NAPLES, FLORIDA

Boat Lift Repair Naples

Boat lift repair in Naples that replaces or moves the lift needs a Type II permit from the city, and the lift counts toward the 25% of waterway width a dock may use (City Code Secs. 16-52 and 56-93).

Licensed Permits handled Florida waterfront

We connect Naples owners with licensed marine contractors who service lifts on Naples Bay and the canals.

Free inspection and a written scope.

Shelters over slips

A boat shelter over a recessed slip may rise no more than 15 feet above the average seawall height, and canvas or vinyl roofs are not allowed (Sec. 56-53).

Why it matters

Where lifts sit

In Aqualane Shores a lift may reach the lesser of 25 feet or 25% of the width. In Golden Shores and Oyster Bay, wide canals keep a 32 foot channel at the centerline open.

Ian put 7.1 feet NAVD88 of water at the Gordon River Bridge. Lifts that sat in it should have their motors, gearboxes and cables opened up, even if they still run.

A free inspection tells you which one you are looking at.
