MARATHON, FLORIDA
Boat Lift Repair Marathon
Boat lift repair in Marathon keeps every part of the lift except the boat guides within 5 feet above the dock’s highest walking surface or the seawall cap (Marathon LDR Sec. 104.64).
We connect Marathon owners with licensed marine contractors who service lifts.
Free inspection and a written scope.
Covered lifts
Covered lifts stay under 20 feet above mean high water, have no side walls and are not allowed over protected marine resources.
Why it matters
Tie-downs and permits
Docks with lifts or davits need tie-down cleats. Federal, state and water management district permits come before the city building permit for any rebuild.
Lift pilings stay within 8.5 feet of the dock walking surface, and davits within 8.5 feet of the dock. Covered lifts anywhere in the city, including the canals around Boot Key Harbor, may not have side walls.
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
