Yacht Paint Protection
& Beautification

Over 25 years ago, CEO/Founder Luc Lefebvre d’Argencé began treating yachts with Permagard from the Benetti shipyards in Livorno, Italy, through the French Riviera, all the way to Palma de Mallorca in Spain. Just like our aviation history, our marine roots run deep in Permagard.

Permagard is an ISO 9001-certified company. All of our aviation-grade products, which are handmade and manufactured with American-made materials exclusively at our Permagard Headquarters in Miami, FL, USA, adhere to the strict ISO 9001 quality standards set by our quality management system. This is imperative for us to bring you the most outstanding product quality with zero defects.

Boats and yachts encounter harsh environments all over the world, so having a high-quality paint protection product is vital to protecting your asset’s structure and appearance. As the original aviation-grade coating that offers the most exceptional protection and shine for all painted and gelcoat surfaces, let us tell you why Permagard is the best solution for your yacht paint protection needs.

How Does Permagard Work?

Permagard is a handmade, aviation-grade paint protection coating that is applied directly on top of your boat’s painted surfaces and gelcoat surfaces.
Permagard protects and enhances your boat’s paint and gelcoat, ensuring maximum environmental protection from all sea regions around the world, and a stunning glossy finish that shines like the sun on the sea.

Cross-Linking

The Permagard coating utilizes a chemical bonding process called, “cross-linking”, which creates a strongly linked chain of ionic bonds that produces highly-durable paint protection across the entire treated surface. This chemistry provides the best non-invasive form of paint protection, ensuring that your paint and gelcoat will be strongly protected against environmental attacks.

Environmental Attacks

Environmental attacks such as UV radiation, saltwater, salt-laden air, grease, solvents, algae, and sea debris are natural and inevitable occurrences in the marine world. Permagard acts as a highly-durable sacrificial layer, producing 4 microns of highly flexible thickness to protect your boat’s paint and gelcoat. Permagard acts as the first line of defense against environmental attacks to protect your boat’s paint and gelcoat as much as possible with virtually no added weight.

Unmatched Shine

The Permagard coating does more than protect your vessel’s painted surfaces and gel-coated surfaces. Permagard greatly enhances and vivifies all painted surfaces. Once treated by a certified applicator, Permagard renders your yacht a remarkable shine, producing a bright, vivid gloss that cannot be replicated by competitive products. Your yacht will assuredly turn heads at the shipyard when being launched into the bay with regular gloss unit readings in the high 90s or even low 100s, when it’s protected with Permagard.

Key Benefits To Our Yacht Paint Protection

Permagard has been protecting yachts all around the world for more than 25 years. Our exceptional line of high-quality, aviation-grade products are meticulously handmade and manufactured to provide the best experience for our customers and applicators across the globe. Protecting your yacht or boat is just as important to us as it is to you.

Here’s a few key benefits of protecting your boat or yacht with Permagard:

Only One Application – The Permagard coating is only applied once. With a process that can be learned in as little as two hours, the initial application process was designed to provide the most streamlined experience for protecting your vessel with Permagard. Once the vessel has been fully treated, it can be used immediately. There is no downtime required for Permagard’s curing process. The Permagard coating will cure on its own for the next 24 hours after the initial application has been completed.
Proprietary Formulas – With over $35 billion worth of Permagard-treated assets to date and over 25 years of real-world testing on yachts, aircraft, and cars worldwide, Permagard’s proprietary formula is the original aviation-grade paint protection coating on the market and has been the #1 choice for aircraft customers since 1998.
Eco-Friendly Solutions – Permagard is committed to environmental responsibility. All Permagard products were designed to be environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and non-dangerous, ensuring complete safety for the environment and applicators worldwide.
Reduced Maintenance Costs – Permagard prides itself on having a simple, easy, and effective maintenance routine. Almost all dirtied Permagard-treated surfaces can be washed with simply water. For dirtier treated surfaces, The Permagard Shampoo for Painted Surfaces is an excellent PH-neutral shampoo that cleans up Permagard-treated surfaces quickly without affecting the Permagard coating in any way.
Ease of Application – Anyone with basic boat polishing experience can learn how to apply Permagard. Almost all Permagard products were designed to be applied exactly the same way. This is to streamline the process for our applicators and make the Permagard application process simple and efficient every single time. When you have a simple application process with no complicated steps or strict requirements, you ensure much better results for the applicator and the asset that’s being treated.
Approved by Viking Yachts – Permagard is the preferred paint protection choice of professional yacht detailers and yacht owners worldwide. With a full OEM approval from Viking Yachts, we maintain consistent quality and performance for every single customer.

Simple Maintenance

Here at Permagard, we understand how laborious and time-consuming vessel maintenance can be. Hours and hours can be spent washing, waxing, and caring for your vessel. This is why we wanted to create a simple and easy maintenance process for caring for your yacht’s structure and appearance.

Permagard’s high-quality maintenance products were designed to streamline the wash process for your yacht, so that you can spend less time and money on tedious, drawn-out maintenance processes.

Easy Washing: The Permagard coating does not contain any wax or silica. Simply follow your regular wash routine and use Permagard Shampoo for Painted Surfaces for excess dirt and grime buildup. The Permagard coating also creates a smooth slickness on the treated surfaces, which negates aggressive scrubbing practices and abrasive techniques that would degrade your paint and gelcoat over time.
One-Stop Shop: When it comes to maintaining your Permagard coating, say goodbye to countless maintenance products and tedious processes to keep your vessel looking and performing at its best. Permagard recommends only 3 products to help maintain your vessel’s interior and exterior Permagard-treated surfaces: Permagard Shampoo for Painted Surfaces for deep cleaning of the hull to remove dirt and grime, Permagard Cleaner for Treated Surfaces for stain removal and spot cleaning, and Permagard Multipurpose Cleaner for vessel wipe-downs.

We’re here to ensure that your maintenance routine is a simple and sensible process, so that you can spend less time maintaining your Permagard coating, and more time on the open seas enjoying the stunning appearance of your yacht.

Service Treatment

When it comes time to deep clean the Permagard coating, the Permagard Service Treatment is applied every 11-13 months to deep clean the Permagard coating and fill in any micro-scratches that may have appeared in the coating over time from usage. The Permagard Service Treatment keeps your Permagard-treated asset in the 5-year warranty window of the Permagard coating, provided proper Service Treatment intervals are carried out through the Permagard Maintenance Program.

Why We Stand Out From The Competition

Permagard prides itself on the ease of application for applying all of our products as well as our sensible maintenance processes. Permagard does not require paint correction (compounding) or paint decontamination (clay barring), in order for our products to be applied. However, our competitors do require these processes. The problem is paint correction and paint decontamination processes thin down your vessel’s paint and gelcoat over time. So, in order to apply our competitors’ products, you essentially have to damage your paint, in order to protect it. Permagard also does not require numerous topcoats, countless maintenance products, or long cure times with IR curing lamps. These are some of the main aspects that separate Permagard from our competitors. It’s important for us to make applying our products as simple as possible for our certified applicators around the world to give the best experience possible for our customers and yacht owners. And with Permagard, we’ve provided that experience for over 25 years worldwide.

All Permagard products are non-toxic and non-dangerous goods that are regularly drop-shipped worldwide, using all available ground and air freight options.

All Permagard products have a shelf life of 18 months from the date that they are proudly manufactured at our Permagard Headquarters location in Miami, Florida, USA.
