Covered Boat Lift, St. Lucie River – Port St. Lucie, FL

---

This St. Lucie River homeowner wanted the boat ready to go and out of the Florida sun when it isn't. We built a covered boat lift and new dock in Port St. Lucie, in St. Lucie County, with room for the family's jet skis right alongside.

The centerpiece is a 32,000 lb Hurricane high-speed boat lift under a standing-seam metal roof. The roof keeps sun, salt and summer rain off the boat, and the high-speed drive means less waiting at the dock before a day on the river. Next to it we installed a 7,000 lb high-speed double jet ski lift with a decked top, so the skis come up out of the water and the platform doubles as usable dock space.

The dock is decked in TimberTech Advanced PVC boards in English Walnut, set with hidden fasteners for a clean, screw-free surface. Advanced PVC has no wood fibers, so it won't rot or splinter, and it holds its color in hard Treasure Coast sun. The roof is standing-seam metal, a durable choice for salt air and storm season.

Shoreline Engineering, one of our Trusted Partners, drew permit-ready plans. We handled the permitting, and the right-of-way and Environmental Resource Permit approvals were in hand before we set the first pile. Because the same team designs and builds, plan changes don't stall the job.
