DUNEDIN, FLORIDA

Boat Lift Repair Dunedin

Boat lift repair in Dunedin falls under dock rules, because Pinellas County code defines a boat lift as part of the dock.

Licensed Permits handled Florida waterfront

We put Dunedin owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who service lifts on the sound and the city canals.

Free inspection and a written scope.

Repair or relocation

A lift repaired in place keeps its spot. A lift that moves has to fit the same center-third or 50-foot placement as the dock.

Structural lift work on St. Joseph Sound or a city canal is approved by the city, then released to Pinellas County Water and Navigation for its permit.

Adding a lift for a personal watercraft

County code does not count a personal watercraft lift as a slip (Sec. 58-555). Adding one for a jet ski does not use up either of your two boat spaces.

Why it matters

What fails on the sound

Open water means more motion on the cradle and more wear on cables, sheaves and bunks. An annual service that checks all three costs far less than a cable failure with a boat aboard.

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

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
