Antifouling done right — from prep to final coat.
A proper bottom paint job starts long before the first coat goes on. We handle full prep, existing paint assessment, sanding, priming where needed, and application of quality antifouling paint that keeps growth off and speed on.
What this service is really about.
Bottom paint is your hull's first line of defense against barnacles, slime, and marine growth. In warm South Florida waters, a good antifouling job saves fuel, restores top speed, and prevents expensive hull damage from prolonged growth cycles.
We coordinate with your marina or yard for haul-out and blocking, then do the work right: pressure wash, scrape and sand as needed, spot-prime bare areas, tape crisp waterlines, and apply two coats of quality ablative or hard antifouling paint matched to your usage pattern. Full repaints, refresh coats, and barrier coat systems are all in scope.
Real results — from a real crew.

Common questions.
How often should I paint the bottom?
In South Florida, most boats need a fresh coat every 12–24 months depending on usage, storage, and paint type.
Ablative or hard paint — which is better?
Ablative paints wear off slowly and don't build up over years, ideal for most boaters. Hard paints suit high-speed use and frequent haul-outs.
Do you handle blister repair or barrier coats?
Yes — for scoped projects. We'll assess at haul-out and quote any additional repair work before starting paint.
