Services
Boat Bottom Cleaning
Our boat bottom cleaning service removes marine growth to maintain hull efficiency and prevent performance issues. Using tailored schedules based on seasonal conditions, we ensure optimal anti-fouling paint preservation. Regular maintenance improves fuel economy, reduces engine strain, and extends underwater equipment lifespan.
Zinc Installation
Zinc installation protects underwater metal components from galvanic corrosion. Our experts replace zincs on propellers, shafts, and hull fittings to safeguard against electrolysis damage. This service extends the life of critical boat systems while maintaining peak operational safety.
Propeller Maintenance
Propeller maintenance ensures maximum thrust efficiency and fuel savings. We clean, inspect, and repair propellers to eliminate drag caused by marine buildup. Regular servicing prevents vibration issues and maintains smooth engine operation for power and sailboats alike.
Underwater Inspections
Underwater inspections identify potential hull, rudder, and drive system issues before they escalate. Our divers visually assess submerged components for damage or wear. Early detection prevents costly repairs and ensures compliance with safety standards during routine maintenance visits.
Metal Surface Cleaning
Metal surface cleaning targets unpainted components like trim tabs, struts, and outdrives. We remove aggressive coral growth that accumulates faster on exposed metals. This specialized service maintains cooling system efficiency and prevents overheating in high-performance powerboats.

Questions
How often should I schedule boat bottom cleaning?
We recommend every 3 weeks in summer and 4 weeks in winter for painted hulls. Unpainted boats require 10-11 day intervals during warm months to prevent heavy coral buildup.
Why is seasonal cleaning frequency important?
Marine growth accumulates 2-3 times faster in summer due to warmer water and sunlight. Adjusting schedules prevents excessive fouling that reduces speed, increases fuel consumption, and risks engine overheating.
What areas do you service?
We serve Marina Del Rey, Channel Islands Harbor, and Ventura Harbor. Our maintenance programs adapt to local marine conditions in each location for optimal results.
How do your services improve boat performance?
Regular cleaning maintains hull efficiency, improves fuel economy by up to 20%, and prevents engine strain from excessive marine growth on propellers and intake systems.
