Robotic hull cleaning.
Your vessel never leaves the water.
An underwater drone removes fouling while your boat sits at its berth — no dry dock, no downtime, and every gram of growth captured before it touches the sea.

Growth never stops.
Your hull pays for it.
In Mediterranean water, algae and barnacles colonise a hull within weeks. You don't see it from the deck — you see it at the fuel pump, on the log, and at the helm.

The machine
A drone built for one job: your hull
No divers scraping blind, no haul-out. The robot crawls the hull on suction while our operator watches every square metre through its cameras.
-
Brushes
Counter-rotating, paint-safe
Soft brush drums lift algae and barnacles without stripping antifouling — a 40 ft hull takes about 45 minutes.
-
Adhesion
Holds curved hulls up to 50 m
Suction keeps the drone locked on even across chines and bow flare, from motorboats to superyachts.
-
Cameras
Live HD operator feed
Every pass is watched in real time, so nothing is missed — and you get the footage in your report.
-
Filtration
50–180 micron waste capture
An onboard filter bag traps everything the brushes remove. Nothing is released into the sea.
The process
Six steps, fully documented
From first inspection to final report, every clean follows the same controlled procedure — and you get the evidence.
-
01
Pre-clean inspection
We film your hull's condition before touching it, establishing a clear baseline.
-
02
Drone deployment
The robot is lowered at your berth and attaches to the hull by suction. No scaffolding, no haul-out.
-
03
Systematic cleaning
Counter-rotating brushes work the hull in overlapping passes — algae, slime, and barnacles off.
-
04
Waste capture
All removed growth collects in the onboard filter bag and is disposed of ashore.
-
05
Post-clean inspection
A full camera review confirms complete coverage before we call it done.
-
06
Operator report
You receive the before-and-after record of your hull's condition for your files.

Zero discharge
Cleaner hulls, cleaner sea
Everything the brushes remove ends up in the filter bag, not the harbour. The process is certified, safe for antifouling coatings, and keeps your vessel out of the dry dock — where the real environmental cost lives.
- Paint-safe — extends antifouling life instead of stripping it
- 100% waste captured — filtered on board, disposed ashore
- Fewer haul-outs — less dry-dock disruption for hull and habitat
- Lower emissions — a clean hull burns meaningfully less fuel
FAQ
Questions owners actually ask
How much does hull cleaning cost in Gibraltar?
Hull cleaning is priced at £25/m² of hull area, so a typical 10 m boat comes to roughly £500 per clean. 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. Read our full guide to hull fouling.
Is robotic hull cleaning safe for antifouling paint?
Yes. Our certified robotic system is 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?
Everything from 6 m motorboats to 50 m 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 the process environmentally friendly?
Yes. All removed marine growth is captured on-site in the robot's onboard filter bag — nothing enters the water. The process is certified and designed to protect Gibraltar's marine environment at every step.
