Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about keeping your boat clean and protected.
How often should I have my hull cleaned?
Most boats in Tampa Bay benefit from hull cleaning every 3 to 4 weeks. Warm Gulf water grows marine fouling quickly, and the exact interval depends on how often you run the vessel, the bottom paint, and whether the boat sits in a slip or on a lift.
Why are zinc anodes important?
Zinc anodes (sacrificial anodes) corrode in place of your propellers, shafts, and other underwater metals. Replacing them before they are spent protects expensive running gear from galvanic corrosion and saves you from far costlier repairs.
Can you service boats while they are in the water?
Yes. Hull cleaning, zinc anode replacement, and most of our underwater services are performed by divers while your vessel stays in the water, so there is no need to haul out.
Do you work with both private owners and marinas?
We serve individual boat owners as well as captains, marinas, property managers, and waterfront property owners across Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Manatee counties.
What do I receive after a service?
Every service includes underwater photos and a detailed dive report covering the condition of growth, bottom paint, and zinc anodes, plus easy online billing so you always know the state of your vessel.
What areas do you serve?
We serve Tampa Bay and Southwest Florida, including St. Petersburg, Tampa, Clearwater, Tierra Verde, Palmetto, and the surrounding Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Manatee county waterfronts.
