Boat Lift Repair West Palm Beach

Boat lift repair in West Palm Beach follows Sec. 94-313: lifts must be engineer designed to the electrical code and the manufacturer’s specifications.

Licensed Permits handled Florida waterfront

We connect West Palm Beach owners with licensed marine contractors who service lifts on the lagoon.

Free inspection and a written scope.

Placement

Lifts sit in the middle third of the lot like the dock, and the boat on them may not reach past the side setback lines.

Permits for lift work

Structural lift work goes through the City of West Palm Beach building department with the same DEP, Army Corps or SFWMD approval a dock needs. On the Lake Worth Lagoon, lifts are one of the few things allowed above the bulkhead top.

Why it matters

Dolphins

Dolphin piles need a 5 inch reflective band. Replace a missing one when the lift is serviced.

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