Anti-Slip Deck Coating

Our Anti-Slip Deck Coating Service is the ideal solution for every type of vessel, from sleek sailing yachts to powerful motorboats. We tailor each application to match the unique layout of your deck, ensuring full coverage, long-lasting grip, and superior protection. Designed to enhance both safety and aesthetics, our coatings provide confidence underfoot while preserving the elegance of your boat.

Why Choose Our Anti-Slip Coating?

Enhanced Safety: The primary function of a yacht deck is to ensure safe footing in all sea states. Our advanced anti-slip coating systems are engineered with specialized resin matrices and embedded micro-aggregates, delivering consistent grip even on wet or saltwater-exposed surfaces. Tested in accordance with DIN 51130 and ASTM E303 slip resistance standards, our coatings significantly reduce the risk of accidents, ensuring that both crew and guests can move with confidence and security on deck.

Durability: Developed specifically for marine applications, our coatings combine polyurethane resins, epoxy primers, and UV-stabilized pigments to withstand high traffic loads, continuous UV exposure, salt crystallization, and thermal cycling. The result is a long-lasting protective surface that retains its slip-resistant properties and appearance across multiple seasons, minimizing the frequency and cost of reapplications.

Aesthetic Appeal: Unlike conventional anti-slip paints that compromise design, our coatings are available in a broad range of finishes, colors, and aggregate grades. From ultra-fine textures for barefoot comfort to coarse-grain aggregates for working deck areas, the system is adaptable to both modern and classic yacht aesthetics. The final result integrates safety without sacrificing elegance or style.

Eco-Friendly Options: For environmentally conscious owners, we provide coating systems formulated with low-VOC binders and solvent-free options. These solutions deliver the same outstanding performance while minimizing ecological impact, ensuring that yacht safety and sustainability go hand in hand.

Our Service Process

Consultation: Every project begins with a detailed analysis of the vessel’s deck usage profile, including traffic zones, exposure levels, and design preferences. Based on this, we define the most suitable coating system and application strategy, ensuring both performance and visual harmony.

Surface Preparation: Longevity starts with preparation. Our technicians carry out deep cleaning, degreasing, sanding, and priming using epoxy-based adhesion promoters to create the correct surface profile. This step guarantees maximum bonding strength between substrate and coating system.

Application: Using controlled spray, roller, or trowel application techniques, the coating is applied to the specified wet film thickness. Aggregates are distributed with precision, particularly in high-traffic and working areas, to ensure uniform grip and resistance to localized wear.

Drying and Curing: The coated surfaces are cured under controlled humidity and temperature conditions, following the manufacturer’s specified curing profile. Depending on the system, this may include accelerated curing with infrared heaters or vacuum-assisted sealing to achieve a durable, chemical- and abrasion-resistant finish.

Final Inspection: Once cured, our team performs a comprehensive inspection, verifying slip resistance values, uniform aggregate distribution, adhesion strength, and visual integration with the yacht’s design. Only after meeting our stringent standards is the deck released for operational use.

High-Traffic & Specialized Areas

Not all deck areas are subject to the same demands. Certain locations require specialized anti-slip systems due to higher safety and operational requirements:

  • Helidecks: Coatings formulated to meet IMO and CAP 437 standards, providing the required friction coefficient for safe helicopter operations, including color-coded safety zones and abrasion-resistant topcoats.
  • Boarding & Tender Areas: High-grip surfaces designed to withstand constant wear from boarding ladders, passerelles, and tender handling. Reinforced with impact- and abrasion-resistant resins for long-lasting durability.
  • Engine Room Access & Technical Spaces: Anti-slip systems resistant to oil, grease, and thermal shock, ensuring crew safety in maintenance areas with demanding operational conditions.
  • Working Decks: Coarse-grain aggregates integrated into heavy-duty coatings for fishing decks, crane platforms, and cargo handling areas, delivering maximum traction in the harshest environments.

By tailoring our anti-slip coating systems to the operational demands of each area, we provide safety and functionality without compromise. From luxury finishes for guest decks to industrial-strength coatings for working zones, our solutions cover every aspect of modern yacht operations.
