Hull Cleaning Scheduling

Keeping your boat clean is essential for optimum performance. Depending on the season and area, we suggest a 2 or 4 week cleaning cycle. For on-scheduled boat bottom cleanings, we charge a rate per foot.

Per Hour Hull Cleaning

Sometimes time flies faster than anticipated. When your boat has not been cleaned in a while, and excessive growth has set in, opting for an hourly rate for cleaning is a smart choice. It ensures that every nook and cranny of your hull is thoroughly cleaned, allowing you to regain the exhilarating boating experience you’ve been missing.

Prop Removal and Installation

A dinged and bent prop can rob you of 10 percent of your fuel costs, result in a lack of performance, bad cornering, and lower engine unit damage. A bent blade will severely affect performance and could even damage the engine and transmission. A damaged prop is often out of balance, resulting in vibrations or cavitation.

Zinc Inspection & Replacement

We will inspect your anodes and replace where necessary. It’s important to replace your zinc anodes on a regular basis to ensure your boat is protected from electrolysis and corrosion. A small investment in new zincs, can help save your boat from major damages. Prices are charged per zinc installation.

Special Requests

Owning a boat gives you many privileges, but every now and again there are those additional unplanned maintenance issues that pops up. Give us a call and let's see how we can assist you.

Search and Recovery

Dropped something valuable? No need to worry we got you covered. Whether it’s a wedding ring, a piece of equipment essential for your journey, or any other valuable possession, we’re committed to helping you recover it.

Floating Dock Cleaning

Floating docks are subjected to constant exposure to water and over time, barnacles, mussels, algae, and other hard growth can accumulate on the dock’s surface. Build-up can also affects its functionality when left unattended.

Pile Wrapping & Cleaning

We remove all the barnacles and any hard growth by scraping pilings down to bare wood or wrapping. If you have not wrapped your dock piles we highly recommend it to give the piles additional protection.
