Boat Lift Specialists
If you need boat lift installation or repair in Miami, we install and service 4-piling, elevator, and PWC lifts with saltwater-rated motors, cables, and structural hardware.
Boat lifts in Miami face the same enemies as everything else on the waterfront: salt corrosion, UV, and storm loading.
The most common residential configuration. Four pilings support an overhead cradle that lifts the vessel out of the water. We install pilings to engineered depth and rig the cradle with saltwater-rated motor, gearbox, cable, and bunks.
Mount to the seawall or dock. Suitable where waterway width or shoreline geometry rules out 4-piling. We engineer the structural mount to the wall or dock framing and install the lift mechanism.
Lower-capacity lifts for personal watercraft and small vessels. Often dock-mounted, with smaller motors and lighter framing.
Motor replacement, cable replacement, bunk replacement, piling repair, cradle restoration. Motor and cable replacement is the most common service call: saltwater shortens both relative to freshwater service.
Why Miami Owners Choose Us
Motors with sealed housings, stainless steel cables, marine-grade bunks. Cheaper freshwater components fail in 18 to 36 months in Miami service.
Saltwater spec on every installVessel weight changes with fuel, gear, and live well loading. We size lift capacity for the realistic loaded weight, not the dry catalog number.
Loaded-vessel sizing standardBundling boat lift work with seawall or dock projects saves substantial mobilization and crew costs. We coordinate the scope and schedule.
Bundle savings 20 to 35 percentTypical Miami residential boat lift installation runs 7,500 to 22,000 dollars complete depending on capacity and configuration.
Hurricane prep is a real consideration for Miami boat lifts. Many insurance policies require lifts to be inspected and serviced annually, and to have storm-securing protocols in place. Our installations come with a written storm-prep document so owners know how to secure the cradle and vessel ahead of a named storm.
"Wall started leaning the day after a bad storm and I was worried it would take out the pool deck. Called their emergency line at 9 pm. They had a crew there the next morning with stabilization equipment. Saved us a five-figure problem."Patricia C.Cutler Bay · Emergency seawall repair
"Replaced our 25-year-old dock with composite decking and new concrete pilings. They coordinated the work with our seawall cap restoration and saved us about 20 percent by bundling. Dock is solid, hardware is stainless throughout."Daniel S.Coconut Grove · Dock and seawall bundle
"Existing cap was past repair. Their team demoed it, did a full tieback inspection while we had access, and poured a new cap with corrosion-inhibitor concrete. Two helical anchors added at no extra cost when they found a corroded tieback rod."Carlos V.Bal Harbour · Seawall cap replacement
Structural components (pilings, cradle, bunks) typically 15 to 25 years. Motors and cables 8 to 12 years with annual maintenance. Saltwater shortens motor and cable life relative to freshwater by 30 to 50 percent.
Yes, in most cases. Boat lifts on residential dockage typically require a building permit and sometimes DERM and USACE review depending on water body and habitat sensitivity. We handle the submittals.
