Marine & Yacht Cleaning Fort Lauderdale
Laser cleaning vaporizes barnacles, algae, and oxidation from yacht hulls and teak decks with precisely-tuned light. The substrate reflects the energy, staying completely untouched.
How Does Laser Cleaning Work?
Laser Pulses Target Surface
Short nanosecond pulses of infrared light are directed at the contaminated surface.
Contaminant Absorbs Energy
Rust, paint, or coating absorbs the laser light while the substrate reflects it.
Rapid Heating & Vaporization
The contaminant heats up instantly, turning into gas or breaking away from the surface.
Substrate Stays Cool
The base material reflects the light and remains at ambient temperature—zero heat damage.
Fume Extraction Captures Residue
Our HEPA vacuum system captures 99.9% of vaporized particles for a dust-free process.
Pristine Surface Ready
Result: a clean, undamaged surface restored to its original condition—ready for coating or finishing.
Eco-Friendly & Safe
100% chemical-free process. No hazardous solvents, making it safe for operators and the environment.
No Secondary Waste
Unlike sandblasting, there is no blast media to clean up—only the captured vaporized coating.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe for my yacht's gelcoat?
Absolutely. The laser is reflected by light surfaces like gelcoat, vaporizing only what shouldn't be there. Zero damage to the substrate.
Can you work at the marina?
Yes, our units are portable. With no dust or chemicals, we're the perfect neighbor at any Fort Lauderdale shipyard or marina.
Does it heat the metal?
Minimally. The pulses are so short (nanoseconds) that heat doesn't have time to transfer to the base material. You can touch the surface immediately after cleaning.
Is it safe for teak wood decks?
Absolutely. The laser can be tuned to remove only the coating while leaving the wood fibers completely intact. It's the preferred method for yacht teak deck restoration.
Do you work on-site in Fort Lauderdale?
Yes! Our portable laser units can come to your location at any Fort Lauderdale marina. Boats, yachts, and dock structures are cleaned in place—no need to haul out.
What about hazardous materials like lead paint?
Our air-scrubbing fume extraction system safely captures hazardous dust and vapors. Laser cleaning is actually the safest way to remove lead paint and asbestos-containing coatings.
