Frequently asked questions
Do I need to lift the boat out of the water?
No. The work is carried out in the water, at the berth, when compatibility and operating conditions allow. You do not need to arrange a haul-out for routine cleaning.
Is the service suitable for every boat?
No. Feasibility depends on hull geometry, the type and condition of the antifouling, the level of fouling and how accessible the berth is. That is why every boat is assessed individually before a job is confirmed.
How long does a job take?
It depends on the length of the boat, the condition of the hull and the operating conditions on the day. We give an estimate in the quote, after the preliminary assessment.
Does cleaning replace haul-out?
No. Robotic cleaning is a maintenance service and does not replace haul-out, technical inspection or yard work where those are needed. It is there to keep fouling under control between them.
Can I receive photos or video?
During the job we observe the reachable areas of the hull through the underwater camera and, where agreed, we share images or notes about what was observed. The check is visual and does not replace a technical, structural or surveyor's inspection.
How is the price calculated?
The price depends on the boat, the condition of the hull, access and the type of work required. That is why we do not publish a price list: after the preliminary assessment you receive a quote for your boat.
Where do you operate?
We work by appointment in Trieste. Availability depends on where the boat is, how accessible the berth is, marina rules and operating conditions. If your boat is elsewhere, get in touch and we will assess the request.
What happens in bad weather?
The work is subject to sea and weather conditions. If conditions are not suitable, we agree a new date together.
