We clean boat bottoms in Lake Worth Beach every 30 days, at private docks along the Lake Worth Lagoon from the C-51 spillway at the north end of town down to the Lantana line. The C-51 pushes fresh water into the lagoon here, so hulls sit in a salt-and-fresh mix and zincs wear at a rate that changes from dock to dock.
Hull cleaning on a lagoon fed by the C-51
Near the S-155 spillway the water is fresher and the growth is softer: slime over the paint and a heavy algae band at the waterline, which the diver takes off with soft brushes. Farther south toward Lantana the water is saltier and the props, shafts and rudders grow hard barnacles, because bottom paint can't stick to metal; the diver does those with Ultra-Cavitation, safe on Propspeed.
Every dock in the city sits inside the 300-foot shoreline slow zone, so nothing scrubs a hull between trips, and boats that launch at Bryant Park and stay in the water at a dock get the same treatment as any other. The monthly dive report records each zinc's percentage and the bottom paint condition, with photos, and zincs are replaced at 50%.
Bryant Park is bounded by the Intracoastal to the east, Lucerne Avenue to the north and Federal Highway to the west, and its two-lane ramp with courtesy docks and trailer parking is the city's front door to the lagoon. The William O. Lockhart Municipal Pier, built in 1954, is on the ocean side. The S-155 spillway on the C-51 has fishing piers on both banks, a joint project of Lake Worth Beach, West Palm Beach and the water management district, and the canal east of US-1 is a year-round manatee slow zone. Boats that launch at Bryant Park and stay at a dock afterwards are the ones we see every month.
Lake Worth Beach owners near the C-51 spillway see the softest growth on our Palm Beach route and the least predictable zinc wear; owners toward the Lantana line see more barnacle and steadier anodes. The 300-foot shoreline slow zone means nothing but the diver ever scrubs the hull.
Lake Worth Beach boats we clean sit on the Lake Worth Lagoon, the Intracoastal Waterway and the C-51 Canal. ZIP code 33460: covered every 30 days.
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 Lake Worth Beach: your questions
My dock is right by the C-51 spillway. Should I expect anything different?
Softer growth and less predictable zinc wear. Fresh water from the spillway lowers the salt near your dock, so the hull grows more slime than barnacle, and the electrolysis around the boat changes with each release. The diver's monthly zinc numbers are how you keep track; the cleaning schedule stays at 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.
