At Reparación Barcos Benalmádena, we offer a comprehensive antifouling service to keep your vessel in top condition. Antifouling is a specialized paint applied to the hull of your boat. Its primary function is to release biocides that prevent the growth of marine flora and fauna, ensuring the hull remains clean and smooth, which reduces friction and consequently, fuel consumption.

Selecting the appropriate antifouling is crucial for protecting your boat. Consider the following factors:

• Time in Water: The amount of time your boat will spend in the water directly affects the type of antifouling you need.
• Navigational Area: The water conditions in your sailing area influence the choice of product.
• Distance and Speed: The miles you plan to sail and your average speed are key to selecting the right antifouling.

We provide guidance to help you choose the best product for your specific needs, ensuring optimal protection for your vessel.

Not all boats need antifouling. This treatment is essential if your boat will be submerged for more than a week. Small boats, like jet skis, which are removed from the water daily, do not require this type of paint.

Benefits of Antifouling

• Corrosion Protection: Acts as an effective barrier to prevent corrosion on metal hulls.
• Performance Optimization: Improves water flow around the hull, leading to higher speed and better overall performance.
• Fuel Savings: Reduces fuel consumption by keeping the hull clean and free of marine organisms.
• Maintenance Cost Reduction: Prevents additional expenses from propeller, engine, and hull surface deterioration caused by marine growth.
