With every great asset comes great decisions to make and to choose between Teak decking and Non skid is one of them.
Some Captains and Owners questions them self when they are to make this important decision, So in this article you can find different opinions regarding several categories;

1- COST: Non-skid on a yacht is less expensive than installing New Teak decking so if you are looking to save money Non-Skid is the way to go.

2-DURABILITY: A professional installation of Teak decking can last you 20 years or more with proper maintenance vs Non-Skid you might have to retouch it within 10 years. So you get what you pay.

3- MAINTENANCE: a Non-Skid surface just needs lots of wash With soap and water and probably a Marine grade degreaser to keep the Vessel looking In neat conditions after a survey made to all the captains we found that Non-skid although it seem to require less maintenance it actually needed more cleaning than Teak decking to look clean after a use. For teak decking the maintenance is pretty simple just wash with boat soap and scrub after use and every year it can be sanded with the grain to get a newer look.

4- LOOKS: And our last category the looks it’s a winning for Teak decking it gives the Vessel a more nautical and luxurious look than the Non-skid.
