A Dirty Hull Costs You More Than You Think
From our Gibraltar base, we see first-hand how marine growth on your hull isn't just cosmetic — it directly impacts your vessel's performance, your wallet, and the environment. With rising water temperatures accelerating algae growth and stricter antifouling regulations, regular professional hull cleaning is no longer optional.
- Up to 20% increase in fuel consumption from fouled hulls
- Higher CO₂ emissions contributing to climate change
- Reduced vessel speed, manoeuvrability, and handling
- Antifouling paint alone is no longer sufficient
Advanced Robotic Hull Cleaning
We use state-of-the-art underwater drones engineered specifically for cleaning large yacht hulls — no divers, no dry-docking, no downtime.
Wide-Area Cleaning Brush
Counter-rotating brushes cover up to 6–7 m² per minute for fast, thorough cleaning.
Powerful Hull Adhesion
Stays securely attached even on large, curved surfaces — designed for hulls up to 50 metres.
Live HD Camera Feed
Our operator monitors the entire process in real-time, ensuring full coverage and quality control.
Built-In Waste Capture
A 50–180 micron filter bag captures all removed algae and debris — nothing enters the water.
Watch Our Drone Clean a Hull
30 seconds is all it takes to see the difference. Our robotic drone removes marine growth quickly, safely, and without removing your antifouling paint.
Our 6-Step Cleaning Process
From inspection to completion — a fully controlled, environmentally responsible workflow.
Pre-Clean Inspection
We document your hull's condition via live camera feed before any cleaning begins, establishing a clear baseline.
Drone Deployment
The cleaning drone is lowered into the water and adheres to your hull using powerful suction — no scaffolding, no hauling out.
Systematic Robotic Cleaning
Counter-rotating brushes methodically remove algae, barnacles, and fouling at up to 6–7 m² per minute.
Waste Capture
All debris is collected in the onboard filter bag — absolutely nothing is released into the water.
Post-Clean Inspection
A full camera review confirms complete surface coverage and verifies the cleaning quality.
Operator Report
We deliver a complete before-and-after record of your hull's condition for your records.
From Yachts to Commercial Vessels
Our equipment is purpose-built for large hulls between 12 and 50 metres. Whether you own a private yacht, manage a fleet of ferries, or operate commercial vessels, we deliver the same meticulous, certified cleaning process.
- Yachts & superyachts (12 m – 50 m)
- Light sea ferries — reducing fuel costs at fleet scale
- Commercial vessels — custom assessment available
- A.N.C.C.P. certified — safe for antifouling coatings
Environmentally Responsible Hull Care
Our cleaning method is certified and designed to protect the marine environment at every step of the process.
Paint-Safe Cleaning
Does not remove antifouling paint — actually extends the life and effectiveness of existing coatings.
Zero Marine Pollution
All waste captured on-site in the onboard filter bag. Nothing is released into the water.
Reduces Dry-Docking
Less environmental disruption overall — keeps your vessel in the water where it belongs.
Lower Emissions
A clean hull means less fuel burned — directly reducing your vessel's carbon footprint.

Minimal Time, Maximum Results
Our robotic drone works at an impressive cleaning speed of 1.5 m²/min, meaning even large vessels are cleaned quickly without disrupting your schedule.
- 40 ft (12 m) — approximately 45 minutes
- 60 ft (18 m) — approximately 60 minutes
- 80 ft (24 m) — approximately 75 minutes
- Hot weather: 1 clean/month · Cold weather: 1 clean every 3 months
Expert Propeller & Drive Cleaning
While our robot handles the hull, our certified professional diver takes care of the rest — propellers, shafts, rudders, and running gear — all done by hand, underwater.
- Propeller cleaning included with every annual package
- Shaft, rudder & thruster inspection
- Gentle hand-cleaning — no damage to anodes or coatings
- Underwater photo report after every service
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about professional hull cleaning in Gibraltar.
How much does hull cleaning cost in Gibraltar?
Hull cleaning starts from approximately £600 per clean based on a standard £25/m² rate. We offer an annual package of 4 cleans for the price of 3, plus a free propeller clean. All pricing is confirmed with a free on-site quote — no surprises.
How often should I clean my boat's hull?
In warmer months we recommend cleaning once a month due to accelerated marine growth in the Mediterranean. In cooler months, once every 3 months is sufficient. Regular cleaning prevents fouling build-up and protects your antifouling paint.
Is robotic hull cleaning safe for antifouling paint?
Yes. Our A.N.C.C.P. certified robotic system is specifically designed to be safe for all antifouling coatings. It removes marine growth without stripping the paint, and can actually extend the effectiveness and lifespan of your antifouling.
What size vessels do you service?
Our equipment is purpose-built for vessels between 12 and 50 metres — private yachts, superyachts, light ferries, and commercial vessels. For boats over 15 metres we provide tailored pricing based on a detailed hull assessment.
Do you operate outside Gibraltar?
While based in Gibraltar, we service vessels across the Western Mediterranean including the Costa del Sol, Marbella, Algeciras, and La Línea. Contact us to discuss deploying to your location.
Is your hull cleaning process environmentally friendly?
Absolutely. All removed marine growth is captured on-site in the robot's onboard filter bag — nothing enters the water. Our process is A.N.C.C.P. certified and designed to protect Gibraltar's marine environment at every step.
