COPPERCOAT APPLICATION

Coppercoat is the most durable and long lasting anti-foul coating available. A single treatment of this water-based and VOC-free resin commonly provides a high level of fouling protection for a decade or more.  By using Coppercoat , owners save the time and expense of the repainting associated with traditional anti-fouls.

"JDK Marine offer a great range of services from a monthly wash down to a full topsides polish, they help us keep our Sealine S34 looking great. They recently cleaned back the teak in our cockpit and it’s never looked so good.

Great workmanship and fastidious attention to detail. I can’t recommend them highly enough.”

​

"JDK Marine provides an excellent boat cleaning service. They are totally flexible, diligent, hardworking and trustworthy. I would totally recommend them to anyone. Even if you maintain your boat yourself, an additional one off or regular clean from James is money well spent to keep you boat in tip top condition."

"We live a distance away from our boat and unfortunately don’t always have the time to keep her looking as pristine as we would like, as a result (on recommendation) we found and have used James to look after our own boat for several years. 

James is extremely thorough and very precise in the work he carries out, so much so that fellow berth holders on our pontoon have specifically commented on his work and diligence in his efforts as well as requesting quotes for themselves.

Whether you just need a tidy up or full scrub and polish back to ‘new’ we cannot recommend James highly enough."

“We berth our motor yacht in Southampton for holidays away from our Thames Valley home. It is very pleasing that James is regularly valeting this boat. The boat and even the fenders are always wonderfully clean. This is highly valued as we are then ready to go as soon as we arrive for our next cruise. We also like the way JDK Marine communicates well, particularly in offering solutions in regards to any problems that are identified. We recommend this company.”

"James has amazing attention to detail and a fantastic ‘customer first’ attitude.
Nothing is too much trouble and I love the pictures that get sent after every wash. We have a regular monthly wash and have used JDK for a machine polish on the hull, you could see your face in the sides by the time they’d finished.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend JDK to anyone."
