in tiny pores and irregularities, creating an ultra-smooth, hydrophobic layer. This surface repels water, grime, algae, and salt with ease, reducing buildup and making cleanup after a day on the Charles River or Narragansett Bay dramatically faster. Because the coating cures into a hard, chemically resistant shell, it also defends against UV rays, oxidation, and staining, issues that are especially common in Franklin-area climates where freshwater and brackish environments meet. It's not just a cosmetic upgrade, it's a performance-enhancing barrier that keeps your boat cleaner, sleeker, and easier to maintain.

Easier Cleaning After Time on the Water

Boating in and around Franklin often means exposure to everything from freshwater algae in local lakes to salt spray on coastal day trips. Marine ceramic coating forms a hydrophobic layer that repels water, dirt, and grime, making cleanup a breeze. Instead of scrubbing away stuck-on debris or mineral deposits, most messes rinse right off. That means less time at the dock with a hose and more time enjoying the water.

Long-Lasting UV and Oxidation Resistance

New England’s mix of strong sun and salty air can take a toll on your boat’s finish, leading to dull, chalky surfaces and faded gelcoat. A ceramic coating provides powerful UV protection, blocking the sun’s harmful rays and helping your boat retain its deep color and shine for years. For boat owners who store their vessels outdoors or use them regularly on the coast, this added layer of defense can extend the life of your investment.

Professional-Grade Gloss and Curb Appeal

A properly applied ceramic coating doesn’t just protect. It enhances. Whether your boat is docked at a marina near Franklin or trailered to Cape Cod for the weekend, a ceramic finish gives it a mirror-like gloss that turns heads. It brings out the richness of your boat’s original color and keeps it looking showroom-ready, no matter how often you hit the water. It's the kind of sleek, well-maintained appearance that stands out at the boat launch or marina.

// Here’s the Important Stuff 

Answering Top Marine Ceramic Coating FAQs

  • 1. What is marine ceramic coating and how does it work?

    Marine ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that chemically bonds to your boat’s surface, creating a durable, hydrophobic barrier. This coating repels water, resists oxidation, and protects against UV rays and environmental contaminants. In a boating community where vessels are often exposed to both freshwater and coastal conditions, ceramic coating is an excellent way to safeguard your boat’s finish while making routine cleaning much easier.

  • 2. How long does ceramic coating last on a boat?

    With proper maintenance, a marine ceramic coating can last several years or more. In Franklin, many boaters use their vessels seasonally, which can help extend the life of the coating compared to boats in year-round climates. Regular rinsing and occasional gentle washes will help preserve the finish and keep your boat looking like new throughout the boating season.

  • 3. Is ceramic coating better than waxing for my boat?

    Yes, ceramic coating offers significantly longer-lasting protection compared to traditional wax. While wax may last a few months at best, ceramic coatings chemically bond to your boat’s surface and provide resistance to UV rays, salt, algae, and oxidation. For boat owners who want to minimize upkeep while maximizing gloss and protection, ceramic coating is a more efficient, long-term solution.

  • 4. Can you come to me to apply the coating, or do I need to bring the boat in?

    All marine ceramic coating services must be performed at our shop in Franklin. We do not offer mobile services. This ensures we can control the environment—temperature, lighting, and cleanliness—for optimal results. Bringing your boat to our Franklin location also gives us access to the right tools and lifts to deliver a meticulous, high-quality application.

  • 5. How do I care for my boat after ceramic coating?

    After your boat has been coated, care is simple. Rinse it after each use to remove any salt or contaminants, and use a pH-neutral soap for occasional washes. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals. Boaters will appreciate that coated surfaces are easier to maintain after time on Lake Pearl or trips to coastal Massachusetts. With minimal effort, your boat will continue to shine all season long.
