Polishing a yacht – this is how it’s done!
Why is it necessary to polish a yacht and which surfaces can be polished we will explain what is important for a perfect polish..
“There are two colours for a yacht: white or black. But only a fool would colour his boat black.” – Nathanael Herreshoff, one of the most famous naval architects, mechanical engineers and innovators in yacht design in the 20th century.
A yacht simply has to shine, doesn’t it? There is nothing nicer than when the pier neighbour admires your shiny yacht, maybe is even a little jealous! The glossy treatment for your boat is really no magic. It is rather a process of blood and tears to get to the high gloss shine – “Beauty is pain.” – isn’t it how the saying goes? To make your boat sparkle, you have to pay attention to a few things and consult an expert if you have any doubts.
Why is a yacht being polished in the first place and which surfaces can be polished?
A yacht is being polished to remove irregularities, minor damages and dirt from the surface and to protect the boat from external influences. Depending on the type of surface, the technique and means for polishing are also subject to change and need to be adjusted accordingly. The most common surfaces which are being polished are: Gelcoat, lacquered surfaces and surfaces with applied foil.
The gelcoat is an approximately 1.5 mm thin outer skin of the GRP laminate. The gelcoat becomes dull over time due to the influence of sun, salt, lime scale and wind. Boats that are coloured in darker colours, but also grey or blue hulls, suffer most from this – remember the quote from the beginning of this text.
Dark gelcoat becomes milky with time, or gets a matt white layer. This can usually be brought back to shine, but this requires a lot of effort. Unfortunately, the gloss effect does not last as long as with white gelcoat.
Use the right polishing agent
Before polishing, regardless of the surface, the boat is first washed thoroughly. With gelcoat, polishing is usually carried out in 2 steps. In the first step, abrasive agents are applied to renew and smooth the surface. In the second step, the surface is sealed. For new yachts that are still relatively shiny, you can skip the abrasive polishing and just apply the sealant after cleaning.
Lacquered boats can be polished as well. Here, one also works only with sealant, without abrasive polishing. With lacquered surfaces, you must pay attention to which agents are permitted by the paint manufacturer. As a general rule, all polishing agents must be chemically approved.
Foiled surfaces can also be polished, abrasively and finely. It is possible to remove fine scratches from the foil, but you must be very careful not to polish away the outer paint layer. Here, too, you must use only those agents that are recommended by the foil manufacturer. Most of them have a specification of chemical substances which must not be present in the polishing agent in order to be suitable for the selected foil.
Conclusion: A good polish will help maintain the value of your yacht for many years. Achieving a perfect surface finish usually takes a lot of time and effort. The person who carries out the polishing work must have a feeling for it and use their brains together with their muscles! Practically all surfaces can be polished. You have to make sure that you use the right polishing agent for each surface.
Polishing: The 3-Step Guide
Polishing is usually done in three steps:
- Step 1: Cleaning/Washing
- Step 2: Polishing
- Step 3: Sealing
Polished, the boat is easier to wash and clean in season, because rain marks, pollen and other dirt adhere less to the smooth surface. On dark surfaces, any dirt and marks are extremely noticeable and the effect of the polish lasts for a shorter time.
Dull and milky gelcoat is more than just a visual problem: it accelerates the deterioration of the hull. That’s why it’s important to have your boat polished regularly – preferably by a professional, and then desalinate and wash it down with fresh water regularly when you use it in season. Professional polishing will bring back the shine to your yacht. A professional will also identify any structural cracks in the surfaces so that a response can be made in time and necessary measures taken to prevent the cracks from spreading.
If you would like to have your boat professionally polished, we at Merk & Merk are at your disposal with over 15 years of experience. Contact us for a quote!

Yachtlackierung - Professionell seit über 20 Jahren
Seit 20 Jahren haben wir uns dem perfekten Finish von Yachten und Booten verschrieben. Warum? Weil hier Nutzwert und Ästhetik eine wunderbare Verbindung eingehen.
Alle Arbeiten an Yachtoberflächen als auch Unterwasserschiffen finden in einer geschlossenen, staubfreien Lackierhalle statt, ob Komplettlackierungen oder Spot-Repair.
Neben der perfekten Arbeitsweise sehen wir die Verarbeitung hochwertiger Materialien als Notwendigkeit, um Qualität garantieren zu können. Sie möchten schließlich lange viel Freude an Ihrer Yacht haben. Deshalb verwenden wir erstklassige Lacke von AWLGRIP, International, Sikkens oder ALEXSEAL sowie weitere 2-Komponenten-Lacksysteme.

Nach einigen Saisons verliert jedes Boot seinen Glanz. Durch eine Kombination aus Sandstrahl- und Lackiertechnik bieten wir Neulackierung in Spitzenqualität. Mit hochwertigen Produkten garantieren wir Abriebfestigkeit, Brillanz und Farbtonbeständigkeit über Jahre hinweg.
Beispiel einer Spritzlackierung
Fachlich sind wir versiert im Bereich der Zweikomponentensysteme (2-K Lack). 2-K-Lackierungen versprechen eine höhere Qualität und Lebensdauer als Einkomponentensysteme.
Yachten aus Stahl und Aluminium haben aufgrund der Korrosionsgefahr besondere Ansprüche. Durch Sandstrahlen, Spachteln und Grundieren erfolgt eine Vorbehandlung. Erst danach wird lackiert. Die Methode des Sandstrahlens ist zweckmäßiger und sicherer als die des Fiberschleifens.
Eine Epoxid-Grundierung wird im Hochdruck-Spritzverfahren lösemittelarm, dickschichtig und gleichmäßig aufgetragen. Nach Prüfung des Untergrundes wird mit dem Feinschliff eine reine Oberfläche für die Endlackierung erreicht. In der Lackieranlage wird bei optimaler Temperatur und Lichtverhältnissen der Lack in mehreren Spritzgängen aufgetragen. Im letzten Arbeitsschritt erhält Ihre Yacht den Wasserpass und Zierstreifen. Beschriftungen werden nach Ihren Vorstellungen und Wünschen, entweder als Folie oder als Lackierung, angebracht.
Lackierung Zierstreifen
Antifouling.
Bewuchs am Unterwasserschiff verringert die Geschwindigkeit und greift auf Dauer die Außenhaut an. Das Antifouling verhindert dies. Die zwei Varianten dazu sind Hartantifoulings und Polierende Antifoulings. Welches Antifouling sich für Ihre Yacht am besten eignet, hängt u. a. vom Typ, der Geschwindigkeit und der Wasserbeschaffenheit ab. Wir beraten Sie dazu kompetent.
Wir empfehlen, diese Schutz- und Pflegemaßnahme einmal jährlich durchzuführen.
Lackierungstechnik – GFK
Eine 2K-Polyurethan-Lackierung wird notwendig, wenn das Polieren des matten und porösen Gelcoats (die äußerste, eingefärbte Schicht des Polyesterrumpfes) nicht mehr oder nur für kurze Zeit den Glanz Ihrer Yacht wiederbringt. Ihre Yacht wird in der Halle geschliffen, eventuelle GFK-Schäden werden laminiert und Unebenheiten werden gespachtelt.
Eine Epoxid-Grundierung wird mit Spritzdruck lösemittelarm, dickschichtig und gleichmäßig aufgetragen. Haarrisse oder mikrofeine Poren im Gelcoat werden erst nach dem Grundieren sichtbar. Diese müssen in jedem Fall noch aufgearbeitet werden, damit der Feinschliff für eine einwandfreie Oberfläche sorgt und so eine bestmögliche Endlackierung garantiert werden kann.
In der Lackieranlage wird bei optimaler Temperatur und Lichtverhältnissen der Lack in mehreren Spritzgängen aufgetragen. Im letzten Arbeitsschritt erhält Ihre Yacht Wasserpass- und Zierstreifen-Lackierung. Auch hier werden nach Ihren Wünschen und Vorstellungen die Schriften angebracht.

Yacht paint to protect and maintain the beauty of your vessel
All day long, yacht paint is under attack. Regardless of whether it's the waters of the Caribbean or northern Europe, the impeccable paintwork is persistently subjected to erosion by the forces of nature. Algae and plankton are continuously dining out on the top coat, while sodium chloride from salt water and UV rays are flaking away all paint above the water surface.
Yachts require repainting as a crucial protective measure. While efforts can be made to minimize damage, there is no way to eliminate the inherent risks, making it necessary to repaint yachts every 4 to 7 years, depending on their cruising locations. The repainting process for a yacht is meticulous and time-consuming. When considering the substantial size of a superyacht, the task at hand transforms from arduous to truly monumental. Successfully repainting a superyacht demands a level of skill and expertise that can be likened to an art form.
