A machine for cleaning boat hulls in the water, with a U-shaped structure (2), submerged in the water and fastened to a jetty or dock, that incorporates rollers (4), fastened to lateral frames (3), driven by motors (5), grouped with mobility and flotation in parallel rows (6), in order to slide perpendicularly along the length of the hull, in one direction or the other, adapting to its shape. The lateral frames (3) are mobile in the vertical sense. The rollers (4) are incorporated in floating cages. The structure (2) has a vertical movement mechanism (18) to adapt it to the draft and/or with a horizontal movement mechanism (21) to move it under the boat or it is fixed, with the boat being moved by a winch.
