From gray & weathered to warm honey — safely.
Our two-part teak treatment cleans deep-set grime, neutralizes and brightens the wood, then optionally seals with a marine teak oil or sealer so your decks stay beautiful longer.
What this service is really about.
Teak that's been baked by South Florida sun turns silver-gray, opens grain, and traps dirt in ways a regular wash can't reach. A proper teak treatment uses a two-part chemical system — an alkaline cleaner to lift dirt and old finish, followed by an acidic brightener to neutralize the wood and restore its natural golden tone.
We brush across the grain (never with it) using soft-bristle pads to protect the soft summer wood between the harder rings, so your teak stays smooth and true, not grooved. If you want long-term color retention, we finish with a semi-permanent sealer or traditional teak oil, matched to your maintenance preference.
Real results — from a real crew.

Common questions.
Will this thin out my teak?
No. We use chemistry-first cleaning with soft brushes, not sandpaper — so wood loss is minimal compared to aggressive sanding methods.
Sealer or oil — which lasts longer?
Modern marine sealers hold color for 6–12+ months in South Florida sun. Traditional oil looks great but needs re-application every 6–8 weeks.
How often should teak be treated?
Most boats do great with a full cleaner/brightener once or twice a year, with light maintenance washes in between.
