BOCA RATON, FLORIDA
Dock Builders Boca Raton
Dock builders in Boca Raton keep docks short: 6 feet from the seawall on waterways under 100 feet wide, and 8 feet on wider ones (Sec. 22-58).
We connect Boca Raton owners with licensed marine contractors who design within those limits.
Free consultation and a written scope.
Engineer, setback, ladders
Docks must be designed by a Florida professional engineer, with plans showing the waterway cross-section, soil type and piling embedment (Sec. 22-64). Side setback is 10 feet.
A ladder reaches 2 feet below mean low water, and docks over 50 feet need two.
Why it matters
Where finger piers are allowed
Only in artificial coves, the Hillsboro and C-15 canals, the Intracoastal, and Lake Boca Raton, Lake Wyman and Lake Rogers. They stay within 6 feet wide and 15% of the waterway, never over 60 feet.
No docks in the Boca Raton Inlet.
