Boat Bottom Paint & Antifouling Services – Islands Marine Center, Lopez Island, WA

At Islands Marine Center on beautiful Fisherman Bay in the San Juan Islands, we offer professional bottom paint and antifouling services to protect your boat’s hull and keep it performing at its best. Bottom painting is essential preventive maintenance for boats that stay in the water, helping to prevent marine growth, reduce drag, improve fuel efficiency, and protect the hull from long‑term damage caused by barnacles, algae, and other fouling organisms. Regular bottom paint also supports better handling and overall performance, whether you’re cruising the San Juan Islands or moored in one of Lopez Island’s scenic coves. 

Our bottom paint services include both first‑time coatings and re‑coats for vessels of different hull materials and sizes. We provide clear, competitive pricing based on beam width and paint type, with first‑time bottom paint available for fiberglass and aluminum hulls, plus dedicated rates for stern drive prep and paint and outboard brackets. For boats that already have antifouling paint, we also offer re‑coat services with labor and materials included, and options for multiple coats when enhanced protection is desired.

Bottom Paint

Whether you’re preparing your boat for the boating season or refreshing worn‑out paint, our experienced team ensures thorough preparation and application. Proper bottom paint starts with surface cleaning and preparation to promote paint adhesion and long‑lasting protection — an important step that helps your antifouling paint work effectively year after year.
