UV protection
Helps reduce the visual ageing caused by constant sun exposure, especially on exposed hull and deck details.
Introducing Iris Marine PPF protection for yachts and luxury vessels
Welcome aboard
A yacht is not just a luxury asset.
It is a multi-million investment exposed to one of the harshest environments in the world.
Iris Marine applies premium marine PPF designed to preserve original finishes, protect long-term asset value, and reduce the cosmetic ageing that impacts resale, charter appeal, and ownership perception.
Every installation is focused on precision, clean lines, and protection that looks intentional from every angle.
The film adds a durable protective layer over vulnerable exterior areas while keeping the vessel elegant, easy to maintain, and ready for the season.
Marine PPF
Marine paint protection film is a high-performance polyurethane layer applied to selected exterior surfaces of the yacht to preserve the original finish and protect long-term asset value.
It helps reduce the visible effects of:
Over time, these factors accelerate cosmetic ageing and can significantly affect resale presentation, charter appeal, and repaint cycles.
Unlike repainting, PPF is removable and replaceable when needed. It allows owners to protect vulnerable areas, maintain a cleaner and newer appearance for longer, and reduce the long-term cost of exterior correction and refinishing — without permanently altering the yacht's original paintwork.
Built for the sea
Helps reduce the visual ageing caused by constant sun exposure, especially on exposed hull and deck details.
Adds a protective barrier against light scratches, abrasion, and contact from normal use around the marina.
Creates a cleaner surface that is easier to wash and maintain after saltwater exposure.
It also helps protect high-contact areas from docking impacts, fender friction, and repeated marina wear that gradually damages the yacht's exterior finish over time.
Performance
A yacht finish needs more than a visual update. Iris Marine PPF helps defend against UV exposure, saltwater spray, light abrasion, minor impact marks, and the wear that comes from regular cleaning and marina use.
Marine-grade PPF is built around protection first. It adds a stronger surface barrier for areas exposed to sun, salt, contact, and movement.
Designed to keep a cleaner, glossier, better-maintained appearance for longer than standard visual wraps.
Helps repel water, reduce salt build-up, and make washing easier after time at sea.
Clear, gloss, satin, metallic, and coloured finishes can protect the yacht while respecting its design language.
For yachts, tenders and marine details
Full hull coverage, selected panels, accent zones, high-contact areas, and detail protection can all be planned around the way the yacht is actually used.
PPF vs PVC
Vinyl wrapping can change the look of a vessel, but marine PPF is designed first as protection. For yacht owners, that difference matters.
Usually chosen primarily for colour change and short-term visual customisation. Most standard PVC vinyl products are not originally engineered for long-term marine exposure, and after prolonged contact with UV, salt, heat, and moisture, they can lose gloss faster and may create adhesive or gelcoat-related issues over time — especially after 1–2 seasons in harsh marine conditions.
Chosen for long-term protection, finish preservation, and refined appearance. Marine-grade PPF is specifically engineered for harsh marine environments and provides a durable polyurethane barrier designed to maintain gloss, protect the original surface, and withstand UV, salt, and marina exposure for approximately 5–7 years.
Finishes
Iris Marine can work with clear protection or coloured marine PPF depending on the goal. Some owners want the yacht to look untouched. Others want a stronger visual identity with a gloss, satin, or metallic finish.
The best result is not the loudest one. It is the one that fits the yacht's shape, proportions, and character.
Some yachts need invisible protection. Others benefit from a controlled design update. Clear, gloss, satin, metallic, and coloured PPF can be combined across different areas of the vessel to create contrast, protect high-contact zones, or refresh the look of a pre-owned yacht.
For owners who want the yacht to look unchanged while protecting vulnerable exterior areas.
For owners who want a polished, high-gloss visual update with added surface protection.
For accent lines, selected panels, or a more distinctive marine identity.
For a specific look, colour direction, or finish combination planned around the vessel.

Installation
A clean result starts before the film touches the yacht. The surface, edges, curves, and high-contact areas must be understood first.
We define the areas to protect, the visual goal, and whether the project needs clear film, coloured film, or accent work.
The surface is cleaned and prepared carefully so the film can bond properly and finish cleanly.
The film is applied with attention to alignment, edges, curves, and the natural lines of the vessel.
The result is inspected for finish quality, consistency, and the small details that make the work look premium.
