Hull Cleaning
Keep your vessel fast, efficient, and ready for the Gulf with Palmetto’s premier underwater mechanical team. At Safe Harbor Regatta Pointe, the convergence of the Manatee River and the Intracoastal creates a high-fouling environment that demands more than just a basic scrub. Bottom Time Dive Service provides veteran-led hull cleaning and specialized propulsion support designed for the heavy-duty demands of river-front docking. Whether you need performance-extending routine cleanings or a professional propeller pull after a strike, we deliver precision results directly to your slip.
A clean hull is the foundation of your boat’s performance. In the nutrient-rich waters of Regatta Pointe, even a few weeks of neglect can lead to a drop in fuel economy and a rise in engine temperature.
Non-Abrasive Cleaning: We utilize the least abrasive tools and cleaning methods possible to strip aggressive river growth and slime while preserving the integrity of your antifouling paint.
Critical Intakes & Thrusters: We prioritize clearing your internal thru-hulls and bow thrusters, ensuring your cooling and maneuvering systems function perfectly in the river’s heavy currents.
The Summer Standard: To stay ahead of the rapid warm-water bloom, many Regatta Pointe vessels benefit from an increased maintenance frequency starting May 1st.
The shifting shoals and debris can turn a perfect day on the water into a mechanical nightmare. If you’ve experienced a grounding or a propeller strike, you don't need a haul-out, you need a specialist.
In-Water Propeller Pulling: We use professional-grade pullers specific to each unique running gear setup to remove damaged propellers right at your dock. This saves you the massive expense and scheduling headache of a haul-out yard.
Vibration & Damage Assessment: If your boat feels "off," we provide detailed underwater inspections of your propellers, shafts, struts, and rudders to diagnose misalignments or strike damage before they lead to transmission failure.
Precision Installation: When your props return from the shop, we handle the re-installation with mechanical oversight, ensuring every component is seated and secured to professional standards for a vibration-free ride.
