We clean boat bottoms in Boca Raton every 30 days, in the deep-water canals of Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club and Boca Harbour, at The Boca Raton's marina on Lake Boca Raton and at docks along the Intracoastal. The lake swaps water with the ocean through the inlet on every tide and sits in a year-round slow zone, which is a recipe for fast, undisturbed growth.
Hull cleaning on Lake Boca and in the canals
Lake Boca Raton boats sit in fully salt water that the Boca Raton Inlet refreshes twice a day, so the props, shafts and rudders grow hard barnacles quickly, because bottom paint can't stick to metal. Everything from the Palmetto Park Road bridge to the Camino Real bridge is slow speed, so nothing scrubs the hull.
Royal Palm's canals are deep and calm, and a boat behind a house there grows slime and a waterline band between trips out the inlet. Boca Harbour's Intracoastal docks sit in more current. At Royal Palm the divers call ahead and text you right before the visit, and every visit ends with a dive report showing zinc percentage and bottom paint condition, plus photos.
Silver Palm Park on West Palmetto Park Road has two ramps, one double and one single, with access to Lake Boca Raton, the inlet and the ocean; trailers need a permit and personal watercraft are not allowed. The city's dredge pumps the inlet's sand onto the beach 500 feet south of the south jetty under a state inlet management plan approved in 1997, and NOAA keeps a tide station on the lake. Boats that launch at Silver Palm go home dry; the ones in Royal Palm's canals, Boca Harbour and the resort marina's 30 slips stay in the water and grow.
Lake Boca Raton boats sit in the saltiest water in the city, refreshed through the inlet on every tide, and the resort marina's slip holders see the fastest running-gear growth in the photos; Royal Palm canal boats see more slime and waterline band. Both get the 30-day visit, and Royal Palm owners get a call ahead and a text right before the diver arrives.
Boca Raton boats we clean sit on the Intracoastal Waterway and Lake Boca Raton, in the Hillsboro Canal, and on Lake Wyman. The Boca Raton marina and the Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club marina: regular stops. Private docks in Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club and Boca Harbour (ZIP codes 33431, 33432 and 33487) get the same 30-day visit.
What's included
Hull
The whole hull surface, thru-hull fittings, underwater lights and every chine.
Running gear
Props, thrusters, rudders, shafts, transducers and trim tabs, cleaned every visit. Tell us if Propspeed is applied: coated gear is handled by the coating maker's guidance.
Waterline
The algae band at the waterline, removed with soft brushes.
Zincs
Anode percentage checked every dive and replaced once it reaches 50%.
What the dive report shows
A written dive report and photos come with every cleaning.
- Zinc percentage per anode; replacement at 50%.
- Bottom paint condition, so the next haul-out is planned, not guessed.
- Photos of the hull and running gear.
- Anything the diver spotted: clogged thru-hulls, damage, loose gear.
How long it takes and how often. 45 minutes to 4 hours per cleaning, depending on growth and boat length. Every 30 days for a boat that stays in the water; every two weeks in nutrient-rich spots or for a hull without bottom paint.
Boat Bottom Cleaning in Boca Raton: your questions
Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club is gated. How does the diver reach my dock?
The divers call ahead and send you a text right before the visit so the gate is expecting them. The diver works from your dock and you don't need to be home.
How often should a boat bottom be cleaned in South Florida?
Every 30 days if it sits in the water, every two weeks in nutrient-rich areas or without bottom paint: barnacles adhere to gelcoat faster and thicker than to paint and can blister it if left too long.
Does the owner need to be there for the cleaning?
No. The diver works from your dock or slip without you; the report and photos arrive afterwards and billing is monthly. Behind a gate, the divers call ahead and send a text right before the visit. If you are around, they will walk you through what they found.
Will cavitation cleaning damage my bottom paint or Propspeed?
No. Ultra-Cavitation lifts growth with collapsing bubbles at far lower pressure than a pressure washer, with no scraper touching the surface: 100% non-abrasive on sound paint and gelcoat at the right standoff. Propspeed-coated gear is handled by the coating maker's guidance (soft cloth, no abrasives, no direct high-pressure water); tell us it is applied.
