MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA
Boat Lift Repair Miami Beach
Boat lift repair in Miami Beach goes through Miami-Dade DERM’s Class I permit, which lists boatlifts, davits and mooring piles, and then the city’s marine structure permit.
We connect Miami Beach owners with licensed marine contractors who service lifts on the bay and the canals.
Free inspection and a written scope.
Floating lifts
Floating lifts and platforms up to 500 square feet combined are exempt from state permits under Florida Statute 403.813(1)(s), or 200 square feet in Outstanding Florida Waters.
City rules
The City of Miami Beach building department reviews structural lift work, with a marine inspector review under Sec. 66-114. Boats on Indian Creek and Biscayne Bay are tied bow and stern.
Why it matters
Salt and tide
Lifts on Indian Creek and the bay sit in salt water that rises with king tides. Open the gearbox and check the cable strands every year.
