Losing speed or burning more fuel than you should?
Most antifouling issues are not obvious. Not until performance drops and yard costs start to creep up.
We help captains and owners across South Florida stay ahead of hull performance issues before they turn into expensive problems.
Fixed scope. Clear timing. No obligation.

What you cannot see is usually the issue
A slight drop in speed.
Fuel burn creeping up.
Performance that feels a bit off, with nothing obvious to point to.
Most antifouling problems start exactly like this. Subtle, easy to ignore, and only fully understood once the vessel is lifted.
The difference is not the coating. It is the control around it.
At Aquamare, antifouling is never treated as a one-off task. We align preparation, coating, and finishing across paint, GRP, and technical trades, so the result performs properly. Not just looks right on launch.
- ✓ Built around real yard schedules and real usage.
- ✓ One accountable team across every trade below the waterline.
- ✓ Focused on consistent performance between yard periods.
If this sounds familiar, it is worth getting ahead of it
We can review your scope before the vessel is lifted and help you avoid unnecessary cost, delay, and reactive decisions later.
Plan your haul-out →
Bottom coatings are where haul-outs are either controlled, or not
Once a vessel is lifted, everything below the waterline is exposed. Running gear, through-hulls, structural elements. That is when decisions get made, often under time pressure.
Handled properly, it is part of a controlled plan. Handled poorly, it extends yard time, increases cost, and creates avoidable problems.
A typical haul-out, properly managed
Lifted on schedule
A vessel is lifted for scheduled antifouling, with the yard period already mapped.
Scope aligned in advance
Before the lift, potential additional works have already been raised and discussed.
Identified with access open
During inspection, those items are confirmed across the hull and running gear.
Absorbed into the period
Because the wider scope is already agreed, the works fold into the existing yard period.
What we handle during your haul-out
All trades under one roof, so nothing below the waterline gets missed.
Antifouling Application
Performance coatings applied for durability and efficiency.
Hull Preparation
Surface preparation that ensures coating longevity.
Running Gear Coatings

Inspection & Reporting
Issues identified early while access is available.
Repair Coordination
Additional works integrated without disrupting schedule.
Haul-Out Planning
Structured yard periods that control cost and timing.
Get control of your next haul-out before it starts
Send us your vessel details and planned works. We will give you a clear view on scope, timing, and where costs can be controlled before the vessel is lifted. No obligation, just a practical view on next steps.

Bottom job was completed exactly as planned. On time, on budget, and no surprises along the way. Everything was handled properly from lift to relaunch.
This is our third year working with Aquamare. From start to finish, everything is organised and controlled across the yard period. No chasing, no last-minute issues. See you next year.
Went in for a bottom job but knew we had an issue with the platform. Aquamare grouped everything together and managed it as one scope. We were back in the water on time for charters.
