Boat Cleaning at Pelican Harbor Marina, Miami
Pelican Harbor Marina is a City of Miami facility on the northern shore of Biscayne Bay, sitting between the Julia Tuttle and 79th Street causeways. Its position on the northern bay — with Bakers Haulover Inlet just a few miles away — means the marina receives strong Atlantic tidal exchange that keeps barnacle pressure elevated year-round. Aqua Pro Yacht Maintenance serves Pelican Harbor Marina with divers who come to your slip, clean your hull, check your zincs, and deliver a full photo condition report, all without moving your boat.

Why it pays off
A clean hull saves you fuel and repairs
Lower fuel burn
Marine growth creates drag. A clean hull restores top speed and cuts fuel costs on every run.
Protects your paint
Letting growth build up shortens the life of your bottom paint — and repainting is costly.
Every 4-8 weeks
In Miami warm salt water, regular maintenance keeps performance up year-round.

Hull Cleaning Services at Pelican Harbor Marina
Aqua Pro provides full underwater maintenance at your slip — no haul-out, no yard fees, no trailer required. Here is what we do at Pelican Harbor Marina:
- Hull Cleaning — Complete removal of barnacles, tube worms, algae, and slime from your hull, keel, and rudder. Most boats at Pelican Harbor Marina need cleaning every 4–8 weeks in these South Florida waters.
- Zinc Anode Replacement — We inspect and replace sacrificial anodes on props, shafts, trim tabs, and hull fittings. The saltwater and galvanic corrosion are active year-round in Biscayne Bay — we check zincs on every visit.
- Propeller Cleaning & Polishing — Fouled props reduce fuel efficiency by up to 30% and stress your drive train. We clean props at the dock and can remove, service, and reinstall if needed.
- Underwater Inspection & Photo Report — Full photo documentation of your hull, running gear, through-hulls, and zincs. Required for insurance claims and essential for tracking paint condition over time.
- Dock & Piling Cleaning — If your slip at Pelican Harbor Marina includes assigned dock sections or pilings, we clean those as well.
Why Boats at Pelican Harbor Marina Need Frequent Cleaning
Northern Biscayne Bay, where Pelican Harbor Marina is located, receives direct tidal influence from Bakers Haulover Inlet just a few miles north. This tidal exchange delivers a constant supply of barnacle larvae from the Atlantic — making fouling rates at northern bay marinas faster than mid-bay locations. The bay here is also slightly deeper, keeping water temperatures more stable year-round, which prevents any natural seasonal die-off of marine growth. Boats at Pelican Harbor Marina typically need hull cleaning every 5–7 weeks, with aggressive barnacle growth peaking in summer when water temperatures reach 85°F+.
