We clean boat bottoms in Boynton Beach every 30 days, at Boynton Harbor Marina half a mile from the inlet, in Harbor Estates on the Boynton Canal and at docks along the Intracoastal. The water here is ocean one tide and lagoon-and-canal the next, so the growth and the zinc wear differ dock to dock, and the diver records both every month.
Hull cleaning at the marina and on the C-16
Boats at Boynton Harbor Marina sit in the saltiest water in the city, refreshed by the inlet on every tide, and their props, shafts and rudders grow hard barnacles fast because bottom paint can't stick to metal. Boats that run the Gulf Stream every weekend come home clean on the paint and fouled on the metal.
Harbor Estates docks on the C-16 canal sit in a fresh-and-salt mix that varies with the canal's releases, in a manatee slow zone east of US-1. That mix means softer growth, slime and a waterline band, and zincs that can last anywhere from 3 to 13 months.
Boynton Harbor Marina on Casa Loma Boulevard sits between Boynton Beach Boulevard and East Ocean Avenue, half a mile south of the inlet, and its fuel dock sells non-ethanol gas and diesel; the city's CRA bought the marina in 2006. The Gulf Stream passes closer to Boynton than to any other U.S. City, which is the whole reason for the Gateway to the Gulf Stream name, and it means the marina's slips empty on weekend mornings and fill again by dark. The East Ocean Avenue bridge is the manatee rule's reference point: from the Lantana bridge south to the marker 0.6 mile north of it, the lagoon is slow speed outside the channel.
Boynton Harbor Marina's slip holders are Gulf Stream fishermen, and a boat that runs offshore every weekend comes home with clean paint and crusted props; Harbor Estates boats on the C-16 grow more slime and show more variable zinc wear.
Boynton Beach boats we clean sit on the Intracoastal Waterway, the Boynton Canal (C-16) and the Lake Worth Lagoon. Boynton Harbor Marina: a regular stop. Private docks in Harbor Estates (ZIP codes 33435 and 33436) 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 Boynton Beach: your questions
I fish the Gulf Stream out of Boynton Harbor Marina every weekend. Is monthly cleaning still needed?
Yes, for the running gear. The runs scrub the painted hull, but barnacles settle on the props and shafts while the boat sits at the marina during the week, and fouled metal costs speed. Thirty days is the maximum; the photos will show you where the growth comes back.
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.
