ISLAMORADA, FLORIDA
Boat Lift Repair Islamorada
Boat lift repair in Islamorada on a covered lift keeps the roof no more than 12 feet above grade, over a cut-in slip on a manmade canal, with no deck on top (Village Code Sec. 30-1542).
We connect Islamorada owners with licensed marine contractors who service lifts.
Free inspection and a written scope.
Placement
Covered lifts may not sit over mangroves, seagrass or hardbottom, and the roof may reach 2 feet into the setback. Dock, vessel, lift and piles together stay within 25% of the navigable portion of a manmade waterbody.
Why it matters
Tie-downs
Docks with lifts or davits need cleats to tie the boat down. Work waterward of mean high water needs Army Corps and DEP approval.
Replacing a lift needs a village permit with Army Corps and DEP approval for work over the water. Vessels may not tie up to mangroves along Florida Bay or canal shores (Sec. 30-1542).
