Boat Lift Repair Coconut Grove
Boat lift repair in Coconut Grove sits on open Biscayne Bay, where wind and wake keep a cradle moving.
We connect Grove owners with licensed marine contractors who service bay lifts.
Free inspection and a written scope.
Permits for structural work
A new lift or pilings qualify for Miami-Dade DERM’s short-form Class I permit within 25% of the waterway, then the City of Miami building permit.
City rules
City of Miami code Sec. 29-83 requires a building permit for any waterfront improvement, lifts included. On Biscayne Bay, wear is faster than in a canal.

Why it matters
Wear on open water
Cables, sheaves and bunks wear faster on bay frontage than in a canal. Check all three every year.
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
