SEA RANCH LAKES, FLORIDA

Boat Lift Installation Sea Ranch Lakes

Boat lift installation in Sea Ranch Lakes needs an Intracoastal lot, Army Corps approval and written approval from the Village Committee.

Licensed Permits handled Florida waterfront

We put Village owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who take a lift through those steps.

Free consultation, a written scope, no obligation.

Interior lots

Village code allows no dock, pier or mooring post on interior-water lots (Sec. 6.01.05), which leaves nothing to mount a lift on. Confirm with the Village before buying equipment.

Approvals before installation

Three sign-offs: the Army Corps, the Village Committee in writing, and the Broward County license, which the county requires before any work in its waters.

Why it matters

Sizing for the Intracoastal

Size the lift to loaded weight with fuel and gear. On open water, add margin for the boat moving on its bunks in wake.
