Ceramic Coating Myths Every Yacht Owner Should Stop Believing

Ask any boat owner and you’ll hear mixed things about ceramic coatings. Some swear by them, others think they’re overhyped. But a lot of this comes down to myths that just won’t go away.
One common myth is that ceramic coating makes your boat maintenance-free. Not true. The truth about ceramic coating for boats is that it makes cleaning easier, not unnecessary. You’ll still rinse and wash, but grime won’t stick the same way.
Another myth: all coatings work the same. They don’t. Cheap options won’t hold up in real marine conditions. That’s why many boat owners trust Sea-Shield — they make some of the best ceramic coatings for boats that spend serious time on the water.
And here’s another one: “My boat’s too old for a coating.” Wrong again. Even older boats benefit from the extra layer. It helps protect faded gel coat, keeps UV damage in check, and saves money on future polishing.
Don’t buy into the old myths. Do the research, get the facts straight, and pick a quality product. Your boat will thank you — and you’ll spend more weekends cruising, not scrubbing.
