Bottom Painting

What is Bottom Painting?
Bottom painting refers to the process of applying a special type of paint, called antifouling paint, to the underwater part (hull) of a boat or ship. This paint is designed to prevent marine organisms—like barnacles, algae, and mussels—from attaching to the hull.

Why is Bottom Painting Important?
Prevents Marine Growth: Over time, marine organisms can build up on the hull, creating drag and reducing the vessel's speed and fuel efficiency.

Improves Performance: A clean hull moves through the water more smoothly, which helps with speed, handling, and fuel economy.

Reduces Maintenance Costs: Preventing heavy growth reduces the need for frequent underwater cleaning or costly repairs.
Protects the Hull: Some antifouling paints also offer protection against corrosion, especially for metal hulls.
 
How is Bottom Painting Done?
Haul-Out: The boat is taken out of the water.
Cleaning: The hull is pressure washed to remove dirt, slime, and old paint(if needed).

Sanding or Stripping (if needed):            To smooth the surface or remove old paint layers.
Priming: A primer may be applied, especially if the paint is being changed or applied for the first time.
Painting: Antifouling paint is applied, usually with a roller or spray, in one or more coats.
Drying/Curing: The paint needs to dry properly before the boat is put back in the water.
  
How Often Should It Be Done?
Typically, bottom painting is done once a year, but this can vary depending on: How often the boat is used
The type of water (saltwater vs. freshwater)
The type of paint used

We service all types of vessels, from personal boats to luxury yachts, with mobile and in-dock options available.

Premium Yacht Hull Polishing

We specialize in professional yacht hull polishing designed to restore your vessel’s shine and maintain its long-term value. Whether your yacht is dulled by oxidation, water stains, or general wear and tear, we use advanced techniques and high-quality products to deliver a mirror-like finish every time.

Why Hull Polishing Matters
The hull is not only the most visible part of your yacht—it’s also the first line of defense against the elements. Regular polishing:

Restores Gloss and Color: Removes oxidation and surface damage to revive your boat’s original finish.

Prevents Long-Term Damage: Helps protect against UV rays, saltwater, and environmental wear.

Improves Performance: A smoother hull reduces drag and enhances fuel efficiency.

Enhances Resale Value: A well-maintained yacht stands out on the market.

Zinc & Anode Replacement

Essential Protection for Your Yacht’s Underwater Gear

We provide expert zinc and sacrificial anode replacement services to safeguard your yacht against electrolytic corrosion. Whether you're in saltwater or brackish environments, keeping your anodes in good condition is critical to protecting vital metal components like propellers, shafts, rudders, and thru-hulls.

Why Anode Replacement is Vital
Zinc and other sacrificial anodes are your boat’s first defense against galvanic corrosion. Over time, these anodes wear away—and if not replaced, your expensive underwater hardware becomes vulnerable.

Routine replacement ensures:

Corrosion Protection: Prevents damage to critical metal parts below the waterline.

Lower Repair Costs: Avoid costly replacements of shafts, props, and other vital systems.

Longer Equipment Lifespan: Helps maintain optimal performance and preserve your investment.

Peace of Mind: Know your boat is fully protected, even in harsh marine environments.

We offer expert propeller polishing and coating services to keep your boat running smoothly and efficiently. Over time, your propeller can accumulate corrosion, barnacles, and oxidation, which can decrease performance and fuel efficiency. Our specialized services are designed to restore your propeller’s surface and protect it from further wear.

 
Why Propeller Polishing & Coating Matters


Restore Efficiency: A smooth, polished propeller reduces drag, which helps with speed and fuel economy.
Prevent Corrosion & Fouling: Polishing removes oxidation and barnacle growth, while coatings provide an additional layer of protection.


Extend Propeller Lifespan: Regular maintenance keeps your propeller in optimal condition and delays costly replacements.


Improve Resale Value: A well-maintained propeller contributes to the overall value of your boat.
