Boat lift repair & installation in Sarasota
From bayfront homes on Sarasota Bay to canal lots along the creeks that feed it, Sarasota has a lot of docks and a lot of lifts working hard in salt water. Request repair, maintenance or a new lift and a local technician will follow up with a free written estimate.
Boat lifts on the Sarasota waterfront
Sarasota’s waterfront mixes open bay frontage, sheltered canals and residential creeks. Lifts here deal with salt spray, afternoon storms and, on the open bay, wind and chop. Elevator lifts on seawalls and four-post lifts on dock pilings are both common, and many lifts on older docks are due for new cables, motors or bunks.

Sarasota boat lift FAQ
Do you service lifts on the barrier islands as well as the mainland?
Yes. Requests from mainland Sarasota and the nearby keys are welcome. See also Siesta Key and Longboat Key.
How soon can someone look at a stuck lift?
Timing depends on the season and parts. Mark your request as urgent in the notes and say whether the boat is on the lift.
