High-Performance Protection for Cape Cod Waters
The waters surrounding the Cape are notorious for heavy fouling, which can lead to increased fuel consumption and potential hull damage if left untreated. At Bayside Boatworks, we utilize premium antifouling paints tailored to your specific boating style—whether you have a high-speed center console that requires a hard epoxy coating or a cruiser that benefits from an ablative "self-polishing" paint. Our process ensures a consistent, high-mil thickness application that provides a full season of protection, allowing your boat to glide through the water with minimal drag.
Our Professional Hull Preparation and Application Process
A long-lasting bottom job depends entirely on the quality of the surface preparation. Our team begins by thoroughly inspecting the hull and removing any loose or flaking paint from previous seasons. We perform precision sanding and dewaxing to create the ideal surface for new paint to bond, ensuring no peeling or failure mid-season. For boats with significant buildup, we offer specialized services to strip the hull back to the gelcoat before applying a fresh barrier coat and antifouling layers. Every project is finished with careful attention to the waterline, giving your boat a clean, professional look that matches its performance.
Serving All Cape Cod Marinas and Private Docks
Because we are located at the gateway of the Cape in Bourne, we offer rapid mobile service to boat owners across the entire region. Our teams are frequently on-site at Sandwich Marina and Kingman Yacht Center, as well as various boatyards in Falmouth, Mashpee, and Woods Hole. We serve the Mid-Cape communities of Hyannis, Barnstable, and Dennis, providing dockside service to those preparing for trips to the Islands.
Our service area further extends to the Lower and Outer Cape, including the harbors of Harwich, Chatham, and Orleans. No matter where your boat is stored—from a backyard in Cataumet to a high-and-dry facility in Yarmouth—Bayside Boatworks delivers the expert bottom painting you need to ensure a worry-free season on the water.
