Boat wraps are large vinyl graphic or colored film that is applied to the exterior of a boat to change its appearance, protect the hull, display branding, or add custom graphics.
Most professionally installed marine wraps last 5β7 years, depending on exposure to UV rays, saltwater, maintenance, storage conditions, and usage.
Once we have your boat in our facility, most of our wraps take between 2β7 days to complete, depending on wrap complexity and the size of your boat.

Depending on the extent of your wrap, cleats, rails, lights, and trim might need temporary removal.
Old wraps and decals should be removed before a new wrap is applied.
Minor imperfections can be hidden, but severe damage must be repaired first.
Light oxidation can often be fixed or improved before a wrap is applied, but severe oxidation must be corrected before your boat is wrapped.

To keep your wrapped boat looking its best, regularly wash it using fresh water, a mild soap, and a soft microfiber cloth or sponge.
After saltwater use, always rinse your boat thoroughly to remove salt buildup, fuel, and other contaminants that can stain or damage the vinyl over time. Hand washing is recommended for the safest and best results.
Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive brushes, and strong solvents, as these can damage the wrapβs finish and reduce its lifespan. Pressure washing can be used carefully at low pressure and from a safe distance. Whenever possible, store your boat undercover or use a cover to protect the wrap from prolonged UV exposure and keep it looking newer for longer.
Covered storage helps extend wrap life by protecting it from prolonged UV exposure.
Wraps aren’t intended to stay below the waterline for extended submersion. Prolonged exposure to saltwater may damage your wrap and significantly reduce its lifespan.
Boats should be rinsed after every outing to remove any lingering saltwater and contaminants. Thorough monthly cleaning is recommended to keep it in top condition.
Some wraps are compatible with certain wrap-safe sealants, but traditional waxes may not be recommended. Contact us and we’ll be happy to chat about what you have in mind, to confirm whether it’ll work with our wraps.
Certain wrap-safe ceramic coatings are compatible. Contact us and we’ll be happy to chat about what you have in mind, to confirm whether it’ll work with our wraps.
