Heavy Lift & Crane Service

From the outside, a haul-out looks straightforward.

But there’s a lot happening behind the scenes.

Load balance, sling placement, hull pressure points — all of it needs to be carefully managed, especially with larger vessels.

The equipment matters, but just as important is the team operating it.

It’s one of those processes that should feel routine — but only because it’s being handled correctly.

Why Bottom Paint Matters

Marine growth on a hull creates drag, increases fuel consumption, and can damage underwater surfaces over time.

During bottom paint service we typically:

• haul the vessel
• hydro-wash the hull
• sand and prepare surfaces
• apply multiple coats of anti-fouling paint

Slip Visit Diagnostics

Not every issue requires hauling a vessel out of the water.

Dana Point Shipyard offers slip visit diagnostics, where one of our technicians visits your vessel directly in its slip to troubleshoot systems, inspect components, and determine the best next step for service.

What Happens During a Haul-Out Inspection

A haul-out allows technicians to inspect the parts of your vessel that normally stay below the waterline.

During a typical haul-out inspection we evaluate:

• Hull condition and bottom paint
• Propellers and shafts
• Through-hulls and underwater fittings
• Zinc anodes and corrosion protection

Catching issues early often prevents costly repairs later.
