Antifouling is one of the most important parts of looking after your boat. Get it right and your hull stays clean, fast and protected.
We carry out antifouling at our Hobsonville Marina workshop, and we can travel to other Auckland boatyards for some jobs. Whether your boat lives on the water or on a trailer, we have a solution to suit.

A pinnacle of boat care and maintenance, antifouling stops marine life building up on your hull. Left too long, that growth affects the structure, makes the boat harder to steer and causes it to drag through the water.
We start by cleaning and sanding the hull to remove any organisms already living on it, then apply premium primers to prep the surface. Propellers and running gear are antifouled with coatings developed for aluminium. When build-up gets excessive we also offer a full hull scrapeback and sandblasting service to take the hull back before recoating.
