At Boatcaptain, we offer an efficient diving service to provide you with quick and expert assistance. Whether your boat is too large for a crane, you want to save on costs, or you simply need prompt service, our diving service is the solution for you.
Even with good antifouling, fouling cannot be completely prevented. However, it is important to maintain it regularly to minimize inconvenience and ensure smooth sailing. This saves costs and keeps your boat in optimal condition. Our diver can clear your underwater hull of fouling in just a few hours.
Are you worried that your vessel has sustained damage, or do you want to know the condition of your underwater hull? With a quick diving inspection, we can assess any underwater damage without the need to immediately haul your boat out of the water.
For small repairs, you can also make use of our diving service. For example, when replacing anodes, there’s no need to haul the entire boat out of the water. Our diver ensures that the repair is completed quickly and efficiently, so you can get back to sailing in no time.
Additionally, we offer services to remove lines from propellers and retrieve lost objects. If you've lost something and can pinpoint its exact location, we can help recover it. We recommend acting as quickly as possible; the longer you wait, the lower the chances of us finding it.
Please note that due to poor visibility and currents, there is no guarantee that lost items will be successfully recovered.
Matthias Osthoff2025-09-30 Alex and the whole team were fantastically helpful and I can highly recommend them! On my solo sailing trip back to the UK my propeller dropped off (after 26k nautical miles - but still, it shouldn't happen!) at the Ijmuiden entrance. I had to get into the marina under sail in Force 6 winds - thankfully the team at Boatcaptain was at hand to catch the lines. Despite their busy schedule they went above and beyond to diagnose the issue, source a new propeller, organize a lift out and get everything done so I was back on my way within two days. Thanks a lot! Keith Hurley2025-08-19 Very helpful people. Knowledgeable and helped organise repairs on short notice Sven Kleinschmidt2025-08-01 A fishernet in the prop… The diver cleared it off. Fast service at a fair price. Thank you! Teun Schroeder2025-07-31 Snel en vakkundig geholpen aan een nieuw schroefaslager midden in het hoogseizoen. Top! SV Raireva2025-07-05 Great service and attitude. Easy and fast communication via email and WhatsApp. Highly recommended Patrick Gaspersz2025-06-19 Goed vriendelijk geholpen. Goede communicatie over voortgang en prijs. Rob Voorhaar2025-04-15 Ben voor de tweede keer er uit geweest. Ben wederom snel en efficiënt geholpen met fijn en kundig advies Juergen N2025-04-05 I found the "Boatcaptian" team to be very reliable and competent! They replaced the saildrive seal on my boat, serviced the saildrive, and coated the saildrive and propeller with Propspeed. I personally polished the hull with Renskib (the polish is very good!) and renewed the antifouling. So if you need any service or repairs, ask the Boatcaptian team. The costs are absolutely fair, too! Alessandro Maccagnan2024-12-06 Outstanding professional, sailor and teacher. I got my first very sail boat from Alex and the advise and help to sail out was priceless Eva S2024-09-25 We can highly recommend „Boatcaptain“. The seawater pump on our engine was broken and we got a replacement within half an hour plus a cup of tea. We hadn't expected that on a Saturday morning. Super friendly service, what more could you want? The yacht service is located directly at the Seaport Marina IJmuiden and is easy to reach from there. Highly recommended, even if we hope we won't have a problem like this again soon. Greetings from SY Mana Google waardering: 5.0 van 5,
