Various types of composite materials were being used in boat manufacturing especially for hull production as a main part. Natural composite materials such as teak sawdust, wood ash and silica particles have been utilized in boat hull making from previous researchers. This paper revised mechanical properties impact on several composite materials mixed with epoxy resin matrix by using hand lay-up method. Other than that, the main focused in this study is on the application of ceramic particles waste as a composite material. In-stead of being used as land-filling, ceramic particles waste can be reused in becoming value-added composite materials in specific area which brings benefits to environment and enhance the properties for other materials in terms of physical and mechanical. This study also presents an assembled and up-to-date review of physical, mechanical, durability and other durable potential abilities of ceramic fine aggregate which have huge ability usage in concrete production, soil stabilization, bricks block and road pavement structure. The percentage of particles usage from previous studies were from 2% up to 20% and the findings indicate that usage of ceramic waste particles improves flexural, durability, compressive, geotechnical and mechanical strength properties compare to standard materials usage. Thus, a new application area will be explored from this study on the usage of ceramic particles waste to the resin on the interface between the composite materials and core materials used in production of boat hull. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023.
