You notice: slower, burning more fuel
Hull cleaning
We scrub the bottom from the waterline down to the keel, using the right brush for your bottom paint so the growth comes off and the paint stays on.

Services
Start with what you're noticing on the boat. Here's what usually causes it, and what we do about it. Keep scrolling to watch each job get done.
We scrub the bottom from the waterline down to the keel, using the right brush for your bottom paint so the growth comes off and the paint stays on.
We scrape and polish props, shafts, struts, rudders, trim tabs and intakes. A clean prop bites the water the way it was built to.
We check your sacrificial anodes and swap them when they're worn, so they corrode instead of your prop and shaft.
We look over the hull and running gear and send you the video. Useful before a trip, after hitting something, or when you're buying a boat.
Growth guide
Warm water grows things fast. Scroll to run the clock on a hull nobody cleans.
What we leave behind: smooth antifouling, nothing slowing you down.
A thin brown-green film. It shows up within weeks and starts adding drag before you can see much.
A quick wipe-down handles it.
Soft green growth, thickest along the waterline where the light hits. This is when the boat starts feeling lazy.
A full scrub of the hull.
Hard shells that grip the hull and props. On a propeller they cost you speed and cause vibration.
Scraping by hand, then a polish.
