Sarasota, Sarasota County
Docks built for Sarasota water
Sarasota waterfront wraps the bay and the barrier islands — bayfront homes, key cottages, and Intracoastal frontage all with different seawall and dock demands.
From Sarasota Bay to Intracoastal Waterway, a Sarasota dock has to fit the water — depth, current, boat size, and county code. Our vetted local partners build fixed and piling docks, wrap-arounds, and multi-slip layouts tuned to Sarasota.
What we build
What we build in Sarasota
From simple piling docks to multi-slip wrap-arounds — the full range of residential dock work, delivered by vetted Sarasota-area crews.
Fixed & piling docks
Traditional dock builds engineered for water depth, tide swing, and boat size.
Wrap-around & multi-slip docks
Multi-slip and wrap-around layouts for multiple vessels or wide shorelines.
Composite, wood & aluminum decking
Choose the decking that fits your budget, look, and maintenance appetite.
Gangways & finger piers
Articulated gangways and finger piers for tricky access or tidal water.
Power, water & lighting
Shore power, freshwater, and low-voltage lighting run by licensed partners.
Lifts integrated with the dock
Boat and PWC lifts sized to the dock and coordinated in one project.
Decking options
Composite, wood, or aluminum
Composite is the low-maintenance default for Sarasota — salt-tough and no splinters. Wood is cheapest up front and refinishable. Aluminum stays cooler underfoot in Florida sun. Your inspection walks through the tradeoffs for your specific dock.
