Benefits of Hiring Professional Yacht Refinishers
Coatings applied to manufacturer spec
Awlgrip and Alexseal publish strict application requirements for primer film build, recoat times, and environmental conditions. A certified applicator follows those specs to the letter, which is why a properly applied coating delivers 8 to 12 years of gloss life. Cutting corners on prep or coating thickness shortens that lifespan dramatically.
Saltwater and UV protection that holds up
Marine paint is a system: epoxy primer, fairing compound, color coat, clear coat. Skip any one layer or use the wrong product underneath and you get blistering, microcracking, or gloss collapse within months of finishing the work. Done right, the system seals the substrate against moisture, salt, and UV for the full life of the coating.
Stronger resale at
survey
Marine surveyors and buyers can spot a quality refinish vs. a rushed one in seconds. A documented Awlgrip or Alexseal job, applied by certified labor, supports the asking price and avoids survey concessions. Substandard refinishing typically takes 20% to 30% off resale value.
Predictable scope, schedule, and price
A real refinishing quote spells out scope, materials, labor hours, and a delivery date. Newmil Marine quotes a fixed price after walking the boat. Generic pricing without a hull inspection almost always misses something, and that's where projects blow past their original number.
Skip the haulout
fee
Topside work doesn't require haulout, and our mobile crews are set up to work alongside your boat at its current slip or in any of the Dania Beach yards. That keeps haulout and blocking costs out of your invoice and keeps your boat available between work phases.
Lower cost of ownership long term
A spec-applied finish needs cleaning, polishing, and the occasional touch-up. A finish that wasn't applied to spec needs partial recoats, full recoats, and constant chasing. The difference shows up in your maintenance budget every year for the life of the boat.
About Newmil Marine
Newmil Marine is a yacht refinishing and marine coatings company serving coastal Florida from Jacksonville south to Miami, plus Savannah, Georgia. We hold manufacturer certifications from Awlgrip (AkzoNobel) and Alexseal (Mankiewicz), and we’ve been refinishing yachts for over 25 years. Dania Beach holds the densest cluster of working yacht yards in South Florida, which is exactly why we run so much work through this market.
Our crews are fully mobile. We work at Lauderdale Marine Center, Marina Bay Yacht Harbor, the Dania Cut-Off Canal yards, and the major refit facilities along Griffin Road and SE 17th Street. Every project runs under owner-led quality control, so the same standard applies whether we’re shooting topcoat on a 38-foot Back Cove or a 90-foot custom motoryacht. We specialize in Sabre and Back Cove hulls and handle everything from full hull refinishes to deck restorations and gelcoat repair.
Our Services
Yacht Painting and Refinishing
Newmil Marine refinishes yachts at every major Dania Beach yard. As Awlgrip and Alexseal certified applicators, we run full-system finishes with controlled prep, primer, and topcoat. The Dania Cut-Off Canal corridor is our home turf, and we know which yards run booth time, which run open-air, and how to schedule around both.
- Full hull and topside refinishing on 30 to 130-foot yachts
- Boot stripe, sheer, and detail line restoration
- Mast, hardtop, and superstructure refinishing
- Awlgrip 2 and Alexseal Premium Topcoat full-system applications
- Color changes, custom blends, and factory color matches
Fiberglass Repair and Refinishing
Refinishing a fiberglass boat in Dania Beach begins with substrate inspection. We address laminate damage, gelcoat cracking, and water intrusion before any new coating system goes on. Fiberglass yacht repair done right means the new paint bonds to stable, sound material and won’t telegraph existing defects through the finish.
- Structural laminate repairs and core replacement
- Gelcoat repair, color matching, and full restoration
- Stress crack and impact damage correction
- Oxidation removal and surface fairing
- Pre-paint fiberglass refinishing in Dania Beach
Deck Refinishing and Teak Restoration
Dania Beach summers are tough on decks. Two-part teak cleaners followed by light sanding bring teak back to clean wood without grinding away thickness. We finish in either oiled or sealed depending on how you want to maintain it, and we treat painted nonskid and synthetic decks with the same prep discipline.
- Teak deck cleaning, sanding, and sealing or oiling
- Painted nonskid restoration with anti-slip additive
- Boat deck refinishing on covering boards and swim platforms
- Yacht deck repair for soft spots, voids, and water-damaged core
- Cockpit and helm deck refinishing

What our clients are saying...
Frequently Asked Questions
Dania Beach has more concentrated yard infrastructure than Fort Lauderdale itself. The Dania Cut-Off Canal runs east to the Intracoastal and is lined with refit-capable yards. For larger projects that need booth time, indoor space, or heavy equipment, Dania Beach is usually the more practical choice.
Yes. Pre-sale refinishing is one of our most common Dania Beach project types. We focus the scope on what a marine surveyor will flag (gloss loss, color drift, gelcoat oxidation, deck wear) and run a tight, documented job that supports the asking price at survey.
Either way. Topside work doesn’t require haulout, and we run mobile setups for projects at private docks. For full hull refinishes including bottom work, we coordinate haulout at the yard that suits your hull size and timing.
Empty personal gear, secure or remove canvas and electronics that need protection, and let us know about any soft spots, leaks, or known issues. We handle everything else, including masking, surface prep, and protection of running gear.
