Marine Services in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Our Fort Lauderdale dive team provides a full range of underwater and waterfront maintenance services for yachts, sportfishing boats, sailing vessels, and commercial craft throughout Broward County:

Hull Cleaning: Regular underwater hull cleaning removes barnacles, slime, and biofouling before marine growth increases drag and fuel costs. Essential in Fort Lauderdale’s year-round warm waters.

Cavitation Cleaning: Non-abrasive ultrasonic cleaning for hulls, propellers, and running gear. Removes growth without damaging your antifouling coating or polluting the surrounding water.

Zinc Anode Replacement: We inspect and replace zinc anodes on every applicable service, protecting your vessel from galvanic corrosion in Fort Lauderdale’s electrically active marina environments.

Dock Cleaning: Professional cleaning for docks, finger piers, and dock hardware to maintain appearance, prevent deterioration, and protect your waterfront investment.

Piling Cleaning: Marine growth on pilings accelerates wood rot and structural damage. We keep your pilings clean and extend their lifespan with regular maintenance.

Seawall Cleaning: Algae, barnacles, and biofouling buildup on seawalls can conceal cracks and accelerate erosion. Our seawall cleaning service keeps your structure visible and protected.

Lift Cleaning: Boat lift frames and bunks accumulate growth and corrosion quickly in South Florida’s saltwater environment. We clean and inspect lifts throughout Fort Lauderdale’s waterfront neighborhoods.

Why Fort Lauderdale Yacht Owners Choose Barnacle King

South Florida’s warm, nutrient-dense waters accelerate marine growth faster than almost anywhere in the US. Barnacles, slime, and algae attach quickly, and left unchecked they drive up fuel costs, degrade coatings, and put unnecessary strain on running gear.

Barnacle King was built specifically for this environment. Our Fort Lauderdale dive team uses ultrasonic cavitation technology and non-abrasive methods that protect your hull’s antifouling coating while delivering a thorough clean every time.

We also support transient yachts arriving for the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) and vessels preparing to depart for the Bahamas, the Caribbean, or extended offshore passages via Port Everglades.

Every service includes:

✓ Real-time GPS diver tracking

✓ Post-clean photos and a written dive report

✓ On-time guarantee: if we don’t confirm within 30 minutes, your first clean is free
