I have no experience with the "varnish" finish Specialty uses on their wood, an do not know what it is specifically.
But I can say that the Z-Spar Flagship marine grade varnish that i use, anywhere from 10 to 12 coats, does not exhibit what you describe at all. Even after years of water exposure, no spotting at all.
Finnegan good points for fixing the problem but all varnishes can exhibit that problem and mostly due to temperature and dew point at time of application. The moisture soaked up in the coating will make it look cloudy after completely drying and the only way to get rid of it is to re-prep and coat as you mentioned.
