01In-water hull cleaning
Our divers clean the hull, propeller, shaft, struts and keel while your boat stays in her slip. Anodes get checked on every visit and reported back to you.

Sea Strong Marine looks after everything above and below the waterline for boats kept across Hampton Roads. Divers do the hull in your slip, and every visit is filmed from start to finish.
Before and after footage
Every service is filmed. You get the hull before the crew goes in and again when they come out, and it lands with you after the visit without you having to ask. Owners tell us it’s the part they didn’t know they wanted.
The before cleaning video and after cleaning video makes you feel that you’re right there. Makes you feel good on where your money is going.
More than half the crew started out as customers. They watched how the job got done and asked whether there was a place for them, which says more about the standard than anything we could write here.
Meet the crew
Three services
01Our divers clean the hull, propeller, shaft, struts and keel while your boat stays in her slip. Anodes get checked on every visit and reported back to you.
02Wash, compound, polish and protect, carried out at your slip while the boat stays in the water. It’s what keeps salt and UV from turning a good finish chalky.
03Bottom paint to keep her clean and fast, and topside paint when the gelcoat has run out. Both quoted after we’ve come out and looked at the hull properly.
I just started using Sea Strong Marine this year and I couldn’t be happier. They communicate well and show up when they say they will. I pay a little more for the service, but it’s well worth it to know they’re doing it right, and providing video proof.
I was definitely impressed with their work. It was quoted reasonable and the guys were on time and professional. If you are in Norfolk they are the crew you want working on your boat.
Everything is priced by the foot. Your final number comes with the quote, before any work begins and before you commit to anything, and a recurring schedule costs less per visit than calling us out one job at a time.
Full detailing tiers and what each one covers are on the boat detailing page.
For a boat kept in the water year round here, every four to six weeks through the warm months and every eight to twelve weeks over winter. Growth in the Chesapeake moves fast from May onwards, and a hull left three months will cost you speed, fuel and eventually the paint underneath it.
Hull cleaning is priced by the foot, and a recurring schedule works out cheaper per visit than calling us out job by job. Add anodes once or twice a year, a detail in spring, and bottom paint every two to three seasons, and most owners of a boat that size spend somewhere between $1,200 and $2,500 across a year. We can put real numbers against your own boat the same day you ask.
We come to you. Everything below the waterline is done in the water at your slip, and detailing is done there too. Your boat stays where she is and you don’t need to be there.
We handle all of it. One crew covers hull cleaning below the waterline, detailing above it, and paint when she’s due. It means one company to call, one invoice, and a crew who already know your boat rather than someone starting from scratch every time.
Anything from a 25ft centre console up to a 70ft sport fish, and we’ve worked on plenty either side of that. Pricing is per foot, so the size of the boat is already built into the number. If you’re not sure whether yours is a fit, just ask.
Usually within the same week if our schedule allows, and often sooner. If you have a fouled prop or a blocked intake, give us a call and we’ll work out how quickly we can get someone to you.

Or just call us
(757) 453-4159Tell us about her length, where she sits and what you’re after. Two minutes on a form, or over text if that works better for you.
We price by the foot, so there’s no surprise at the end.
The calendar is run by Megan, who manages our operations. That’s the reason the window means something.
After the visit, with the invoice. You see the hull before and after without having to ask.
