Of the 121 businesses that publish a service list on their own websites, 14 list underwater hull cleaning. Some add related jobs: 7 list anode replacement, 7 list zinc replacement, 5 list cavitation cleaning and 5 list running gear cleaning. If you want the zincs checked while the hull is cleaned, ask each business before booking whether that is included.
Only 66 businesses publish the boat types they work on, so the data is incomplete. Of those 66, 22 list yacht, 18 list sailboat, 17 list center console and 12 list motor yacht. Ask whether the crew has cleaned your kind of hull before.
This specialty is about removing growth from the hull, in the water or ashore. If the hull needs fresh antifouling paint, look at Bottom Painting & Antifouling, which has 401 businesses nationwide. If you need underwater inspection or repair, look at Diving & Underwater Services, with 197. For above-water washing and polishing, Boat Detailing & Cleaning has 849.
