What we do
Your boat’s performance starts underwater.
We assess the hull and underwater gear, then choose the right tools and process for the vessel, coating condition and level of marine growth.
Running gear
Careful cleaning around propellers, shafts, rudders, trim tabs, intakes and other underwater fittings.
Underwater checks
A methodical visual check of the below-waterline hull and accessible underwater components while we work.
Scheduled care
Practical maintenance intervals based on your vessel, location, use and local growth conditions.
Safety, care & compliance
