Boat lift repair & installation in Venice
Venice homes along the Intracoastal Waterway, the bays and the canals in and around the island all need lifts that hold up to salt water. Send a request for repair, maintenance or a new lift and get a free written estimate.
Boat lifts on the Venice waterfront
Venice-area lifts sit on a mix of Intracoastal frontage, sheltered bays and residential canals. Boat traffic on the Intracoastal adds wake to the usual wind and tide, which can rock boats on their bunks and wear guide posts. Many lifts in the area are on older docks and due for cable or motor work.

Venice boat lift FAQ
Do you serve Nokomis and South Venice?
Requests from nearby communities are welcome. Choose “Venice” or “Other” in the form and add your town in the notes.
My lift creeps down after I raise it. What’s wrong?
Creeping usually points to a worn gearbox or brake. See boat lift repair and stop using the lift with people aboard until it’s checked.
