How We Work
Our Approach to surface care is 100% customized
What sets PMA apart is our thoughtful prioritization process.
We begin by meticulously assessing the current condition of your yacht’s surface, identifying potential problems such as contamination from salts or other contaminants, weathering from UV light, or unsightly scratches and scuffs.
With a clear understanding of your yacht’s unique challenges, we then create a customized action plan designed to achieve exactly the results you desire. Each plan is tailored to your specific needs, ensuring that your yacht receives the care and attention it deserves.
