Painting
In our painting process at Nautilus Shipyard, we undertake a meticulous approach to ensure a top-quality finish. This begins with the careful removal of all hardware such as rails, cleats, and vents, along with any teak or wood trim present on the boat. Our team focuses on repairing any surface imperfections like chips, dings, or gouges to guarantee a smooth surface. We prioritize surface preparation by washing, de-waxing, and thoroughly sanding the boat, creating an optimal base for the paint application. This is followed by the meticulous application of primer and paint layers. Once the painting process is complete, we meticulously polish and wax the entire boat, ensuring comprehensive protection for the new paint job and preventing oxidation. Our goal is to deliver a flawless and long-lasting paint finish, preserving the boat's appearance and integrity.

High Pressure Water Cleaning
At Nautilus Shipyard, we prioritize the immediate pressure washing of boats as they are lifted out of the water. Our commitment to this practice is crucial, as we believe it is essential for maintaining boat integrity. It's our strict policy not to relocate a boat into the yard until it has undergone this meticulous washing process, upholding our standards for cleanliness and boat maintenance.

Antifouling Services
At Nautilus Shipyard, our lifting capabilities extend to boats weighing up to 40 tons, measuring up to 5.6 meters wide and up to 50 feet long. Utilizing a Slipway cradle, we adeptly lift boats in and out of the water. We strongly advise ensuring that all boat tanks, including fuel, water, and waste tanks, are as empty as possible before the lifting process. This practice is essential as full tanks significantly increase the boat's weight, potentially placing undue strain on the vessel's structure while on land. Emptying these tanks is crucial to reducing the stress on the boat's framework during its time out of the water, contributing to the preservation of its structural integrity.

Osmosis Treatment
Osmosis, a common issue in fiberglass boats, occurs when water penetrates the hull, causing blistering and damage. At Nautilus Shipyard, we employ a meticulous process for osmosis treatment to restore and protect your vessel. Our approach begins with the thorough inspection of the hull to identify affected areas.We then proceed with the removal of affected layers using specialized tools to eliminate blisters and expose the affected fiberglass. The hull is carefully dried to remove all traces of moisture. Next, we apply a suitable treatment, such as epoxy resin, to seal the affected areas and prevent further water intrusion. Following the treatment application, we ensure proper curing and hardening of the resin to restore the hull's integrity. Our final step involves applying a protective barrier, such as antifouling coatings, to safeguard the hull against future osmosis issues. Our dedicated team at Nautilus Shipyard is committed to providing comprehensive osmosis treatment, ensuring your boat is thoroughly restored and protected against potential damage, allowing you to navigate the waters with confidence.
