Big tidal swing
A fixed dock that sits too high at low tide and too low at high tide for comfortable, safe access.
Floating Docks
Floating Docks Built for Changing Water
Where water levels swing with the tide, a floating dock keeps access steady. We build and repair floating structures and connect them cleanly to fixed docks and the shore.
What this solves
Problems we help with
Difficult boarding
Getting on and off the boat or the dock is awkward or unsafe at parts of the tide cycle.
An aging float system
Waterlogged floats, worn connections, or gangways that no longer sit right.
Capabilities
What we build and handle
- New floating dock construction
- Gangways and transition ramps
- Anchoring and pile-guide systems
- Integration with fixed docks and bulkheads
- Floating dock repair and float replacement

Site and coastal considerations
Water-level variation
The amount the water rises and falls at your property drives the design — freeboard, ramp length, and how the float is held in place.
Access and transition
A gangway has to work at both ends of the tide. The connection to land or a fixed dock is as important as the float itself.
Suitability and limits
Floating docks are a strong fit for some sites and not others. We will tell you when a fixed structure is the better choice.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a floating dock right for my property?
It depends on your water-level variation, exposure, and how you use the water. Floating docks are excellent where the tide swings widely, but they are not the right answer everywhere. We help you decide.
Can a floating dock connect to my existing fixed dock?
Yes. A common setup is a fixed pier or dock with a gangway down to a floating section, which we can design and build as an integrated structure.
Do you repair existing floating docks?
Yes, including float replacement, gangway repair, and anchoring or guide-pile work.
