The most underrated maintenance .
Underwater hull cleaning is by far the most underrated maintenance aspect for seawater yachts. Although monthly cleaning schedules come with a price, the benefits far outweigh the costs! We know that veteran boat owners are aware of the importance of caring for their boats year-round and that maintenance is an important part of owning a boat. That is why we emphasize the importance of regular hull cleaning. We use green technologies to clean your hull affecting the environment as little as possible.
Not too long ago, boat owners were required to bring their yachts to the shipyard dry dock to have their hulls blasted from the surface. This was a very expensive, and time-consuming, process. Our 'best-maintenance practices' approach to gently clean your hull regularly has resulted in boat owners like yourself saving thousands of dollars in maintenance costs. From increased hull paint life, to proper shaft and propeller operation, to increased fuel efficiency due to less drag, the benefits are endless!
Hull cleaning removes growth from the bottom of the boat, ensuring easy gliding across the water. A hull with growth and barnacles not only reduces acceleration, but also reduces top speed. It takes your props far greater effort to cut through the water if they are fouled. The U.S. Navy Experimental Diving Unit (NEDU) has provided studies and documentation supporting the fact that regular hull cleaning can provide up to 30% better fuel efficiency on all yachts. I can't see why it would be any different on our cold coastal waters of British Columbia. That fact alone justifies SYSTEMATIC cleaning of the hull.
Aside from better fuel efficiency, regular cleaning extends bottom paint life by removing harmful growth before it roots too deep into the paint. Waiting months for a clean will ALWAYS result in more paint chipping and wearing away. Still not convinced? Veteran boat owners will readily share the value of proactive maintenance.
Last, but not least, scheduled hull cleaning provides you with the comfort and assurance that your hull is inspected regularly. We will keep records of your anodes’ (zinc) condition and remind you when the time comes to schedule your next underwater maintenance. You will feel a lot more comfortable knowing that the best and most experienced divers are closely monitoring your boat for defects.
Your dock requires maintenance too!
With time, mussels and barnacles grows on the bottom of your dock and the chains that keeps it in place. The weight of those mussels pulls the dock down. The weight of mussels and other growth on your chains causes it to wear out. Keeping the bottom of the dock clean goes a long way to prevent rot on all wooden components.
Hundreds of owners have placed their trust in our services to maintain their investments, and none have been disappointed!
