Floating Docks & Fingers

Whether you’re a local marina or resident, no dock is complete without a floating dock attachment. Charleston Dock Doctors constructs and installs custom floating docks and boarding fingers, so you get right to the water level no matter what that level might be. Large floating platforms make amazing entertaining areas, and long fingers give every captain full access to their vessel. Ask about accessories like ladders, hinged gangways, bumper rails and corners, and benches.
