Down here in Florida, you really need to have the bottom done every month, even
after a haulout and repaint. The algae growth is amazing. (The Tampa Bay area
bans the sale of fertilizer during the summer to protect against major blooms.)
So the divers concentrate on a volume business. They try to get a couple of
dozen boats in one location – they often offer a deal at large marinas – then
go right down the line and get them all done at once. On a monthly contract, a
boat won’t accumulate that much growth, so it takes about 30 minutes on a
30-foot boat.
I suspect you folks are partly paying for drive time. Plus, there are a million
divers here who love to be in the water all of the time, so there is a good
deal of competition.

$35 is an amazing price, especially in a warm climate where the growth is
guaranteed to be heavier. I've heard of others in the Solomons area getting a
recurrent contract price of $100 per month for biweekly cleanings. Comes down
to how often you think it needs done and how good your paint is.

in Pompano Beach, Fl.
At those prices, there’s no way I would ever jump overboard and do it myself.

I just paid $100 for my 37+ (40') in Solomons. That's about half of what a
short haul was gonna cost.

I have paid anyplace between $60 and $150, depending on who does it and how
dirty the boat is. I have my own gear too, but my wife is convinced I'll get a
horrible disease from swimming in the marina. She only wants me cleaning the
boat up at the yacht club or some other semi-clean place. So far the worst I
have had is an ear infection from Weems Creek and barnacle cuts that get
infected. Please do NOT clean the bottom without gloves. Those cuts always get
red and take a long time to heal :(

Joe,
How much does a bottom cleaning run?
