Stop waxing your boat
every season. There's a
better way to protect it.
Marina del Rey's Certified Yacht Armor Installer
If your boat is docked at Marina del Rey, King Harbor, or anywhere along the LA coastline, you already know how fast the Southern California sun and salt air destroy a gelcoat finish. Catalina Crew installs Yacht Armor — the first self-healing marine protection film — so you can stop waxing every season and stay on the water longer.
THE PROBLEM
Marina del Rey Boat Owners Spend Thousands Every Year on Maintenance They Shouldn't Have To
Between the UV off Santa Monica Bay, the salt air, and the tight quarters in MDR and King Harbor slips, your hull, gelcoat, and outboard take a beating year-round.
UV fading & oxidation
SoCal sun destroys gelcoat within a season without real protection — leaving your hull chalky and dull no matter how often you wash it.
Salt air corrosion
The air off Santa Monica Bay is relentless on outboard covers and hull sides. Salt etching causes permanent cosmetic damage wax can't prevent.
Dock rash & scratches
Tight slips at MDR mean scrapes happen. Every nick means another buffing appointment — time and money you'd rather spend on the water.
Wax that doesn't last
Ceramic coatings and wax degrade in 12–18 months — often faster in SoCal conditions. You're on a maintenance cycle that never ends.
THE SOLUTION
What is marine protection film — and why Marina del Rey boat owners are switching
Yacht Armor is the first marine protection film (MPF) built specifically for the ocean environment. It's not a wax and it's not a ceramic coating — it's a nano-engineered physical barrier that bonds to your hull, outboard, and surfaces, self-heals minor scratches, blocks UV radiation, and repels salt and grime.

FAQ
Common questions from Marina del Rey boat owners
How is Yacht Armor different from ceramic coating or wax?
Wax and ceramic sit on the surface and degrade fast under SoCal sun — you're reapplying every season. Yacht Armor is a physical marine protection film that self-heals scratches, blocks UV at a molecular level, and is the only product built specifically for saltwater conditions. It lasts up to 3 years.
Do you come to Marina del Rey or do I have to move my boat?
We come to you. Catalina Crew is fully mobile and services slips throughout Marina del Rey, Fisherman's Village, King Harbor in Redondo Beach, and surrounding LA marinas. Your boat stays in the slip the entire time.
Does boat protection film work on fiberglass boats?
Yes. Yacht Armor bonds to fiberglass, gelcoat, and painted surfaces — the most common hull materials on boats docked at MDR.
How much does Yacht Armor installation cost in Marina del Rey?
Cost depends on vessel size and coverage area — hull only, outboard, screens, or all three. Contact us for a free dockside quote. Most MDR boat owners find it pays for itself within 1–2 seasons when you factor in waxing, polishing, and gelcoat repairs avoided.
How long does installation take?
It depends on the boat. We will give you an estimated timeline during your quote We work around your schedule and never require you to move the boat.
