We clean boat bottoms in North Palm Beach every 30 days, in Safe Harbor Old Port Cove's slips, at Anchorage Park Marina and at private docks on the village canals and Little Lake Worth. The Earman River pushes fresh water into the canals from behind its saltwater dam, so growth and zinc wear here change from one canal to the next.
Hull cleaning at Old Port Cove and in the canals
Old Port Cove's 250-plus slips sit on the Intracoastal 4 miles from the Lake Worth Inlet with no bridges to open, in saltier water than the canals, and the props, shafts and rudders of a boat there grow hard barnacles because bottom paint can't stick to metal.
Canal docks off the North Palm Beach Waterway and the C-17 sit in slow, mixed water where the growth turns softer and the zincs wear unpredictably, and Little Lake Worth docks sit in a 50-foot shoreline slow zone. The country club island's drawbridges are not an issue for a diver working from the dock.
Anchorage Park Marina on Anchorage Drive has a boat ramp that needs a resident decal, wet and dry storage with a waitlist, two day docks and a kayak launch. Safe Harbor Old Port Cove has operated since 1973 and holds more than 250 vessels from 20 to 200 feet, with a private channel that begins at Intracoastal marker 27. The North Palm Beach Country Club sits on a village island reached by the Lighthouse Drive, Earman River and Parker drawbridge crossings, and the docks around it are as canal-bound as any in the village.
Old Port Cove's slip holders are the saltier end of the village and see the most running-gear growth; canal owners off the Earman River see softer growth and zinc numbers that move with the canal's releases. For the marina gate the divers call ahead and send a text right before the visit.
North Palm Beach boats we clean sit on the Lake Worth Lagoon, the Intracoastal Waterway, Little Lake Worth, the Earman River (C-17) and the North Palm Beach Waterway. Anchorage Park Marina: a regular stop. Private docks in Old Port Cove (ZIP code 33408) 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 North Palm Beach: your questions
Old Port Cove is gated. Can you get to my slip without me?
Yes. The divers call ahead and text you right before the visit, the marina is told a diver is coming, and the diver works from the slip. The report and photos go to you afterwards.
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.
