Marine Services in St. Petersburg, FL

Owner-operated underwater and topside maintenance for boat owners, captains, and marinas across St. Petersburg and Pinellas County.

St. Petersburg sits at the heart of one of Florida’s busiest boating communities, with marinas and private docks lining the waterfront from the downtown basin out to the Pinellas point. Riptide Dive Services keeps those vessels clean, protected, and running their best with diver-operated underwater and topside maintenance throughout St. Pete and the surrounding Pinellas County.

Local knowledge, in your slip

We serve all marinas and waterfront properties in and around St. Petersburg, including Snell Isle, Gulfport, Tierra Verde, Treasure Island, and Madeira Beach. The warm, biodiverse water that makes St. Pete a great place to keep a boat also drives fast marine growth, so we tailor cleaning schedules to your home port and how often you run the vessel.

What we handle for St. Pete boaters

From recurring hull cleaning and zinc anode replacement to dock and piling maintenance, lift cleaning, topside washes, and detailing, we cover everything above and below the waterline. Every visit comes with photo and video documentation and a detailed dive report, so you always know the condition of your boat, even when you are not at the dock.

Call Riptide to schedule service in St. Petersburg and see why local owners, captains, and managers trust us with their vessels.
