If you keep a yacht in Miami, yacht cleaning is not a luxury — it is the single maintenance task that protects your fuel economy, your cruising speed, and the resale value of the vessel. Biscayne Bay stays warm year round, so barnacles, slime, and algae build on the hull below the waterline faster here than almost anywhere in the country. Aqua Pro Yacht Maintenance has cleaned thousands of yacht hulls across Miami-Dade and Broward since 2004 — in the water, at your slip, with no haul-out required.
What Yacht Cleaning in Miami Actually Involves
Professional yacht cleaning below the waterline is more than a quick scrub. Our NAUI-certified divers remove barnacles and marine growth from the entire hull with a scraper (never a brush that damages your paint), clean and polish the running gear and propellers so you regain lost speed, inspect and replace zinc anodes that protect against galvanic corrosion, and document the whole job with before-and-after photos sent to your phone. Everything is done at your dock in Miami — you never haul the yacht out or move it.
Why Miami Yachts Need Cleaning More Often
South Florida water rarely drops below 70°F even in winter, and the nutrient-rich bay creates a year-round growing season for fouling organisms. A yacht hull cleaned five weeks ago in July can already carry measurable drag. For most yachts kept in Miami marinas we recommend a 4-to-6-week cleaning interval — tighter in summer (June–October, peak barnacle season), slightly looser December–March. Skipping cleanings does not save money: soft algae is easy to remove, but hardened barnacle colonies require skilled work and, left long enough, damage the antifouling paint entirely.
Yacht Cleaning Prices in Miami
Our in-water yacht cleaning is priced per foot: $4 per foot for vessels 20–50 ft and $5 per foot for 60 ft and up. A 50-foot yacht is $200; an 80-footer is $400. Zinc anodes are quoted per anode plus installation. You pay after the work is done and you have seen the before-and-after photos — no deposit required.
