Barnacle Removal for Boats in Florida
Barnacles bond hard to a hull and can damage paint, props and through-hulls. We remove them underwater so your boat can stay in the water.
What's Included
- Barnacle removal on hull, keel and rudder
- Cleaning of props, shafts and trim tabs
- Through-hull and intake checks
- Careful scraping to limit paint damage
- Condition notes after the dive
Why It Matters
They Create Drag
Even a thin layer of barnacles can slow a boat and add load to the engine.
They Damage Surfaces
Left too long, barnacles can pit paint and gelcoat and clog intakes.
Easier When Caught Early
Light growth comes off faster and with less wear than a thick crust.
Prevention Helps
A regular cleaning schedule keeps barnacles from getting a foothold.

Can barnacles be removed without hauling the boat?
