Floating Docks

Compared to commercially available plastic dock floats, 55 gallon drums are much cheaper because they are made in enormous quantities and are already shipped all over the country (reducing shipping costs). In addition, quality used drums are usually available for $15 each or less.

Permits a Problem?

All our floating docks can be registered as U.S. Coast Guard Approved boats and fully insurable boats. If you are having trouble getting permits to install a dock, find out if you can legally park a boat in front of your cabin. If so, licensing one of our docks as a boat could be just the break you have been looking for!

Transoms are available for all of our docks in sizes from 10HP to 60HP. A small outboard can be used to move the dock several hundred yards or several miles.
