Cavitation Cleaning

Professional Cavitation Cleaning Services in Southeast Florida

Keep your vessel performing at its peak with premium cavitation cleaning from Barnacle King. We provide expert diver-operated hull and propeller cleaning throughout Southeast Florida, including Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Palm Beach. Our underwater cavitation cleaning method efficiently removes marine growth without damaging sensitive surfaces, offering an eco-friendly alternative to harsh scraping or chemicals.

Benefits of Cavitation Cleaning

Cavitation cleaning uses high-frequency ultrasonic waves to create microscopic bubbles that implode on contact. This cleaning process safely blasts away barnacles, algae, and biofouling from your hull, propeller, and running gear.

Here’s why more captains and yacht owners in Southeast Florida are choosing cavitation cleaning for boats:

  • Non-abrasive, eco-friendly results: Unlike traditional scraping or power washing, ultrasonic cavitation cleaning doesn’t damage coatings or pollute the surrounding water.
  • Restores efficiency and speed: Marine growth can dramatically increase drag. Hull cavitation cleaning reduces resistance and improves fuel economy.
  • Protects expensive equipment: Regular ultrasonic cleaning preserves the lifespan of your running gear, trim tabs, rudders, and thrusters.

Whether you own a yacht in Miami Beach or manage a fleet in Broward County, our marine cavitation cleaning ensures your vessel runs clean and efficiently all year long.

Underwater Cavitation Cleaning Services

At the Barnacle King, our divers are trained in cutting-edge cavitation technology to deliver thorough, reliable service on every job. We bring premium service and precision to every cleaning, including:

  • Full hull cleaning: From waterline to keel, we eliminate barnacles, slime, and biofouling.
  • Propeller and shaft polishing: You can maximize propulsion efficiency with our precise underwater treatment.
  • Zinc inspection: We’ll perform a zinc inspection to spot potential galvanic corrosion issues early.
  • Before/after proof: Every job includes post-cleaning photos and dive reports so you can verify the results.

We don’t just clean—we prove it. You can also track our diver in real-time with live GPS updates, so you know exactly when your service is underway. We know your time is valuable, so if we don’t confirm your appointment within 30 minutes, your first clean is free.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is cavitation cleaning?

Cavitation cleaning uses ultrasonic sound waves to produce microscopic bubbles. When the bubbles collapse, they create a gentle scrubbing effect that removes marine growth from submerged surfaces without damaging the material.

Is cavitation cleaning safe for my boat?

Yes, cavitation cleaning is safe for fiberglass, gel coat, metal, and specialized hull coatings. The process is non-invasive, non-abrasive, and leaves surfaces intact.

What are the benefits of cavitation cleaning?

The benefits of cavitation cleaning are that it improves fuel efficiency, reduces drag, protects expensive underwater components, and helps prevent long-term corrosion or damage from marine growth.

How often should I schedule cavitation cleaning?

How often you should schedule cavitation cleaning depends on the usage and marine growth in your area. We find that most vessels benefit from cleaning every one to two months. Yachts kept in warm, shallow waters may need more frequent cleaning.

What’s the difference between cavitation and traditional hull cleaning?

Traditional hull cleaning often uses scrapers or brushes that can scratch paint and coatings. Cavitation cleaning relies on ultrasonic bubbles to lift growth away without contact, making it ideal for high-end finishes and environmentally sensitive areas.
