What 3M Marine Protection Film Does

MPF is a clear, self-healing film applied to hull topsides, transom corners, cowlings, and gunwales. It absorbs dock contact, fender rash, and tidal abrasion — the specific wear patterns that accumulate on boats kept in Charleston’s tidal anchorages. Virtually invisible, warranted for 3 years by 3M.

Why Charleston Boats Need It

Charleston Harbor has some of the most significant tidal range on the East Coast — six to eight feet of swing means boats work against their lines and dock pilings constantly. Shem Creek’s tight marina environment, the ICW from Beaufort through Hilton Head, and the offshore exposure of boats running to the Gulf Stream all put real wear on hull topsides and transoms. MPF is built for this pattern.

The 3M Warranty

Every YachtWraps installation in Charleston comes with 3M’s 3-year manufacturer warranty — covering no yellowing, no bubbling, and no delamination.

What It Costs in Charleston

A Dock Armor package on a 30–40 ft vessel typically runs $1,500–$2,500. Full hull coverage ranges $3,500–6,000+ depending on vessel size. Free on-site quote at your slip — call (941) 294-3368.

Common Questions

Do you install MPF on boats in Shem Creek and Charleston harbor?
Yes. We work at your slip at Shem Creek, City Marina, or any Charleston area marina. No haul-out needed.

How does Charleston’s tidal range affect MPF?
Charleston’s 6–8 ft tidal swing means boats are constantly moving against their dock lines and pilings. This is exactly the wear pattern MPF is designed to absorb — protecting the hull topsides and gunwales where tidal contact happens.

What’s the difference between MPF and ceramic coating for a Lowcountry boat?
MPF is a physical barrier against tidal abrasion, dock contact, and fender wear. Ceramic adds UV and water resistance. We often apply both — film on the topsides and transom corners, ceramic on decks and hull sides.

Do you service Hilton Head and Beaufort from Charleston?
Yes. We cover Hilton Head, Beaufort, and the full Lowcountry ICW corridor from our Charleston base.
