What Counts as 'Heavy Fouling'?

Thick marine growth is identified by a combination of barnacles, oysters, hard shell buildup, dense algae, and long grass that covers large sections of the bottom. This level of growth requires significantly more time and effort to remove and may require multiple passes or specialized tools. Owners will be notified of heavy fouling before any transaction.

Winter Cold-Water Labor Adjustments (Nov–April)

Cold-Water / Winter Labor Adjustments

During the winter months, Chesapeake Bay water temperatures routinely fall into the 40°F range. Cold water significantly impacts labor demand, dive conditions, bottom time, gear requirements, and safety. Because of this, a small seasonal adjustment applies during winter months:


Winter Hull Cleaning Adjustment

  • Up to 39 ft — + $65 flat winter adjustment
  • Over 40 ft — + $1.75/ft winter adjustment


Winter Anode / Zinc Replacement

  • If combined with a hull cleaning: $30 per anode
  • Standalone winter anode service: $45 per anode
  • $135 minimum for standalone winter zinc service
