Length and boat type
The base of the price is your boat’s length times a per-foot rate. The rate grows with size: $6.00 per foot for monohulls up to 39 ft, $6.75 per foot for 40–59 ft, up to $9.50 per foot for yachts of 100–170 ft. Bigger boats have more hull per foot — deeper, wider, with more running gear.
Catamarans are $7.50 per foot: two hulls and running gear on each. Pontoons are $7.50 per foot and tritoons $8.25 per foot. Sailboats are priced like monohulls, keel and rudder included.
Examples: a 34 ft center console is 34 ft × $6.00 = $204. A 45 ft sportfish is 45 ft × $6.75 = $303.75. A 40 ft catamaran is 40 ft × $7.50 = $300.
Drives, pods and a boat lift
Propellers, shafts, struts and rudders are included. Sterndrives and IPS or Zeus pods are $40 each — a 30 ft boat with twin sterndrives is 30 ft × $6.00 + 2 × $40 = $260. A boat lift or hydraulic platform is $1.00 per foot of the boat’s length.
Time since the last cleaning
This changes the price the most. About a month since the last cleaning — the standard price. About two months — × 1.5: for a 45 ft boat, 45 ft × $6.75 × 1.5 = $455.63. Three months or more, with barnacles and oysters on the hull, the job is charged by the hour — $150 per hour — and we give you an estimate before we start.
The minimum per visit
Every visit has a $200 minimum: the diver’s time, gear and the drive to your dock are the same for a small boat. A 24 ft center console comes to 24 ft × $6.00 = $144 → $200 minimum.
What doesn’t change it
The price you agree on is the price you pay. If the job turns out bigger than expected — worn bottom paint, a line around the propeller — we send you video first, and the price changes only with your approval. You pay after the job.
