We clean boat bottoms in Hallandale Beach every 30 days, in the Golden Isles canals, at the city marina on the Three Islands Waterway and at private docks along the Intracoastal. The Broward Intracoastal is slow speed within 50 feet of shore, so boats at these docks sit in slow salt water where growth is never disturbed.
Hull cleaning in Golden Isles and at the city marina
Golden Isles canals are still, salty water between man-made islands, and a boat that waits there between weekends grows a thick waterline band and hard barnacles on the running gear, where bottom paint can't stick. The diver works from your dock, cleans the hull with Ultra-Cavitation, brushes the waterline, does the props and shafts (safe on Propspeed) and checks each zinc.
At Hallandale Beach City Marina, Broward's southernmost dockage, the 26 annual slips sit just off the Intracoastal behind a 17-foot fixed bridge, and the boats there are cleaned in place.
Hallandale Beach City Marina has 26 annual slips and 3 transient slips with a pump-out, and the fixed Three Islands Boulevard bridge beside it clears 17 feet at mean water, which caps the size of what can get in. Water is only 0.40 square miles of the city, and Golden Isles, annexed from Miami-Dade into Broward and the city in 1978, holds most of it. Along the Broward Intracoastal the rule is slow within 50 feet of shore and 25 mph outside that buffer, so the run from a Golden Isles canal to the ocean is slow at both ends and fast in the middle.
Golden Isles owners can compare notes with the city marina's slip holders: same salt water, same 30-day schedule, but the marina boats sit closer to the Intracoastal's tide and tend to show more barnacle on the metal in the photos, while canal boats show a heavier waterline band. Either way and the report arrives without anyone at the dock.
Hallandale Beach boats we clean sit on the Intracoastal Waterway and the Three Islands Waterway. Hallandale Beach City Marina: a regular stop. Private docks in Golden Isles and on Three Islands (ZIP code 33009) 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 Hallandale Beach: your questions
My Golden Isles boat has no bottom paint yet. How often do you need to come?
Every two weeks until it is painted. Barnacles adhere to bare gelcoat faster and thicker than to bottom paint, and if they are left too long they can blister the gelcoat and fiberglass. Once the hull is painted the schedule goes to 30 days.
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.
