A free-standing lift with nothing permanent to attach

Air-Dock is a free-standing boat lift system, meaning there are no permanent attachments to your dock or boat slip. That’s especially important when you’re working with marina dock masters or renting slip space.

Air-Dock works with floating and fixed docks. All you need is four corner points to tie to, and you are ready to go. Don’t have four corner tie-down points? We can help with a customizable floating frame kit.
