Professional Underwater
Hull Cleaning

Professional boat bottom cleaning and barnacle removal. Our commercial divers meticulously scrub your hull, intakes, and waterlines right in your slip.

Why Regular Hull Cleaning Matters

In South Florida's warm, nutrient-rich waters, bio-fouling can coat a clean hull in a matter of weeks. Barnacles, tube worms, and algae eagerly attach to your gelcoat and running gear. Left untreated, this growth creates immense hydrodynamic drag, robbing your vessel of top-end speed and dramatically increasing fuel consumption.

Worse, extended exposure allows hard growth to penetrate anti-fouling paint, permanently damaging the protective coatings and migrating into your engine's raw water intakes, leading to catastrophic overheating.

Our Detailed Cleaning Process

  • 1

    Waterline & Freeboard

    We start by aggressively scrubbing the waterline to remove unsightly algae rings and exhaust soot, instantly reviving curb appeal.

  • 2

    Hull Bottom Scraping

    Using the exact right abrasive pad for your specific bottom paint (to ensure we don't strip your ablative coating prematurely), we remove all slime and hard growth.

  • 3

    Intakes & Transducers

    Vital thru-hulls, AC intakes, and delicate electronics are carefully cleared using non-metallic tools to ensure zero damage and unrestricted water flow.

  • 4

    Video Proof

    We take high-definition before/after footage, providing you absolute assurance that the hull is totally pristine.

How Often Should It Be Done?

In Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties, vessels kept in saltwater should be thoroughly cleaned every 3 to 4 weeks. During peak summer heat, growth accelerates rapidly and vessels may demand a 2-week rotation.
