Boat Lift Installation
The Right Lift, Installed Right
Keeping your boat out of the water when not in use is the single most effective thing you can do to protect your vessel in South Florida's saltwater environment.
We install boat lift systems sized for your vessel, dock, and waterfront conditions across Broward and Palm Beach counties. We assess your boat's weight and dimensions, evaluate your dock structure, water depth, and tidal range, then install the right lift at the right capacity, correctly anchored to your dock with all required electrical connections and a full load test before handover. Every installation includes permitting, full operational training, and a factory warranty backed by our service team.

02
Specify
We recommend the right lift type, capacity (always at least 20% over loaded vessel weight), and mounting configuration for your exact situation.
03
Permit
We secure any required marine construction permits and coordinate with HOA or marina management if applicable.
04
Install
Our certified marine technicians install the lift system, mount all hardware, run electrical connections, and perform a full-load proof test.

We walk you through safe operation, program your remote, and schedule your first annual service to keep the warranty valid.
FAQ
Boat Lift Installation Questions & Answers
The right lift depends on your boat's weight, beam, and draft, plus your dock configuration, water depth, and tidal range. Elevator-style four-post lifts work for most residential docks and handle boats up to 50,000 lbs. Floating lifts are ideal for extreme tidal variation or shallow water. Boathouse lifts protect vessels in covered slips. During your free consultation, we measure your vessel and evaluate your site to recommend the perfect system.
Always choose a lift rated at least 20% above your vessel's fully loaded weight, including fuel, water, gear, and passengers. If your boat weighs 6,000 lbs dry, you need a minimum 8,000 lb rated lift. The safety margin protects the equipment, extends cable and motor life, and gives you flexibility if you upgrade your vessel. We calculate the exact required capacity for every installation.
In most South Florida municipalities, yes. New boat lift installation is considered a marine structure modification and typically requires local building and environmental permits. We assess your specific requirements during the design phase and manage all permit applications and inspections as part of every installation project.
Most residential boat lift installations take 1 to 3 days once materials arrive on site. Floating lifts can often be installed in a single day. Boathouse lifts or projects requiring piling modifications may take 3 to 5 days. The permitting phase, which we manage, adds 2 to 8 weeks depending on your municipality.
Standard residential boat lifts typically require a dedicated 120V or 240V circuit, depending on motor size and lift capacity. Larger commercial lifts may require three-phase power. We assess your dock's existing electrical service during the site visit and include any required electrical panel upgrades or new circuit runs in our project scope and pricing.
