Boat Bottom Cleaning Services in Orlando, FL
Real, local services offered in the Orlando area.
Recurring Hull Cleaning
Recurring hull cleaning removes algae, barnacles, and other growth from a boat's hull on a monthly or seasonal schedule, which is especially relevant in Florida's warm-water lakes where fouling builds up quickly on a boat kept in the water.
- Monthly or seasonal cleaning schedules
- Addresses fast fouling buildup in warm-water lakes
- Keeps performance and fuel efficiency up
Keep in mind: Recurring cleaning is for boats kept in the water and needing ongoing upkeep -- if you're getting a boat ready for a one-time sale, survey, or haul-out, a single cleaning or underwater inspection may be a better fit than committing to a recurring schedule.
How do I know if my hull needs cleaning?
Common signs include reduced top speed, lower fuel efficiency, visible slime or growth along the waterline, and a rougher feel to the hull when checked by hand or by a diver.
How often should hull cleaning be scheduled in Florida's warm-water lakes?
Fouling builds up faster in warm water than in cooler climates, which is why many boats kept in Florida lakes are cleaned on a monthly or seasonal schedule rather than just once or twice a year. Your provider can recommend a cadence based on how the boat is used and stored.
Zinc Anode Replacement
Zinc (or sacrificial) anodes corrode in place of a boat's more expensive underwater metal components, and need periodic inspection and replacement once they've worn down. This is commonly bundled with a hull cleaning visit.
- Protects underwater metal from corrosion
- Checked and replaced during routine cleaning visits
- Prevents more costly corrosion damage
Keep in mind: Anode replacement addresses corrosion protection going forward -- it won't fix existing corrosion damage that's already occurred to underwater metal, which may need separate repair.
How do I know if my zinc anodes need replacing?
Anodes are typically checked during a routine hull cleaning visit and replaced once they've worn down significantly, since a mostly-corroded anode is no longer protecting the metal it's meant to sacrifice itself for.
Propeller & Running Gear Cleaning
Growth on a propeller and running gear can reduce performance and cause vibration, so cleaning this area is typically included alongside a hull cleaning visit to keep the whole underwater system performing as expected.
- Propeller and shaft cleaning
- Reduces vibration and performance loss
- Usually bundled with hull cleaning
Underwater Inspection
Underwater inspection sends a diver to check the hull, running gear, and thru-hull fittings for damage or issues, often with photo or video documentation provided -- useful ahead of a sale, survey, or simply as a periodic check.
- Diver-based visual inspection
- Photo/video documentation available
- Useful before a sale or insurance survey
