Do permits vary across St. Petersburg?

Yes—permits are often faster in protected canals and stricter near open Bay. We guide you through both.

How does sun exposure affect St. Pete docks?

Our UV-resistant decks and optional canopies protect against St. Pete’s year-round sun.

Can I add a pontoon port in St. Pete?

Yes—pontoon and tritoon ports integrate easily. Many St. Pete homeowners add them later without rebuild.

How fast is a dock installed in St. Pete?

Most installs are completed in one day after permits, depending on site and tide access.

Floating dock and port modules for St. Pete bays and canals — Modular sections for Tampa Bay & Boca Ciega shorelines—clean, expand-ready layouts.

Why St. Petersburg homeowners choose floating docks

Made for tide, wake & boat traffic

Floating platforms follow bay tides and stabilize in canal wake. We spec hinge/pipe-sleeve kits for tight seawalls and Intracoastal turns.

Salt-smart & low-upkeep

UV-stable, foam-filled shells with corrosion-resistant hardware. Rinse and relax—no rot or repainting.

Expand later

Start simple; add a PWC, boat, or pontoon port and a canopy when you’re ready—no tear-out.

Year-round boating in St. Pete — and why floating docks help

Hot, sunny seasons: long summers with daily water time. Keep hulls dry between trips to cut fouling and speed up launch.
Afternoon storms: summer pop-ups & sea-breeze winds are normal. Floating docks rise with short surges and self-level.
Mild winters: protected canals/bays = frequent winter boating; ports reduce cold-water marine growth on hulls.
Hurricane season: Jun–Nov. Modular layouts + proper anchoring let you prep fast and recover quickly after high water.

Add a ProTect’R™ canopy for UV/rain coverage at Snell Isle, Coquina Key, and Boca Ciega Bay homes.

Seagrass & slow zones
