Boat Lift Repair Key Biscayne
Boat lift repair in Key Biscayne has a height rule: the bottom of a boat on a lift may sit no more than 6 inches above mean high water (Sec. 30-100).
We connect Village owners with licensed marine contractors who service lifts on the harbor and the bay.
Free inspection and a written scope.
Setbacks
Neither the lift nor its arm may reach into the side setback, and no part of the boat may encroach, bow pulpit and engines included.
Bay lifts
Lifts on the bayfront sit inside the 60 degree triangle the Village uses to place docks and lifts. A moved lift must stay inside it.
Why it matters
County permit
Replacing a lift is Miami-Dade DERM Class I work, usually on the short form.

You get a written scope and estimate. No obligation, no trip fee.
- On-site assessment of the structure and surrounding soil
