Bottom Paint Regulations Are Tightening. Solstice SeaPen Dry Dock Skips Them.
Bottom paint exists for one reason: boats that sit in the water 24/7 grow things on their hulls. Paint fights that growth. But the rules around it keep getting stricter.
What if your hull never sat in the water at all?
That is what the Solstice SeaPen Dry Dock does. It keeps your boat floating on the water, completely dry, so there is nothing to paint.
Bottom Paint Is Under More Pressure Every Year
Haul out, sand, repaint, splash. For most boaters, that cycle repeats every year or two.
And it's getting harder to justify. The EPA already limits how much copper bottom paint can leak into the water. Washington has banned one paint chemical and is still studying copper. Paint makers are moving toward copper-free options.
Copper paint is still legal. But the direction is clear: more rules, more scrutiny, more cost.
Don't Chase the Rules. Skip the Paint.
It's not a better paint. It's the reason you stop painting.
Every paint rule solves the same problem: toxic coatings on hulls that sit in the water.
The Solstice SeaPen Dry Dock solves it a different way. Your hull stays dry, so nothing grows on it. No growth means no paint, and no paint means no new rules to keep up with.
Who It Helps
Boat owners. No more haul-outs, sanding or repainting. A clean, unpainted hull also holds its value better when it's time to sell.
Marinas and HOAs. Less copper in your water, plus a premium amenity for slip holders. The Solstice SeaPen Dry Dock is approved at marinas and communities where lifts are banned.
Waterfront homeowners. The water off your dock is where your family swims. Keep your boat clean without leaching paint into it.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
No bottom paint is needed while your boat is docked in it. The hull floats on the water, completely dry, so marine growth can’t take hold.

No. Nothing lifts your boat. The water is pumped out from around the hull, so your boat stays at water level, floating on the water but dry.
