PALM COAST, FLORIDA

Boat Lift Installation Palm Coast

Boat lift installation in Palm Coast needs a waiver on lots with less than 60 feet of canal frontage (LDC Sec. 4.01.05).

Licensed Permits handled Florida waterfront

We put Palm Coast owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who plan lifts to fit.

Free consultation, a written scope, no obligation.

Roof length

A lift roof can be 26 feet long for the first 60 feet of frontage, plus 4 feet for each extra 5 feet, up to 46 feet.

Mooring

Boats on the canals moor parallel to the seawall, lifts included.

Lifts must fit within the dock width of 12 or 16 feet, set by canal width. The City of Palm Coast building department reviews the plans.
