Antifouling is the process of applying a protective coating to your boat’s hull to prevent marine growth
Left untreated, these organisms can slow you down, increase fuel use, and damage the hull over time. Regular antifouling helps maintain performance, extend the life of your vessel, and reduce long-term maintenance costs.
Why Antifouling Matters
- Prevents Marine Growth: Stops buildup of algae, barnacles, and other organisms.
- Boosts Performance: Reduces drag and helps your boat move more efficiently.
- Improves Fuel Efficiency: Less resistance means lower fuel consumption.
- Protects Your Hull: Prevents corrosion and surface damage from fouling.
- Saves Money Long-Term: Reduces wear and tear, preserving your boat’s value.
Types of Antifouling Coatings
- Hard Paints: Durable and abrasion-resistant—great for fast or high-use boats.
- Self-Polishing Paints: Gradually wear away to expose a fresh protective layer—ideal for boats in the water long-term.
- Copper-Based Coatings: Effective against marine growth but less eco-friendly.
- Eco-Friendly (Non-Copper): Uses biocides or zinc to protect without harming marine environments.
- Epoxy-Based Coatings: Provide strong adhesion and are often used as a base layer.
How It Works
Antifouling coatings release active ingredients that deter marine organisms. As the boat moves or the coating wears, fresh biocides are exposed to maintain protection.
Our Antifouling Process
- Surface Prep: Cleaning, sandblasting to remove old paint and growth.
- Priming (if needed): Ensures strong paint adhesion.
- Application: We apply high-quality antifouling paint tailored to your vessel and usage.
- Curing: We allow proper drying time before relaunch.
Reapplication Schedule
Antifouling coatings typically last 1–3 years, depending on usage and conditions. Boats kept in water year-round may require more frequent treatment.
Sandblasting strips away old paint, rust, marine growth, and other contaminants from your boat’s hull.
It leaves the surface clean, smooth, and ready for fresh coatings or repairs—essential for maintaining your vessel’s performance and longevity.
Why Sandblasting Matters
- Preps for New Coatings: Ensures strong adhesion of antifouling paint, varnish, or epoxy.
- Removes Marine Growth: Eliminates barnacles, algae, and buildup that slow you down.
- Strips Rust & Corrosion: Exposes bare metal for proper treatment and protection.
- Restores Surface Appearance: Brings back a clean, even finish to your hull.
- Improves Efficiency: A smoother hull means better speed and fuel economy.
How It Works
- Setup & Protection: Boat is secured and surrounding areas are shielded.
- Media Selection: We choose the right abrasive (e.g., sand, crushed glass, garnet) based on your boat’s material and needs.
- Blasting: High-pressure media removes layers of buildup and contaminants.
- Clean-Up: We remove all debris to leave a clean, ready-to-coat surface.
- Inspection: Post-blasting checks identify any damage or areas needing repair.
Types of Abrasive Media
- Sand: Ideal for tough jobs.
- Crushed Glass: Effective and less abrasive.
- Garnet: High-strength for heavy rust removal.
- Baking Soda: Gentle for sensitive surfaces.
- Plastic Beads: Non-abrasive for light cleaning.
When to Sandblast
- Before applying new antifouling or hull paint
- After long periods in water with heavy marine growth
- To remove rust, corrosion, or damaged coatings
- Prior to long-term storage or seasonal maintenance
Professional, eco-friendly, and efficient, our sandblasting service is the first step to keeping your boat in peak condition.
