Professional Boat & Yacht Hull Cleaning in Charleston
Looking for reliable hull cleaning in Charleston? Miami Marine LLC provides underwater hull cleaning, bottom cleaning and running gear service for vessels across Charleston Harbor, the Ashley and Cooper Rivers, Mount Pleasant, and the Lowcountry. Our commercial divers come to your marina slip, mooring or private dock, so there is no haul-out and no downtime.
In Charleston's warm, tidal Lowcountry waters, marine growth builds quickly. Regular in-water hull cleaning keeps barnacles and slime off your bottom, protects your anti-fouling paint, restores speed and cuts fuel consumption.
Our Hull Cleaning Services in Charleston
- Hull & Bottom Cleaning: Non-abrasive removal of algae, slime and soft growth that is safe for premium anti-fouling paint.

How Often Should You Clean Your Boat Hull in Charleston?
In Charleston, most boats and yachts need a hull cleaning every 3 to 4 weeks to stay ahead of slime and barnacles, and more often in the warmest months. We set a recurring schedule around your vessel's use, bottom paint and slip location.
We clean hulls at every marina listed below, plus private docks and residential canals throughout the Charleston area.
