We clean boat bottoms in Jupiter every 30 days, at the 500-plus private docks of Admirals Cove, at Jupiter Harbour where the inlet meets the Intracoastal, and along the Loxahatchee River. The river runs from nearly fresh in the Northwest Fork to fully salt at the inlet, so what grows on a Jupiter hull depends on where the dock sits on that gradient.
Hull cleaning from the Northwest Fork to the inlet
Near the inlet and on the Intracoastal the water averages above 25 parts per thousand, and boats at Jupiter Harbour and Burt Reynolds Park grow hard barnacles on the props, shafts and rudders, where bottom paint can't stick. Upriver, where the estuary runs 11 to 25 and the Northwest Fork drops below 0.1, the growth turns to slime and waterline algae.
Admirals Cove's waterways are slow-speed backwaters off Lake Worth Creek, and a boat there sits still between runs out the inlet. Zinc wear follows the salt gradient, so the monthly dive report records each anode's percentage and the bottom paint condition, with photos, and zincs are replaced at 50%. For Admirals Cove's gate, the divers call ahead and text you right before they arrive.
Burt Reynolds Park on North US-1 covers 35.55 acres with 2,000 feet of Intracoastal frontage, six boat ramps (the west-side ramps open around the clock) and county day-use slips; DuBois Park at the inlet's south jetty and Waterway Park, a county ramp open sunrise to sunset, round out the public access. The Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse of 1860 stands on the north bank inside a 120-acre BLM Outstanding Natural Area, and the Jupiter Inlet District has kept the inlet open since 1921, apart from the war years when it was closed. Jupiter Inlet Colony across the inlet is its own town, incorporated in 1959.
Jupiter owners get the most varied photos on our route: an Admirals Cove boat in slow backwater shows slime and a waterline band, a Jupiter Harbour boat at the inlet shows hard barnacle on every piece of metal, and a Northwest Fork boat in nearly fresh water shows the softest growth of all.
Jupiter boats we clean sit on the Loxahatchee River, the Intracoastal Waterway and Lake Worth Creek. Private docks in Admirals Cove and Jupiter Harbour (ZIP codes 33458, 33469 and 33477) 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 Jupiter: your questions
My dock is well up the Northwest Fork of the Loxahatchee. Do I still get barnacles?
Fewer barnacles, more slime and algae, and the running gear still fouls. Water in the upper Northwest Fork is nearly fresh, so the growth is soft, but props and shafts collect growth in any water and zinc wear changes with the salt. The 30-day schedule holds; the monthly photos show you what your stretch of river does.
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.
