System (10) for cleaning a structure arranged in a body of water (12). The system (10) includes: a vehicle (14) operable to move through the water (12) and clean the structure; a tether (16) connectable between the vehicle (14) and a fixed position; a deployment mechanism (18) securable relative to the structure and configured to move the vehicle (14) into, and out of, the water (12); and a processing unit (20) configured to communicate with the vehicle (14) and the deployment mechanism (18). The processing unit (20) is configured to execute a repeating cleaning schedule to cause the deployment mechanism (18) to operate to move the vehicle (14) into the water (12), the vehicle (14) to operate to clean at least a portion of the structure, and the mechanism (18) to operate to remove the vehicle (14) from the water.
