Floating Dock Services

The Floating Dock, located at Westhaven Marina in Auckland, has been providing efficient and eco-friendly boat haul-out services since 1979. As a family-owned and operated business, their friendly and knowledgeable staff are dedicated to assisting with vessel maintenance and offering expert advice. They cater to all types of yachts and launches, with a lifting capacity of up to 20 tons, a maximum length of 18 meters, and a maximum beam of 4.9 meters. Their services are designed to be quick and convenient, minimizing stress on the boat's hull by distributing weight evenly, unlike traditional travel lifts. They also prioritize environmental responsibility by collecting and filtering runoff from water blasting and anti-fouling processes before disposal. Additionally, Floating Dock Services actively supports the marine community by sponsoring local yacht races and clubs.
