Discover the Dirty Boat Bottoms difference:

Our expert team has been dedicated to hull cleaning for over 25 years, carrying on the legacy of the late Paul Draper. We treat every boat with the utmost care, as if it were our own. As Southeast Queensland's premier hull cleaning service, we're committed to preserving your vessel's peak performance throughout the entire lifespan of your antifoul paint. Join the countless satisfied clients who trust us with their boats for a cleaner, more efficient, and longer-lasting experience on the water.

We save boat owners money by cleaning algae, marine life, and barnacles that attach themselves to the bottom of boats. Causing frictional resistance and much greater vessel weight, these effects strain the boat’s engine and cause increased fuel consumption. What’s more, drag due to dirty hulls give boats slower speeds and lower overall performance. 

  • We clean each boat as if the owner was to haul it out the next day. Because sometimes they do!

  • We don't scrub hulls, we take care to preserve the anti foul

  • We have several techniques to clean hulls including underwater hull cleaning tools

  • Regular serviced cleaning is available which can extend the life of the anti-foul

  • For racing yachts and sail boats, we recommend monthly hull cleans to maintain or achieve that winning edge

  • Underwater drone inspections with HD video or photos

Save Money. Increase Performance.

Some Words from our Valued Customers

  • Daves dirty boat bottoms are the best under water cleaning and maintenance outfit in Brisbane and Sunny coast. Prompt. Friendly. Reasonable priced. Scrubs. Anode replacement and props. They WIPE my heavy displacement cruising yacht every 2 months. This is when slime will build up on a parked yacht but before the hard growth can get a start. Highly recommend.

    Gary Hughes

  • A terrific service saving dollars and time compared to bringing the boat out or the hassle of drying it out. It was a wonderfully painless transaction - they did what that they said, when they said they would ...and at a reasonable price. I'm certainly going to do it regularly now that I have discovered them.

    Jim Dobbin

  • I have been using Dirty Boat Bottoms for four years at Scarborough and I am always extremely happy with their prompt professional service as well as the extra speed we get from the boat afterwards. Saves a lot of money being able to extend the time between slipping the yacht as well. Thanks Dave and team!

    Peter Hopkins

  • Big thanks to Dave and the lads for the great job they did on my boat. Looks awesome and really good value for money. Would recommend these guys any time!!!

    Dave Sutton

  • Fantastic service looking after the part of my boat I can't see. The boat performs so much better with a clean hull and props. I can rely on Dave and his team to do a good job every time.

    Michael Sage

  • Been using these guys for a while now. They’re a good mob! Turn up on time and do a bloody good job at a good value price. Happy to give them a plug!

    Colin Furgeson

  • I have had the pleasure of using Dave on multiple occasions now and it could not be any easier. A quick message via Facebook and the job is arranged and quite often completed earlier than planned. Money well spent.

    Aaron Dixon

  • Great service. All it takes is a phone call. Clean bottom (boat that is) that would put most mums to shame. We go like a dream after a little love from Dave and boys. They will also let you know if there are other issues down under. Great service highly recommend!

    John Van Pelt

  • Excellent & prompt service. Great value for money pricing. We recommend this company to boat owners over & over again!

    Super Cat Charters

  • It's very important to maintain a clean hull and a regular check of your anodes.

    This will mean your vessel will spend much less time on the hardstand.

    With regular in-water maintenance, many of our clients cut their slipping intervals by as much as 60% and they save hundreds of dollars and hours of time.

    Whilst slipping your vessel is something that can’t be completely eliminated, subscribing to scheduled hull cleans, you save both time and money by maintaining your boat in a

    clean condition, without ever having to leave the water!

    We recommend a clean and inspection every 4-8 weeks to keep down fuel costs and maintain lower growth on the running gear plus waterline topside appearance.

    In winter we recommend a minimum every 6-10 weeks.

  • Your boat is the perfect breeding ground for all sorts of organisms such as algae, marine life, barnacles, and tube worms. Rapid populations grow quickly and seriously affect the performance and general integrity of your vessel, especially during the summer months.

  • Cleaning your boat underwater Improves the overall performance of your vessel. We help reduce your fuel costs and increase the useful lifetime of anti-fouling paint. During the service, we keep an eye out for damage to the hull or running gear, including foreign object entanglement.

  • Photos of your anodes and anything else that requires your attention along with a report and invoice will be sent to you via e-mail. Payment can be made by Online Bank Transfer, or Credit Card.

  • We have fully licensed and insured divers that will professionally clean the Hull from the bottom of the keel to the waterline and everything in between. Including the propeller(s), shaft intakes, and outlets. We check for damage and the condition of your anti-foul and anodes.

  • We can check the condition, remove, and replace your zinc anodes while your boat is in water.

  • If your boat is under speed or has a vibration, it's more than likely that you have the start of an oyster farm growing on your prop. We can clean your prop and rudder in the water.
