Marina partnership — Miami, Fort Lauderdale & South Florida

Cleaner water.
On the record.

Biscayne Bay is under growing scrutiny, and what happens beneath your docks is now part of the conversation. Our robot captures what hand cleaning releases, reads the hull with AI before touching it, and documents every pass in an app. Your basin gains a record. Your members gain a better hull. And your divers keep the skilled work a robot will never do.

Why now

The water is being watched.

Biscayne Bay under pressure

Water quality in the bay has become a public subject. Marinas are increasingly expected to account for what happens below the waterline, not only above it.

The paint is not the problem — the veil on top of it is

Antifouling only works while it touches the water. Within days, a film of vegetation covers it and it stops acting — so growth accelerates and the paint is blamed. Hand scraping then attacks the coating itself and releases its biocides into the basin. Neither is inevitable.

Proof is becoming the standard

Stating that a hull was cleaned is no longer enough. Showing it — dated footage, a condition log, a traceable history — is where the industry is heading.

Your basin, your standing

Owners choose marinas that look after the water their vessel sits in. Clear water has quietly become part of what a berth is worth.

How it actually works

We treat what needs it. Never the paint.

The system reads the hull and shows the operator, in red, where fouling is densest. He steers there first, instead of running brushes uniformly over paint that does not need it. What is lifted is the first layer of vegetation — three to five millimeters — which puts the antifouling back in direct contact with the water. The coating starts working again, its service life is extended rather than shortened, and barnacle formation slows down markedly.

  • On-screen mapping flags the most fouled areas in red — the operator steers to them first
  • ANCCP-certified brushes that do not remove antifouling paint
  • Only the vegetal film is lifted — the coating is left intact and reactivated
  • Detached growth is caught in an on-board filter bag, not left in your water
  • No biocide released, because the paint itself is never abraded
  • HD footage and a condition log in the app, vessel by vessel, dated

For your basin

Growth recovered on board. Coating untouched.

For your members

Antifouling reactivated, fuel saved, history documented.

For your records

A dated, per-vessel environmental trail.

Working alongside your divers

The robot does not replace a diver.

A drone grooms flat surfaces. It does not service propellers, shafts, anodes or running gear — and it is not meant to. That work stays where it belongs: with professional divers. Our Signature and Prestige memberships send one. What the robot takes on is the repetitive, environmentally sensitive part of the job — so the skilled hands are free for the work that actually requires them.

Divers keep the running gear

Propellers, shafts, anodes, through-hulls, inspections: the robot does not go there.

Less scraping, more skill

The tedious, low-value part of the dive disappears. What remains is the work that justifies a professional.

We work with them, not against them

Where a marina already has trusted divers, we coordinate with them rather than displace them.

Partnership models

Three ways to work together.

Every marina is run differently. Pick the structure that fits yours — terms are agreed together, in writing, before anything starts.

Model one

Referral

You introduce us to your members. We handle everything else — scheduling, service, billing, support.

  • Your members are billed by us, at our published rate — no intermediary markup
  • Your marina is compensated for the introduction
  • No work, no invoicing, no staff time on your side

Simplest to start. Nothing changes in your operations.

Model three

Environmental partner

No commission at all. Instead, we become your reference method for hull grooming — a method that removes nothing from the paint and returns the growth to shore rather than to your basin.

  • Growth recovered in a filter bag at every intervention, documented
  • Reporting you can present to your board or to the authorities
  • Preferential rate extended to all your members

For marinas whose priority is water quality, not revenue.

Commercial conditions, exclusivity and duration are discussed privately, case by case. Nothing is committed before you have seen us work.

Full transparency

Your members stay yours.

We operate inside your marina — sometimes on your behalf, sometimes on our own — but always among your members. That makes transparency non-negotiable. Every partner marina receives private access to its own dashboard: what was done, on which vessel, and when. Nothing about our work at your docks is hidden from you.

Every intervention, listed

Which vessel, which berth, which date, which service. Your docks, on one screen.

The same footage your members see

Hull condition, running gear, anodes. No edited version for the marina, no other version for the owner.

Your partnership statement

Whatever we owe you under the agreed model, itemized and dated. Available to you at any time, not once a year.

We never go around you

We do not solicit your members outside your marina, and we do not follow them elsewhere. They came to us through you.

Private access, one per marina, protected by credentials — opened the day the partnership begins.

Getting started

From first call to first hull.

01

We meet at your marina

Half an hour on your docks. We look at your basin, your slip mix, and what your members actually need.

02

We run a pilot

A handful of vessels, at no cost to you, so you see the method, the crew and the video reports before committing to anything.

03

We agree terms

You choose the model, we put it in writing, and your members get access. Rollout takes days, not months.
