Custom Boat Dock Installation in Madeira Beach
Take advantage of your waterfront home in Madeira Beach and install a Priority Marine boat dock today. No matter if you have a dinghy or a yacht, it is no use to you stored in a marina. Your vessel was an investment, and with our help, you will be able to go for a cruise in it anytime you wish. But don’t think this backyard addition needs to be just for storage, you can completely customize it with various sitting options, lighting, and maybe even a grill! Before beginning construction, one of our technicians will help you decide on the type and materials you would like to use, as well as any additional features you would like to add.
Styles of Boat Docks
Often times when our clients picture a boat dock in their mind, they imagine a stereotypical, straight, wooden design. However, depending on your needs, there are plenty of different options we can build. The two main styles we construct at Priority Marine Construction in Clearwater are floating and stationary.
Floating Design
A floating design is ideal for channels where the water level fluctuates heavily. This way, it doesn’t matter if it is a high or low tide; your watercraft will be at the perfect height and won’t sustain any damage. At Priority Marine, we can create this in a variety of shapes, including an “L,” “T,” or “U” silhouette each constructed from materials that are resistant to saltwater, gas, and oil.
Stationary Design
A stationary boat dock, also known as” fixed,” is best for areas of high traffic and can withstand very rough conditions. Waves will flow right underneath it, instead of causing it to become unsteady. You can also add permanent bumpers to the sides to ensure your watercraft isn’t damaged. A stationary design is the best choice if you plan to add a sitting area.
While stationery designs have a variety of building materials for you to choose from, wood is most commonly used when building boat docks in Madeira Beach. Remember though that the material you use needs to be able to withstand all weather conditions, be impervious to bugs and rot, and hold up well in the water. The Brazilian “Ipe” hardwood is the most common kind we use as it is 5 times stronger than Oak, has a fire rating similar to concrete, and a lifespan of 35 years. At Priority Marine Construction, we also offer Southern Pine Lumber that provides the strength needed to weather our heavy Clearwater storms.
No matter what material you choose, our boat docks will feature the highest quality of construction services to ensure they will do their job while still looking great.
Additional Add-ons
At Priority Marine Construction, we want to design you a boat dock that is everything you dreamed of and more, which is why we offer so many customization options. Just some of our great add-ons include:
- Boatlift. If you want to keep your hull shiny and clean, while still ensuring your watercraft is protected, a lift is the way to go. There are a variety of options, from the basic aluminum to a more high-tech, no-profile lift option. If you need to store your main vessel alongside a pair of jet skis, we can even install multiple lifts.
- Seating and entertainment. This backyard additional doesn’t just have to function as a way to access your ship; it can become a great hang-out spot for those beautiful Tampa Bay nights. For your enjoyment, we can add seating options, a fire pit, a spot for a grill or bar, and even a covered gazebo.
- Lights. In addition to the Clearwater legally mandated lights we will install on your new boat dock, we can add some fun options too! You can also have a lit walkway leading down from your house constructed, so guests always know where to go.
- Bumpers. As mentioned before, we can add permanent bumpers to the sides to ensure there are no damages while docking.
- Multiple cleats. If you have friends that will travel to your house by water, we will be sure to include plenty of places where they can safely dock their vessels to come on land.
