The real cost of growth
Barnacles cost more than a cleaning does
A fouled hull is not just ugly. It is expensive.
- Hard growth drags on the hull, so you burn more fuel to go the same distance
- A fouled prop and running gear rob you of speed and strain the engine
- Barnacles chew through antifouling paint and force early, costly bottom jobs
- Heavy growth can hide corrosion and problems you never see coming
Keeping a boat clean on a schedule costs a fraction of what it takes to fix a boat that has been left to foul. That is the whole idea behind a plan.

What we do
Dive cleaning for boats and docks
Everything happens in the water, at your slip, on a schedule that fits your boat.
Cavitation Cleaning
We clean with the Cavidyne cavitation system. It lifts off hard growth without the abrasive scrubbing that strips your bottom paint.

Running Gear, Props & Thrusters
Props, shafts, thrusters, trim tabs, and intakes. Growth on your running gear costs you speed and control. We clear all of it.

Dock & Piling Maintenance Plans
Pilings, ladders, and lifts foul just like a hull. We clear the growth and set you up on a simple four-month cycle.

Why we're different
We clean the hard growth without stripping your paint
Most cleaning wears your bottom paint down a little every time. We use the Cavidyne cavitation system, which knocks growth loose with collapsing water bubbles instead of an abrasive pad.
- Removes hard barnacles that ordinary pads struggle with
- Leaves your antifouling paint in place, so it keeps working
- Gentle on gelcoat, running gear, and through-hull fittings

Questions
Good to know
How often should I have my boat's hull cleaned in Tampa Bay?
Most boats here do best with a monthly cleaning. Boats that stay in the water year round or run often are better every two weeks. Tampa Bay's warm salt water grows barnacles fast, so a regular schedule is far cheaper than letting growth harden and paying to correct it later.
Do I need to haul my boat out?
No. We clean everything in the water — at your slip or at your dock at home. A diver goes down and cleans the hull, running gear, and waterline while your boat stays right where it is.
What makes cavitation cleaning different?
Cavitation cleaning removes hard growth using a stream of collapsing water bubbles instead of an abrasive pad. It takes the barnacles off without grinding away your antifouling paint, so your bottom job lasts longer and you repaint less often.
Do you service inboard/outboard boats and pontoons?
Yes, we clean most vessels in Tampa Bay. Our maintenance plans are built around keeping any boat clean on a schedule, whether it is a center console, a cruiser, an inboard/outboard, or a pontoon.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. BarnacleBeGone LLC is a licensed and insured Florida business. You are covered whenever we are working on your boat or dock.
How much does hull cleaning cost?
It depends on the length of the boat, how much growth is on it, and how often you want it cleaned. Recurring plans cost less per visit than one-time cleanings. Send us your boat details and we will give you a straight price, usually the same day.
