Boat Lift Installation for Palm Beach waterfront properties
We work with boatlift manufacturers to provide the boat or PWC lift that suits your needs best, on a new Palm Beach 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.
Boat Lifts in Palm Beach: what's specific here
Lake Worth Inlet (Palm Beach Inlet): the town's north boundary and the Port of Palm Beach entrance; completed 1917, dredged to 35 ft in 1967 and maintained at that depth since, with a sand-transfer plant pumping sand from the north to the south side [en.wikipedia.org] How much room a boat has off the dock is part of what decides between a cradle lift and an elevator lift along the seawall.
Lakeside Park: beside the Town Marina; its seawall was replaced in 2021 with the cap raised about 2 ft to elevation 5.3 ft [palmbeachcivic.org]
Permits: Town of Palm Beach Building Official (Ch. 62 Marine Structures) + FDEP + USACE. Sec. 62-74: one pier or landing dock per lot; a marginal dock may not exceed 30% of the parcel's seawall width and may project up to 6 ft; docks may project at most 6 ft west of the U.S. [library.municode.com]
Along the east (Palm Beach) side of Lake Worth, all waters within 300 ft of shore from the Lake Worth Inlet south to 1 mi below Peanut Island are idle speed year-round; from there south to the Lantana Ave bridge a 300-ft shoreline slow zone applies (FAC 68C-22.009) [law.cornell.edu] That governs how a barge is staged in Palm Beach when a lift piling has to be driven.

Will a lift fit my Palm Beach dock?
The pilings decide it. If the existing pilings can carry a loaded cradle the lift mounts to them; if not, new lift pilings go in beside the dock. We work with boatlift manufacturers to match the lift to the boat.
