Snap Jackets
Concrete piling sleeves poured in place around hollowed, warped or broken pilings, with no barge and no dock demolition.
Seawall Inspection & Repair
Inspections with a written condition report and photos ($250 residential, $350 commercial) and deep crack repair.
A clean hull pays for itself
The warm waters of South Florida cause the most extreme marine growth in the world. Growth on the hull creates drag, clogs thru-hull intakes and damages the hull itself. Monthly cleaning keeps it off.
- Fuel efficiency: algae, barnacles and other growth increase resistance in the water and fuel consumption with it.
- Speed and performance: less drag means higher speeds and easier maneuvering.
- Damage prevention: barnacles and burrowing organisms cause serious damage to hulls, bottom paint and gelcoat.
We clean with non-abrasive cavitation, safe on bottom paint and Propspeed, and we are your eyes and ears under the water, spotting problems before they cost you more.

Questions boat owners ask
Does the owner need to be present?
No. The diver works from your dock or slip without you, the photos and dive report arrive afterwards, and billing is monthly. In a gated community the divers call ahead, and a text is sent right before the visit so the gate is expecting them. If you are there, our divers are happy to walk you through what they found.
How long does a hull cleaning take?
Between 45 minutes and 4 hours, depending on the level of growth and the length of the boat. A hull on the 30-day schedule is at the short end; a hull that has sat for a season is at the long end.
Are you licensed and Insured?
Yes. We carry $2,000,000 liability insurance through Fisk Marine Insurance.
How often should I have the barnacles removed?
At least once a month if the boat sits in the water. Nutrient-rich areas need cleaning every two weeks, and so does any hull without bottom paint: barnacles adhere to gelcoat much faster and thicker than to paint, and left too long they blister the gelcoat and fiberglass.
