Simple Sailor Marine is built by yacht professionals for yacht professionals. We create powerful, ocean-degradable cleaning concentrates that reduce environmental harm while cutting waste, storage, and costs. Unlike traditional cleaners full of unnecessary fillers and harsh chemicals, our formulas are scientifically tested on real superyachts, ensuring maximum cleaning power with minimal environmental impact.

Most yacht crews struggle with teak maintenance due to ineffective cleaners, improper pH balance, and inconsistent results. Simple Teak™ Cleaner is uniquely developed from 12 months of testing on a real superyacht, with a formula that: Removes grime without excessive pulp or darkening Prevents mold, mildew, and premature greying Contains pH buffers that maintain teak’s natural golden hue Works as a complete system with our Step 2 Brightener for unmatched results

Yes! Every Simple Sailor Marine product undergoes rigorous testing on real superyachts to ensure optimal performance, longevity, and ease of use for yacht crews. We don’t believe in shortcuts—just cleaning solutions that work.

Absolutely! Our teak cleaner restores the wood’s natural pH without burning stainless steel or damaging delicate surfaces. Plus, our other cleaners are formulated specifically for marine paints, fiberglass, and more.

No. Our streak-free formulas provide a high-shine, residue-free finish, leaving surfaces looking pristine without any buildup.

Yes! Our pH-balanced surfactants work exceptionally well in both hard and demineralized water, ensuring powerful cleaning action no matter where you are.

No, because most enzyme-based cleaners degrade quickly and require toxic preservatives. Instead, we've developed a completely non-toxic foaming, thickening, and stabilizing system that outperforms enzyme-based alternatives.

Unlike other brands that rely only on lab tests, we test directly on real yachts, from 30ft boats to 300ft superyachts, ensuring performance in real-world marine conditions.

No! Unlike harsh acid-based cleaners, Simple Teak™ is pH-balanced to match the natural color of teak while effectively removing dirt, stains, and mildew without stripping essential oils.

No. Simple Sailor Marine has formulated Step 1 Cleaner & Step 2 Brightener to work together perfectly—no more mixing incompatible products that cause mold or greying over time.

Yes, our teak cleaner is safe for caulking and Awlgrip paint when used as directed. Our formula is pH-balanced and free from harsh acids or alkalines that could degrade caulking or damage Awlgrip finishes. Unlike many conventional cleaners, it won’t cause premature breakdown, cracking, or discoloration.

Yes! Our cleaners and brighteners are safe for all natural teak surfaces, whether newly installed, weathered, or previously sealed. They lift dirt, oil, and stains without damaging the wood’s natural oils.

Yes, but let the cleaner do the hard work first! Apply the solution, let it sit for 5-10 minutes, then scrub across the grain using a soft or medium-bristle brush to lift dirt and grime.

For best results, allow the brightener to sit for 5-10 minutes before rinsing thoroughly. You’ll see the teak lighten as the product neutralizes and restores its natural tone.

No product can stop teak from naturally greying over time. However, regular use of our cleaner and brightener slows the process and helps maintain a golden, sun-kissed look.

This spray is specifically formulated for teak but can also be used on other porous marine wood surfaces where mildew stains appear. Always spot-test first.

Our Teak Oil Stain Extractor Spray is designed to lift oil, sunscreen, and food stains. Simply spray, let it dry to a white powder (1-15 minutes), then wipe away with a damp microfiber cloth.

No. Unlike traditional oil removers, this formula dries to a powder that wipes away easily, meaning no excess water is needed.

After cleaning and brightening, allow the teak to dry completely for 48 hours before applying any sealer.

Yes! Our formulas are designed to safely remove stains and water spots from glass, fiberglass, and sails without leaving behind streaks or damage.

By switching to Simple Sailor Marine, superyachts can: 🌍 Reduce waste container materials by up to 90% 💰 Lower cleaning costs by up to 30% 🌊 Help sequester tons of CO₂ per year through ocean restoration We proudly partner with SeaTrees, supporting the restoration of blue carbon ecosystems like mangroves, kelp forests, and coral reefs—some of the most effective natural carbon sinks on Earth.

Yes. Our products are formulated with truly biodegradable and marine-safe ingredients, unlike many cleaners mislabeled as "biodegradable" that degrade only in land-based environments. Our Sea Foam Boat Soap™ and Simple Teak™ Cleaners contain no toxic surfactants, sulfates, phosphates, or fillers, making them safe for marine life and ecosystems.

We use pre-measured, recyclable or biodegradable pouches & bottles that eliminate the need for bulky plastic containers carrying 90% water weight. This dramatically reduces single-use waste while optimizing storage space onboard.

Many so-called "eco-friendly" products still contain toxic preservatives, misleading labels, or repurposed car soaps. We created true ocean-safe cleaners by using marine-tested organic and industrial compounds that perform without harming ecosystems.

We don’t just sell marine-safe cleaners—we actively support ocean health. A portion of each purchase helps fund SEATREES' Ocean Positive program, reinvigorating marine ecosystems and offsetting yacht emissions.

We do not currently offer carbon offset credits as we believe this is a self grartification 'pay to play' pat on the back. We have something better. We considered the two options we had: A: Sell a product (cleaner) with a 828g - 1.5kg carbon impact and keep all the profit. B: Sell a product (cleaner with 828g -1.5kg carbon impact, but then donate a dollar that would grow towards 100:1 lifetime return on ocean carbon offset at the same time as providing jobs. We picked option B then stumbled upon 'Seatrees', our proud partners that gave us a solid metric as well as avenue to fulfill this promise. What we offer instead is a metric that for each product sold our customers will directly contribute towards 1 Square foot or 1 Seatree of ocean restoration. This equates to 12.3 kg of CO2 absorption per year for a mangrove tree or 826 Kg of CO2 over its lifetime. Alternatively it contributes to 82g per year for seagrasses with a substantial uptick of chemical absorption in coastal regions where boat/ marine cleaner We estimate that our packaging and production cost is around 826g to 2kg of CO2 per unit dependant on size. So by this the products and customers are directly contributing to being net negative in our CO2 and ocean carbon sequester footprint by a factor of 10:1. Small things grow into little things and this is where we feel we can make a marked difference simply by selling more intelligent packaging but collecting a donation each time we sell a product so we are cooperatively helping regenerate coastal seagrasses, coral reefs and mangroves. Win, win win.

No. We avoid acids, phthalates, PEGs, QUATs, chlorine, and other harsh chemicals commonly found in marine cleaning products. Our formulas are eco-friendly and non-toxic, yet powerful enough to get the job done.

Yes! All our formulas are phosphate- and sulfate-free, biodegradable, and designed to break down safely in seawater. Our DEK2SEA™ and OCEAN-DEGRADABLE™ technologies ensure minimal environmental impact.

While our products are gentle and non-toxic, we always recommend wearing gloves when handling concentrated solutions, as they are designed to break down oils and organic matter effectively.

No! Our formulas are non-corrosive and safe for use on all yacht surfaces, including stainless steel, caulking, and painted areas. In fact, some products even help brighten stainless steel rather than damage it.

Yes! Our products are designed to meet or exceed international marine environmental safety standards and are compliant with regulations such as MARPOL and the Clean Water Act.

Yes! Our products contain zero volatile organic compounds (VOCs), ensuring they are safe to use in enclosed spaces and won’t release harmful fumes.

Our products have a long shelf life when stored properly in a cool, dry place. We recommend using them within two years for maximum effectiveness.

Our products break down naturally, but for best practices, dilute any excess product with water before disposal. Empty packaging is fully recyclable.
