How much does hull cleaning cost per foot in Tampa Bay?

Pricing hull cleaning by the foot is the fairest way to do it, because length is the single best predictor of how much surface a diver has to cover. A 30-foot boat simply has more hull, more running gear, and more waterline than a 22-foot boat — so it takes more time and earns a proportionally fair price. No guessing, no surprises.

What the per-foot rate covers

For a boat on a regular schedule, a single per-foot rate covers the complete in-water service:

• The full hull and waterline, cleaned with media matched to your bottom paint.
• The running gear — props, shafts, struts, and rudders — cleared of growth.
• An anode check on every visit, so you know before a zinc runs out.
• Documentation of what the diver found, every time.

Why a recurring boat costs less per visit

A hull kept on a three-to-four-week schedule never grows more than a light film between dives, so each cleaning is quick and gentle. A hull that hasn’t been touched in months carries heavy, hardened growth that takes longer to remove — which is why first-time or neglected cleanings are sometimes quoted higher than the standard per-foot rate. Staying on schedule is the cheapest way to own a clean boat.

What can move the number

A few honest variables fine-tune the final price: how long it’s been since the last cleaning, the condition of the bottom paint, and whether the marina charges access fees. We confirm the exact figure on inspection — the per-foot rate is the starting point, not a moving target.
