Boat lifts on the Longboat Key waterfront
Bayside lifts on Longboat Key face open water across Sarasota Bay, which means more wind, chop and spray than a sheltered inland canal. That puts extra wear on cables, guide posts and bunks. Canal lifts on the island have it a little easier but still need regular saltwater maintenance.
