Hull Cleaning

Removes the waterline scum, hard water spotting and grime that builds up on a hull sitting in Central Texas lake water.

Performed at your dock, marina slip or storage location on Lake Travis, Lake Austin and across the greater Austin, Texas area.

What this service addresses

Boats kept in the water collect a stubborn band of buildup right at the waterline, along with mineral spotting and dulling film across the topsides. Left alone it hardens, holds stain and becomes progressively harder to lift without abrading the gelcoat.

What the work involves

  • Rinse and wash the topsides and hull sides with marine-safe cleaning products
  • Targeted treatment of the waterline band and mineral staining
  • Attention to hard water spotting from lake water and sprinklers at dock level
  • Hand drying to keep new spotting from setting as the hull dries
  • An assessment of whether staining is surface level or has reached oxidized gelcoat

How this gets quoted

We cannot price hull cleaning from a description alone, because the amount of work scales with the size of the boat and how far the surface has gone. Send the boat type, approximate length and a short description of the condition, add photos if you have them, and we will quote the work for your boat specifically.

  1. Pick a time. Choose an appointment on the booking calendar. Calendly asks what we need to know. Nothing is charged to book.
  2. Text photos of the boat. We review them and confirm the final price with you before the appointment.
  3. We come to the boat. We schedule a time and perform the work at your dock, slip or storage location. No trailering required.

Boats we perform this on

  • Pontoon boats
  • Wakeboard and wake boats
  • Center console boats
  • Yachts

What we need on site

Access to the boat and to the slip or dock, and a note about whether water and power are available where the boat is kept. Tell us when you book if they are not, and we will plan the visit around it.

Waterline buildup depends heavily on where the boat lives, so these pages go deeper on that:

Packages that include hull cleaning

What moves hull cleaning is how long the boat has sat in the water and how hard the waterline band has set. A film that is still soft comes off in a single pass, while a band that has bonded and stained needs dissolving and sometimes polishing before the hull looks even again.
