Yachts and Boats: The Ideal Care Routine with Hagerty Products

Whether you are passionate about sailing or a lover of cruises, keeping a yacht or boat clean and well-maintained is essential. Salt, humidity, splashes, and delicate materials can quickly make nautical maintenance a real challenge.

Fortunately, Hagerty, an expert in the care of precious objects since 1895, offers a comprehensive range of highly specialised cleaning products designed to take care of your vessel — inside and out.

Why is Boat Maintenance Essential?

The marine environment is especially harsh:

• It tarnishes metals

• Soils fabrics

• Weakens leather

• Damages plastics

With proper and regular care, you can:

✔ Preserve the value and aesthetics of the boat

✔ Ensure optimal comfort on board

✔ Extend the lifespan of high-end materials

How to Maintain the Interior of a Yacht or Boat?

Caring for Fine Leather

Cabins and lounges are often furnished with high-end leather that requires regular care:

• Leather Spray & Leather Care: clean, nourish, and protect leather without altering its colour.

Natural Wood Care

Furniture and finishes made of natural wood need special attention to retain their shine:

• Wood Spray & Wood Care: nourish and quickly restore the natural lustre of wood surfaces.

Metal Cleaning

Handrails, faucets, and decorative items are exposed to salt and moisture, which can lead to tarnishing:

• White Metal Polish & Duster : effective formulas that restore shine to steel, stainless steel, and chrome.

• Copper, Brass & Bronze Polish & Duster: exclusive formulas for cleaning copper, brass, and bronze.

• Silver Polish & Silver Duster: Hagerty’s signature formulas for maintaining silver and silver-plated objects.

Plastic and Screen Maintenance

Multimedia devices and plastic surfaces require gentle yet effective care over time:

• Multimedia Spray & High Tech Cloth: the perfect duo for cleaning screens (monitors, displays, smartphones, tablets, etc.)

• Antistatic Duster: pre-impregnated cloth with antistatic properties — ideal for glossy or matt plastic, screens, lacquered or wooden surfaces.

• High Tech Plastic Care: cleaning spray for interior plastic and PVC surfaces, offering an antistatic effect.

Textile and Carpet Cleaning

Carpets, cushions, and fabric sofas absorb marine humidity and odours and occasionally need a refresh:

• Foam Shampoo: cleansing foam that revives fibres and freshens the surface.

• Dry Shampoo: dry powder that restores freshness to non-washable textiles (like mattresses).

• SOS Spot Remover: fast-acting stain remover for all washable fabrics.

• Odour Eliminator: neutralizes and eliminates unpleasant odours (seaweed, moisture, food…).

• Blue H Machine + 5* Shampoo Concentrate: a complete solution for deep cleaning carpets, rugs, and upholstery.

Small Surfaces: Microfibre Gloves

• Microfibre Gloves: 3 gloves designed for glass, stainless steel, and tiles — usable without detergent, ideal for quick cleaning between stops.
