Our divers pull boat props underwater in Palm Beach, at the slip or the dock where the boat sits. The prop goes to F&J for repair, then we put it back on.
A prop can usually come off with the boat still in its slip. Our diver takes yours off where the boat is kept, on the island's lagoon shore. It goes to F&J, the prop shop we use, and goes back on when the repair is done.
Lake Worth Inlet has two shallow spots that NOAA writes up. The entrance channel tends to shoal along the north jetty. East of Peanut Island, a reef beside the channel has about 4 feet of water over it. If your prop touched either one, tell us which, and we can look at it in the water first.
For a boat kept at the Town of Palm Beach Marina, we need the dock and the slip. The docks are Peruvian, Australian, Brazilian and Royal Palm, and the marina has gated access.
NOAA's Coast Pilot says the north quarter of the Lake Worth Inlet entrance channel tends to shoal along the north jetty. For depths, it sends boaters to its electronic charts and to Army Corps of Engineers surveys. If your prop touched bottom on that side of the channel, tell us when you call.
NOAA Coast Pilot 4, Chapter 10, paragraph 238, November 8, 2026 edition
NOAA describes a reef that runs about 300 yards east from Peanut Island, about 25 feet north of the improved channel. The least depth over it is about 4 feet. If that is where the prop touched, we can look at it in the water and pull it if it needs the shop.
NOAA Coast Pilot 4, Chapter 10, paragraph 242, November 8, 2026 edition
The Town of Palm Beach Marina names four docks: Peruvian, Australian, Brazilian and Royal Palm. Royal Palm is the farthest north and is a side-tie dock. The marina has gated access. Give us the dock and the slip, and ask the marina office how an outside diver gets in.
Tell us where it touched, where the boat is kept and what feels different. NOAA writes up two shallow spots at Lake Worth Inlet: the shoal along the north jetty and the reef east of Peanut Island. Either one is worth naming. Our diver can look at the prop in the water at your Palm Beach slip.
Give us the dock name and the slip number. The Town of Palm Beach Marina has four docks: Peruvian, Australian, Brazilian and Royal Palm, which is the farthest north. Access is gated, so ask the marina office what an outside diver needs to get in. For a private dock on the lagoon, we only need to hear where it is.
Yes. Most props come off underwater, so the boat stays tied up at its Palm Beach slip or dock. Our diver pulls the prop and brings it up. When the repair is done, the diver goes back down and fits it. Tell us the size of the boat and the prop when you call.
F&J repairs the prop. That is the shop we send props to. Our divers pull the prop in the water at your Palm Beach slip, and we put it back on after the shop work. If the damage came from the north jetty shoal or the Peanut Island reef, say so. It helps to pass along what the prop hit.
Yes. We are licensed and insured, and our dive crew works out of Fort Lauderdale. We cover the coast from Jupiter to Miami, Palm Beach included. If your boat is behind the gate at the Town of Palm Beach Marina, check with the marina office about access before we come.
