Boat Bottom Paint Removal in Miami and South Florida

Antifouling and bottom paint removal and hull prep at marinas, yards, and private docks.

Layers of old antifouling build up over time and trap moisture against the hull. 1NSG removes bottom paint with wet abrasive blasting, taking the hull down to a clean surface and preparing it for a fresh barrier coat and antifouling system.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a hull take?

It depends on length, number of coating layers, and condition. We give an estimate after seeing the vessel rather than quoting blind by length alone.

Do you coordinate with the boatyard?

Yes. The yard has its own containment, environmental, and scheduling requirements, and we work within them.

What happens if we find blisters underneath?

Blistering is often only visible after the coating is removed. We document it and discuss the repair scope before proceeding, rather than coating over it.
