Why choose Floating Dock Services for your next haul-out?
Time saving: the Floating Dock in Westhaven Marina is a very quick, efficient way to haul out your boat. You don't need to wait for the travel lift, or for a boat yard to prepare a space for you, or build a cradle for your boat. The Floating Dock is ideal for busy boat owners who want to get the job done quickly.
Better for your boat: the Floating Dock distributes the weight of your boat more evenly than a travel lift; there is less stress on the hull. Yachts rest on their keel, and launches sit on wooden benches that raise them 700-800mm off the dock's floor.
Full Hull Access: No Travel lift strap marks! Uninterrupted access to your hull, we have the ability to check and replace your anodes on site, which most travel lift/hardstands are unable to offer.
Good for the environment: the run off from water blasting your boat and from anti-fouling is controlled and collected in sediment tanks where it's filtered. Once the run-off has been filtered, it's clean enough to be disposed of in the sewerage system. We are all about looking after what we love!
Good for your bank account: our prices are competitive already, with honest and upfront pricing and no hidden costs. To save even more, you can pre-pay 5 haul-outs and get a 6th for free. Best of all, there's no expiry date. Contact us to start saving on your haul-outs.
Supporting our Community: over the years Floating Dock Services has sponsored many yacht races and clubs to ensure the clubs can continue delivering high quality events for our customers to enjoy! We're also here to help you win the race!
