Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a “Lift and Clean” cost?
The charge for a “Lift and Clean” varies please see our Boat Owners / Book a Lift page.

How long does the clean take?
Each lift and clean service is scheduled for 60 minutes, including the time taken to lift and relaunch the
boat.  The lift and relaunch process takes up to 15 minutes, which leaves approximately 45 minutes for cleaning hulls,
changing anodes etc.

How long does lifting take?
The lift takes around 5 to 10 minutes and the relaunch takes approximately 5 minutes.

What do the crew and owners do?
Nothing. Just motor on, pay and go.

Can small repairs be done during the “Lift and Clean”?
Yes, but it is advisable to book extra time when making a reservation as we run hourly lift and clean services
throughout the day.

Is our craft insured whilst the lift and clean is undertaken?
Yes. All Sealift2 docks have full comprehensive marine insurance in the unlikely event of an accident.

Can all yachts and motor boats be lifted and cleaned?
The vast majority of hull types can be lifted, cleaned and maintained, however the owners need to inform our operatives, at time of booking, what specific hull and propeller type they have so that we can prepare for any specific design. There are two designs that we cannot lift at this time: lightweight Kevlar racing hulls that are unable to support the weight of the craft, and catamaran hulls.

What days of the week and hours of operation are you open for?
Currently our working hours are 7 days a week from 08:30 – 17:00 but special arrangements can be made outside these times upon request.

Do you use salt or freshwater for the clean?
We use Freshwater as that slows down the re-growth of algae . In future docks for the certain markets we can fit de-salination units.
