Keeping your boat’s hull clean and protected is essential for performance and longevity. At East Coast Sport & Marine, we offer professional antifouling and bottom painting services in Shediac, Pointe-du-Chêne, and across Atlantic Canada, helping boaters reduce drag, improve fuel efficiency, and protect their investment.
Antifouling refers to applying specialized marine coatings on the underside of your boat to prevent the growth of:
Barnacles
Algae
Mussels
Marine slime
Left untreated, these organisms attach to your hull, slowing your boat, increasing fuel consumption, and causing long-term damage.
Improves Performance – A clean, smooth hull glides through the water efficiently.
Saves Fuel – Reduced drag means lower fuel costs.
Protects Hull Integrity – Prevents marine growth from penetrating and damaging gelcoat and fiberglass.
Reduces Maintenance – Less scrubbing and cleaning throughout the season.
Extends Lifespan – Keeps your boat in top condition year after year.
At East Coast Sport & Marine, we tailor antifouling treatments to your boat type, usage, and local waters. Our services include:
