Whether you require a modular block dry dock, float brick jet ski platform, premium boat lift system, we design and install systems built specifically for Gold Coast waterfront conditions, including canal homes, riverfront properties, and marina berths.

If you’re unsure which system is right for your property, we can assess your pontoon structure, buoyancy, tidal movement, and vessel type and recommend the most suitable long-term solution.

2. Do you service the Gold Coast?

Yes. We primarily service Gold Coast waterfront homes, including canal properties, riverfront homes, and marina berths but we travel when required from Sunshine Coast to Ballina. 

We understand:

• Gold Coast tidal movement
• Saltwater corrosion challenges
• Council and marina requirements
• Pontoon buoyancy considerations

We are also available to travel when required for specialised modular block dry dock and float brick installations.

3. What is a modular block dry dock or float brick system?

A modular block dry dock, also known as a float brick dry dock system, is a highly adaptable floating platform constructed from interlocking modular float bricks.

These modular float brick systems:

• Lift your jet ski or boat completely out of the water
• Reduce marine growth and corrosion
• Require minimal maintenance
• Can be reconfigured as needed
• Are ideal for jet ski dry dock applications on the Gold Coast

Our modular block dry dock systems are engineered for strength, longevity, and clean waterfront aesthetics.

4. What is a tilt roller system and how does it work?

A tilt roller system is a pontoon mounted aluminium cradle fabricated through our in-house marine aluminium fabrication on the Gold Coast.

It allows you to winch your boat or jet ski completely out of the water, where it sits dry above the waterline.

Benefits include:

• Reduced marine growth
• Improved fuel economy (clean hull performance)
• Lower maintenance costs
• Increased resale value

Each system is custom built to suit your boat weight, hull shape, and pontoon layout.

5. Do I need a winch?

Not always.

We offer multiple configurations:

• Manual winch systems
• 12V electric winch with battery and solar charging
• 240V electric winch systems
• Winch back launching systems
• Submersible drive on modular block dry dock systems (no winch required)

The right solution depends on vessel weight, access, pontoon structure, and owner preference.

6. What are the benefits of dry storage?

Whether using a modular block dry dock, float brick system, tilt roller, or AirDock boat lift system, dry storage provides major advantages:

• Reduces antifouling requirements
• Increases fuel efficiency
• Minimises corrosion
• Protects your outboard
• Reduces long term maintenance costs
• Keeps your boat cleaner
• Increases resale value

For many Gold Coast waterfront homeowners, a jet ski dry dock or boat lift system pays for itself over time.

7. Can your systems be retrofitted to my existing pontoon?

In most cases, yes.

Our modular block dry dock systems, float brick platforms, and aluminium docking systems are designed to integrate with existing pontoons and marina berths without major structural modification.

We assess:

• Pontoon width
• Float capacity
• Structural integrity
• Access points
• Tidal range

If reinforcement or float upgrades are required, we advise before proceeding.

8. How do I know if my pontoon has enough buoyancy?

Buoyancy depends on:

• Float size and rating
• Condition of existing pontoon floats
• Additional weight from the docking system
• Vessel weight

As an experienced Gold Coast dock builder, we calculate required buoyancy and determine whether float upgrades are necessary for modular block dry dock or boat lift system installation.

9. What is an AirDock system?

An AirDock installation is a premium boat lift system that uses a patented air chamber design to raise your boat completely out of the water.

It attaches to your pontoon or marina berth without major structural alteration and provides full walkaround access for cleaning and maintenance.

An AirDock boat lift system is ideal for:

• Larger vessels
• Owners wanting a premium aesthetic
• Long term dry storage protection

We provide professional AirDock installation across the Gold Coast.

10. Are your systems made from marine grade aluminium?

Yes.

We specialise in marine aluminium fabrication on the Gold Coast, using high quality marine-grade aluminium designed for harsh coastal environments.

Unlike galvanised steel systems, aluminium provides superior corrosion resistance and long-term durability in saltwater conditions.

Our modular block dry dock and float brick systems are also designed specifically for marine durability.

11. How long does installation take?

Most modular block dry dock and float brick installations are completed within 1 hour to 1 day, depending on:

• Access
• Tidal conditions
• System complexity
• Whether float upgrades are required

Custom aluminium fabrication projects may require lead time prior to installation.

12. Do I need council approval?

In many cases, installing a modular block dry dock or float brick system onto an existing approved pontoon does not require additional council approval.

However, regulations can vary depending on your property and waterway. We guide you through any necessary compliance requirements.

13. Do you offer custom solutions?

Yes.

No two waterfront properties are the same.

We design:

• Custom modular block dry dock layouts
• Float brick jet ski platforms
• Boat lift systems
• Aluminium tilt roller systems
• Slipway and cradle solutions

If a standard solution won’t work, we engineer one that will.
