We clean boat bottoms in Lantana every 30 days, at the deep-water docks of Hypoluxo Island and along the Lake Worth Lagoon near Sportsman's Park. The lagoon is brackish and the water around the island is a slow zone, so a boat behind a Hypoluxo home sits still in a salt-and-fresh mix that grows slime, waterline algae and barnacles on the metal.
Hull cleaning on Hypoluxo Island
Hypoluxo Island docks have ocean access through the Boynton Inlet a few miles south, and boats that run it come home with a clean painted hull and fouled running gear, because bottom paint can't stick to props and shafts. The backwaters east of the island are a 50-foot shoreline slow zone, so nothing scrubs the boat at the dock.
Brackish water is the reason the monthly report matters here: zinc wear depends on the electrolysis right around your dock, and the lagoon's mix of inlet salt water and canal fresh water changes it. The diver records each anode's percentage and the bottom paint condition every visit, with photos, and replaces zincs at 50%.
Sportsman's Park at 320 East Ocean Avenue has two boat ramps, 27 trailer spaces, fish-cleaning stations and a seawall fishing pier, and it is open 24 hours except during town events, with a town decal required. Boats that launch there go home dry. The Lantana Avenue (SR 812) bridge over the Intracoastal is the manatee rule's boundary: south of it the lagoon is slow speed outside the channel, north of it there is a 300-foot shoreline slow zone. Either side of the bridge, a boat that stays in the water is on our monthly list.
Hypoluxo Island boats run south to the Boynton Inlet and come home to still backwater, and their owners see the classic split in the photos: clean paint, fouled metal. The brackish lagoon makes the zinc numbers worth reading every month.
Lantana boats we clean sit on the Lake Worth Lagoon and the Intracoastal Waterway. Private docks on Hypoluxo Island (ZIP code 33462) 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 Lantana: your questions
Does brackish lagoon water mean my Lantana boat grows less than one on the ocean side?
Different, not less. Brackish water grows more slime and waterline algae and still puts hard barnacles on the running gear, and it changes zinc wear from dock to dock. The 30-day schedule is the same; the monthly photos and zinc numbers are what tell you how your dock behaves.
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.
