DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA

Boat Lift Installation Daytona Beach

Boat lift installation in Daytona Beach fits inside the city’s two-slip limit for single-family lots and the 20 foot side setback (LDC Sec. 5.3.C.7).

Licensed Permits handled Florida waterfront

We put Daytona Beach owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who plan the lift and permits.

Free consultation, a written scope, no obligation.

Approval order

Army Corps and FDEP first, then the City of Daytona Beach permit, then Volusia County’s manatee review with a site plan showing slips and moorings.

Height

Roofs over the lift stay within 18 feet of mean high water and stay open-sided.

Size the lift to loaded weight with fuel and gear aboard, and check depth at low tide before choosing the boat.

Why it matters

Floating lifts

Floating lifts up to 500 square feet with any platform are exempt from state permits under Florida Statute 403.813(1)(s).

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

What a free inspection includes

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
