A growing roster of South Florida yacht owners, captains and crew trust YSR with their finish. Here's what they say.
Matthew and the YSR crew brought our hull back from years of Florida sun. The mirror finish on the gelcoat is unreal — owner was speechless at the dock. Scheduling around our charter calendar was effortless.
We had badly oxidized topsides and milky isinglass. They restored everything in one visit at our slip in Fort Lauderdale. Communication, pricing and quality were all top-tier. Already booked them for the annual ceramic refresh.
I've worked with every major detailer in South Florida. YSR's prep and polish is the cleanest I've seen — zero swirls, no compound dust left anywhere. The Lat 26° ceramic has held up beautifully through summer storms.
Teak decks looked dead. They didn't sand them to oblivion like the last guy — used a proper cleaning and brightening process. Grain is gorgeous again and the deck feels solid underfoot.
Booked YSR for paint correction before a Bahamas crossing. They worked early mornings so crew could do provisioning. The Awlgrip came back to showroom condition. Owner texted me three times asking how it looked so good.
Honest estimate, no upsell games. They told me which surfaces needed the full restoration and which just needed a maintenance polish. That kind of transparency is rare. Highly recommend.
Stainless rails were pitting and the anchor windlass was a mess. YSR's metal polishing brought everything back to a deep chrome-like shine. Sealed it after so it's stayed clean for months. Worth every dollar.
We bought our boat secondhand and the previous owner had neglected the finish. YSR put together a full surface restoration plan — gelcoat, glass, metal, ceramic — and stuck to the timeline and budget. Our broker said the boat now looks better than when she left the factory.
Acrylic windows were hazed and scratched. They polished them clear without any distortion — owner was thrilled because we were quoted full window replacement elsewhere. Saved tens of thousands.
