Boat Lift Installation for Key Biscayne waterfront properties
We work with boatlift manufacturers to provide the boat or PWC lift that suits your needs best, on a new Key Biscayne dock or one you already have. Langley Coastal specializes in 4-8 post cradle lifts from 6,000 lb to 60,000 lb capacity, and elevator lifts from 6,000 lb to 25,000 lb.
Which lift fits comes down to the boat, the dock it mounts to and the water it sits in. On a new dock the lift pilings are driven with the dock pilings; on an existing dock the pilings are what decide whether the lift mounts to them or new ones go in beside it.
We also provide maintenance and repair for all lift systems, and the pilings a lift stands on are our own trade. More about boat lift installation.

What customers say about our boat lift installation
Finally decided to get some long overdue repairs for my dock & boatlift. I had been putting off repairs after poor experiences with other local companies in the past, but Langley Coastal really blew my expectations out of the water. Extremely professional & quality workers at every step of the project, from initial quoting all the way to final inspection. Would recommend to anyone looking for a company with integrity to get their coastal projects done right.
