About Antifouling, Painting & Polishing
Al Hoot Alazraq provides Antifouling, Painting & Polishing for boats, yachts and ships in Dubai, UAE.
In the Gulf, marine growth builds up quickly on an unprotected hull, adding drag, raising fuel use and hiding damage. A well-prepared antifouling system is the most cost-effective protection a vessel can have.
Our painters prepare the hull properly before any coating goes on: washing, sanding, filling and priming where needed. We apply antifouling suited to how often you use the vessel, then finish the topsides with painting and machine polishing so she looks as good above the waterline as she is protected below it.

Questions owners ask
How often does a boat need antifouling in Dubai?
Because Gulf water is warm, many boats and yachts are re-antifouled about once a year. The right interval depends on the coating, how often the vessel moves and where it is berthed, so we advise after an inspection.
Do you prepare the hull before applying antifouling?
Yes. Good preparation is what makes antifouling last: we wash, sand, repair and prime as needed before the new coating goes on.
Can you polish my yacht's hull and superstructure too?
Yes. Our team machine-polishes gelcoat and painted surfaces to restore gloss, and can repaint or touch up areas where polishing alone is not enough.
Do I need to haul out for antifouling?
Yes. Antifouling is applied with the vessel out of the water, which we arrange at Dubai Maritime City as part of the job.
How much does antifouling cost in Dubai?
The price depends on hull size, the condition of the existing coating, how much preparation is needed and the antifouling system you choose. We inspect the hull and quote before any work starts.
