Boat Lift Installation Melbourne
Boat lift installation in Melbourne fits inside a covered slip of up to 500 square feet, or 750 square feet with the platform (zoning code Sec. 2(F), Appendix B(2)).
We put Melbourne owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who design and permit lifts.
Free consultation, a written scope, no obligation.
One covered slip
Each lot gets one covered slip or pavilion and one dock. Plan the lift where the cover will go.

Why it matters
Approvals
SJRWMD, the Army Corps and FDEP sign off first, then the City of Melbourne building department. Floating lifts up to 500 square feet with any platform are state exempt.
Lift height stays under 14 feet, or 20 feet on the Indian River Lagoon.
What a free inspection includes
A contractor comes to your property, looks at the structure above and below the waterline where needed, and tells you what is actually happening.
You get a written scope and estimate. No obligation, no trip fee.
- On-site assessment of the structure and surrounding soil
- Photos and a plain-English explanation of the problem
- Written estimate with scope and materials
- Repair versus replacement guidance where both are options
