Eivisub - Trabajos subacuáticos y limpieza de cascos en Ibiza y Formentera

Eivisub is an underwater services company based in Sa Carroca (Sant Jordi de ses Salines) that operates in Ibiza and Formentera. Its professional and certified divers handle everything from cleaning hulls and propellers while the vessel is afloat to underwater repairs, salvage operations, eco-friendly anchoring, and port maintenance. They have been in the industry for more than 10 years, with more than 579 jobs completed, more than 200 boats rescued, and more than 239,000 hours underwater, according to their own data.

Hull and Propeller Cleaning Without Dry-Docking

They clean the hull and propellers underwater to remove fouling, save fuel, and restore the vessel’s performance. It’s a quick service that doesn’t require dry docking, which is useful during peak season when taking the vessel out of the water is expensive and difficult to schedule.

Underwater Repairs and Inspections

• Underwater repairs performed by certified divers, including underwater welding.
• ROV inspections: state-of-the-art underwater vehicles that record HD video and even collect samples at great depths.
• Inspections of ports and marinas without interrupting their operations.

Refloating and Towing, 24/7

If a boat sinks or drifts, they offer a 24-hour emergency service:

1. They assess the vessel’s stability and watertightness.
2. They seal any leaks.
3. They control buoyancy using high-capacity motor pumps and lifting balloons.
4. They tow the vessel to the nearest port or dry dock.

They respond as quickly as possible to minimize damage and prevent spills.

Eco-Friendly Anchoring

They install eco-friendly anchoring systems with buoys that protect Posidonia: these prevent anchors from dragging across the seagrass beds. They include impact studies and annual maintenance to ensure the anchorage is safe year-round.

Ports, Buoy Markings, and Hydraulic Works

Service	What They Do
Port Maintenance	Repair of ports and mooring systems, seabed cleaning, and dredging

They also collaborate with the municipalities of Ibiza on beach cleanup.

How often should the hull be cleaned?

In the warm waters of the Pitiusas, the hull and propeller get dirty quickly in the summer. As a general industry guideline:

• During the season: one in-water cleaning every one to three months, depending on usage.
• Before a long voyage: check the propeller and water intakes.
• If the boat loses speed or uses more fuel: this is usually a sign of a dirty hull or propeller.

In-water cleaning complements antifouling, but does not replace it.

What to Provide When Requesting a Service

For a hull cleaning: length, type of boat, and port or anchorage where it is located. For a breakdown or rescue: exact location, condition of the boat (leaking, list, adrift), and a contact phone number. They have three phone lines, so in an emergency, it’s better to call directly than to text.
