Salt & Pearl maintenance plans keep boats in Knysna clean on a regular schedule: weekly, fortnightly or monthly. Each visit includes a wash-down, a stainless wipe-down and a photo update. Plans cost from R30 per foot per visit, lower than a one-off clean.
What each visit includes
- Fresh-water wash-down of deck, cockpit and hull sides above the waterline.
- Stainless wipe-down to stop tea staining before it starts.
- Quick check for anything that looks out of place, like loose covers or water in the cockpit, reported straight to you.
- Photo update on WhatsApp after every visit.
Why regular cleaning costs less
Salt and grime are easy to remove when they're fresh and hard to remove once they've built up. Boats cleaned regularly need less work each time, which is why plan visits cost less than one-off cleans, and why the boat looks better all year.

Plan visits start from R30 per foot, with a minimum of R750 per visit. Typical ranges per visit:
