Huntington Harbour · Family-run since 1979

We scrape the barnacles, so your boat runs clean.

Since 1979, Barney Culls has been in the water knocking barnacles, grass, and slime off Huntington Harbour bottoms. Monthly cleaning, zincs, props, and bottom paint, from divers who show up when they say they will.

What we do

Everything below the waterline.

One diver, one schedule, the whole boat handled in the water, and the monthly rate known before we start.

  • Monthly hull cleaning

    Divers scrub the barnacles, grass, and slime off your bottom, running gear, and waterline on a set schedule, so growth never gets ahead of you and your paint lasts.

    Schedule: Monthly
  • Zinc & propeller service

    Anode checks and replacement, plus propeller pulling, swaps, and running-gear work, all done in the water with no haul-out.

    Schedule: Ask
  • Thru-hull replacement

    Underwater thru-hull replacement and installation, handled by the diver on your regular visit.

    Schedule: Ask
  • Bottom painting

    Fresh bottom paint to keep growth off and your boat moving clean through the water.

    Schedule: Ask
  • Inspection & underwater photos

    Inspection reports and underwater photos on request, so you can see the condition of your hull without getting wet.

    Schedule: Ask
  • Salvage & recovery

    Dropped something over the side at the slip? Give us a call. We look for it on the next dive and bring up what we find.

    Schedule: Ask

Why monthly

Barnacles don’t quit. Neither do we.

Barnacles and grass never take a month off. Let them build and they drag on your fuel, foul your running gear, and eat into your bottom paint. A regular diver keeps it knocked back, so the boat stays faster, cleaner, and cheaper to run.

That is the whole idea behind a standing schedule: you never think about your bottom, because someone reliable already is.

Algae removal, back bays & canals

Keeping the whole harbor moving.

For HOAs, marinas, and harbor managers: Barney Culls clears the algae, weed, and sediment that choke canals and intakes, so the water moves and the complaints stop. The back-bay page has the whole story.

He fishes her. He cleans her. Same harbour.

Merityme III lives in Huntington Harbour and fishes hard. The crew that keeps her bottom clean is the crew that keeps yours.
