Question 1

How does dry ice blasting remove gelcoat oxidation and marine growth from yachts in Marco Island?

Accepted Answer

Dry ice blasting accelerates solid CO2 pellets at supersonic speeds to impact oxidized gelcoat and marine growth. The extreme cold (-109°F) causes thermal shock that fractures contaminants, while kinetic energy lifts them from the substrate. The CO2 sublimates instantly into gas, leaving zero residue. This process restores gelcoat shine, removes barnacles and algae, and cleans yacht hulls throughout Marco Island's marinas without chemicals or abrasives that damage fiberglass.

Question 2

Can you clean yacht engines and mechanical systems without water damage?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dry ice blasting is ideal for yacht engine rooms and mechanical systems in Marco Island. The process uses solid CO2 that sublimates completely—no water, no moisture, no risk of corrosion or electrical damage. We remove carbon deposits from diesel engines, clean hydraulic systems, restore generator components, and remove oil buildup from bilges without introducing liquids that could damage sensitive marine electronics or cause rust.

Question 3

What marine contaminants can dry ice blasting remove from boats and yachts?

Accepted Answer

Dry ice blasting removes gelcoat oxidation, marine growth (barnacles, algae, mussels), carbon deposits, salt buildup, oil and grease, hydraulic fluid, bottom paint residue, mold and mildew, and corrosion. In Marco Island's marine environment, we clean yacht hulls, engine rooms, teak decks, stainless steel railings, and underwater components—removing years of Gulf exposure without damaging substrates or marine finishes.

Question 4

Is dry ice blasting safe for teak decks and luxury yacht finishes?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Dry ice blasting is non-abrasive and won't damage teak, gelcoat, varnish, or delicate yacht finishes. The process removes oxidation, mildew, and grime from teak decks without the aggressive scrubbing that causes wood fiber damage. We safely clean luxury yacht interiors, restore exterior gelcoat, and remove corrosion from stainless steel throughout Marco Island's superyacht fleet—preserving the premium finishes that define luxury vessels.

Question 5

Do you need to haul boats out of the water for dry ice cleaning?

Accepted Answer

Not always. While hull cleaning is most effective when hauled out, we can clean many yacht systems in-slip at Marco Island marinas. Engine rooms, mechanical systems, deck hardware, and interior spaces can be cleaned while the vessel remains in the water. For bottom cleaning and underwater component restoration, we coordinate with local boatyards to provide comprehensive dry ice blasting during scheduled haul-outs.

Question 6
