Gold Coast Antifoul and RB Marine Covers combine to create a unique, comprehensive boat service center situated within the Runaway Bay Marina. Positioned conveniently on the Broadwater, it serves as the perfect destination to rejuvenate your boat through a variety of services, including minor fiberglass repairs, annual antifouling, and marine cover and upholstery repair or replacement.
Antifoul Bottom Painting: Protecting your boat’s hull from micro-organisms that can compromise its integrity and performance is crucial. Boat antifouling, a special type of paint applied to the hull’s bottom, forms a protective barrier that shields your vessel from marine life. The effectiveness of this coating typically ranges from 12 to 18 months, depending on your location. In areas with high tidal flow, more frequent antifouling may be necessary due to a greater number of microorganisms attaching to the boat. Gold Coast Antifoul also offers Propspeed propeller antifoul, which can enhance your boat’s performance and fuel efficiency.
Marine Covers and Upholstery: The marine environment is harsh, making high-quality covers essential for protecting your boat whether it’s on the water, moored, on a trailer, or in storage. As a reputable marine trimmer, Gold Coast Antifoul and RB Marine Covers use top-quality UV-stable canvases, such as Sunbrella or Weather-Max 80, along with a lifetime PTFE thread brand like Profolin, Healius, or Tenara.
Their skilled machinists reinforce edges and finish with a waterproofing spray to ensure watertightness. The team is capable of repairing or replacing various elements, including biminis, camping covers, clears, zippers, midge screens, window shields, hatch covers, and even full boat covers. Additionally, they can repair or replace indoor and outdoor upholstery and bedding throughout your vessel.
Hull Polishing: The highly-trained team specialises in boat detailing and cleaning, providing a range of services. Their detailing packages encompass washing the boat from the waterline, cleaning under hatches, and all grooves and tracks. They will efficiently remove salt, bird droppings, water stains, and grime.
Subsequently, they employ a proven hull restoration method to buff and polish the gelcoat, restoring the boat’s shine while applying a protective coating.
The team takes great pride in providing swift and exceptionally professional service from skilled tradespeople, addressing all your boat maintenance requirements.
