Mobile Hull Cleaning in Lighthouse Point, FL
Lighthouse Point is one of the most boat-dense cities in Broward County. Most of its homes sit on canals, most of those canals have a boat tied up behind the house, and the Hillsboro Inlet is only minutes away — which is exactly why so many offshore sportfishing boats are kept here. Aqua Pro Yacht Maintenance brings the cleaning to you: our divers work from your backyard dock or your marina slip, the boat never leaves the water, and you pay after the job is done.
We have been cleaning boat bottoms across Miami-Dade and Broward since 2004. For Lighthouse Point owners that means mobile, in-water service on your schedule, with before-and-after photos of the hull, running gear and props sent to your phone so you can see the work without being on the dock.
Why Boats Behind Lighthouse Point Homes Foul So Fast
Residential canals are calm, warm and slow to flush. That is ideal for keeping a boat safe and terrible for keeping a bottom clean. Water that barely moves lets slime films and barnacle larvae settle on anything that sits still — and a boat that waits between offshore trips sits still most of the week. In summer, with water temperatures in the mid-80s, a hull can go from a light slime to hard growth in a matter of weeks.
Boats kept close to the inlet see a second problem: when the tide pulls ocean water in, it brings more barnacle larvae with it. That combination is why we recommend a tighter schedule here than many owners expect — typically every 3 to 4 weeks from June through October, and every 4 to 6 weeks through the cooler months.
Yacht Bottom Cleaning for Sportfishing Boats
A sportfish that runs out of the Hillsboro Inlet needs its full speed and its fuel economy. Growth on the bottom and on the running gear costs both: a fouled prop loses bite, a rough bottom adds drag, and the boat burns more fuel to make the same run. Our divers clean the entire wetted surface by hand, polish the props, clear growth from the strainers and intakes, and check your zinc anodes on every visit so corrosion never gets ahead of you.
Because the work happens at your dock, there is no haul-out to schedule, no travel lift, no yard bill and no days out of the water. Most boats are done in a single visit.
What Mobile Hull Cleaning Costs in Lighthouse Point
We publish our rates: $4 per foot for boats 20 to 50 feet and $5 per foot for 60 feet and up. A 34-foot center console is $136; a 50-foot sportfish is $200. Zinc anodes, props and other running-gear work are quoted on site so you only pay for what the boat actually needs. There is no deposit — you pay after the work is finished and you have seen the photos. See full hull cleaning prices.
Owners who want the bottom kept clean without thinking about it can put the boat on a monthly plan: we come on a set schedule, you get photos after every visit, and the price per visit stays the same.
Frequently Asked Questions — Lighthouse Point
Do you clean boats at private docks in Lighthouse Point? Yes. Most of our Lighthouse Point work is at private docks behind homes. You do not need to be there — we send photos when we finish.
How often should my boat be cleaned here? Every 3 to 4 weeks in summer and every 4 to 6 weeks in winter for most boats kept in the canals. Boats used every week can sometimes stretch that; boats that sit for long periods usually need it tighter.
Will cleaning damage my bottom paint? We clean with tools matched to your antifouling paint and keep the pressure controlled. The goal is to remove growth, not paint.
Do you also cover Pompano Beach and Deerfield Beach? Yes — we service boats all along the north Broward coast, including Pompano Beach, Deerfield Beach and Fort Lauderdale.
