-
Hull Cleaning
Hull cleaning is the process of removing marine growth, algae, and barnacles from the underside of a boat to improve performance and fuel efficiency. Regular cleaning helps prevent long-term damage, reduces drag, and keeps your vessel running smoothly in the water.
-
Sacrificial Anodes
Anodes, often called sacrificial anodes, are crucial for preventing corrosion on a boat's metal parts by attracting electrochemical damage to themselves instead. By corroding in place of important components like propellers and shafts, anodes protect your boat’s vital underwater hardware and extend its lifespan.
-
Propeller Changes
Changing a propeller is necessary when it becomes damaged, worn, or inefficient, as this can lead to poor performance, increased fuel consumption, and strain on the engine. A properly sized and balanced propeller ensures smooth operation, optimal speed, and better handling of your boat.
-
Search and Recovery
Underwater search and recovery is essential for boat owners to retrieve lost items like anchors, tools, or valuables that have fallen overboard, saving time and replacement costs. It also helps in locating submerged obstructions or damage beneath the boat, ensuring safety and preventing further issues.
-
Photo and Video Inspections
Photo and video inspections give boat owners a clear, visual understanding of their vessel’s underwater condition without needing to dive themselves. These inspections help identify issues like hull damage, fouling, or corrosion early, allowing for timely maintenance and avoiding costly repairs.
-
Piling Wrapping
Wrapping pilings is important because it protects them from marine borers, rot, and environmental wear, significantly extending their lifespan. It also helps maintain structural integrity around docks and piers, preventing costly repairs and ensuring safety.
-
Emergency Services
Propeller entanglement can cause serious damage to the propeller, drive shaft, or engine, and may leave the boat stranded.
A clogged A/C will turn a nice day out to a miserable time. Clogged engine intakes or exhausts can inhibit performance.
-
Dock Maintenance and Installations
We clean and install essential dock equipment to keep your waterfront safe, functional, and looking its best. From pilings and boat lifts to ladders, docks, and underwater lights, regular maintenance prevents damage, improves performance, and helps avoid long-term issues.

FAQs
-
In warm South Florida waters, we recommend hull cleaning every 4 weeks to prevent buildup and maintain fuel efficiency. Barnacles, algae, and soft growth can take hold quickly in this climate, and even a thin layer of slime can create drag that slows you down and increases fuel burn. Sticking to a regular cleaning schedule helps protect your running gear, keeps your vessel performing at its best, and reduces long-term maintenance costs. It’s one of the simplest, most effective ways to stay ahead of the harsh marine environment down here.
-
Zinc anodes protect the underwater metal parts of your boat—like the propeller, shaft, rudder, and trim tabs—from galvanic corrosion. In saltwater environments like Hypoluxo, dissimilar metals can create an electrical current that eats away at your hardware. Zinc acts as a “sacrificial metal,” corroding first to keep your more expensive components safe. We recommend inspecting your anodes every 4 to 6 weeks and replacing them when they’re between 30 - 50% depleted. Regular replacement is one of the most affordable ways to avoid major repairs.

We service all types of vessels including recreational boats, fishing boats, yachts, and commercial vessels at marinas and private docks throughout Hypoluxo and nearby areas.
