Antifoul & Propspeed

Biofouling Prevention: Enhance performance & protect moving parts

Below your vessel’s waterline is a thriving ecosystem where all kinds
of marine life can make a home out of your boat.

Buildup of weed, barnacles and slime on your hull increases drag and thus reduces speed and fuel economy. Marine growth can find its way into even the smallest gaps and cracks under your boat which can damage moving parts if left unchecked

Antifoul

Traditional antifoul bottom paint when applied correctly will prevent biofouling on your vessel’s hull, increase performance and protect moving parts.

When choosing antifoul for your boat, consider factors such as the type of water you’ll be sailing in (freshwater, saltwater, or brackish), the materials of your boat’s hull (fiberglass, wood, aluminum, etc.), the type of activity you’ll be doing (cruising, racing, fishing), and local regulations regarding antifouling paints and environmental impact. Additionally, look for antifouling paints that are compatible with any existing coatings on your hull.
Choosing the right system requires technical understanding and product knowledge. Get in touch now for a consultation.

Great customer experience with these guys! Prompt quote, turned up when they said they would, delivered an awesome job which exceeded expectations. No question will be getting Matt & his team back next year to keep the boat sparkling 🙂
John Stanley
Highly recommend these boys, they are knowledgeable and reliable. They did a cut and polish, and cleaned the inside of my 60 foot riviera. It looked new, I was very impressed. Great enthusiasm, a good price and completed in a timely matter

Got in touch with the team to work on my Rayglass 2500 which was in a bit of a sorry state. When I arrived to pick it up I was convinced that they'd swapped her in for a new model! Fantastic job from the gents on such short notice.
Sam Allan
Guys detailed our 9m aluminium trailer boat and did a great job, made the paint look like new. Would definitely use again. Cheers 👍

Our company has been working with Harry and his team, and they continue to deliver for the vessels we manage. They are able to get the job done to a high standard within our timeframes and stay within their quote. We at BoatSmart HQ highly recommend Marine Detailing Company.

Marine detailing company is by far the best marine detailing company in Auckland. They work magic and the results are stunning. I’ve used them plenty of times and they are worth every dollar spent. Would highly recommend.

Great job on my Markline 900. The guys were friendly and worked hard (one night they didn't finish untill 7pm) Did a nice finish on my antifoul and prop-speed (prop & trim tabs) Will be using them again! The only down side was they were a day late in starting, but that is to be expected at this tyime of year, plus the weather doesn't help! Excellent communication and organisational skills from both Matt and Harry, the owners. The staff were also great and kept us up to date on progress. Thanks Marine Detailing !

Was going to do the anti foul and prop speed myself, but came down sick just at the scheduled haul out, got a speedy response to my email from Harry, and the guys cracked into it the next day, job looks good and they were happy to use the paint I had purchased.

Done a whole anti fouling job for us quoted at another place for three days in one day. Professional as anything, couldn’t recommend it enough.
