05 Questions
Questions about hull cleaning
How much does hull cleaning cost in Miami?
From $6.00 per foot for boats up to 39 ft to $9.50 per foot for yachts of 100–170 ft, with a $200 minimum per visit. A 45 ft boat on a monthly schedule is $303.75 per cleaning.
How often should I clean my boat bottom in Miami?
Once a month. Growth builds up fast in warm South Florida water, and a regular schedule keeps barnacles from taking hold and helps your bottom paint last longer. Well-kept yachts are often cleaned every 2 weeks. With fresh bottom paint, the first cleaning is about 3–4 weeks after launch.
Do I need to haul out my boat?
No. A diver cleans the hull in the water at your dock or slip.
My boat is at anchor offshore. Can you come?
Yes, we come to you by boat. Note in your request that the boat is at anchor and roughly where, and we get in touch to agree on the details.
Do you clean propellers underwater?
Yes, with every hull cleaning, at no extra cost: propellers, shafts, struts, rudders and thrusters are cleaned in the water together with the hull. Sterndrives are $40 per drive.
My boat hasn’t been cleaned in months. How much will it be?
About 2 months since the last cleaning — the standard price × 1.5. After 3 months or more, or with heavy barnacles and oysters, we charge $150 per hour, and our service manager gives you an estimate first.
Can the price change once the diver is in the water?
Only with your approval. If the job turns out bigger than expected — worn antifouling, a line around the prop — we send you video first and agree on the price before we go on.
Do you take a deposit?
Usually not: you pay after the job by a secure Stripe link. For some jobs or new customers we may ask for a deposit, and we tell you before the visit. The owner or the captain can pay.
How far ahead can I book?
Most owners book one or two weeks ahead, and you can book up to two months out. We send a reminder the day before.
Do you send a report after the cleaning?
Yes. After every cleaning you get photos, video and a short report on the hull and running gear.
