DOCK BOXES

Expanding on your dock accessories means you'll need storage for them, as well as other supplies. A lockable dock box provides you with a safe place to keep everything you don't need on the boat: toys, fishing lines, personal items, and more. Certain styles of dock box can also function as a bench or a stair, adding accessibility to your dock or boat.

DOCK LADDERS

A dock ladder enhances safety at the dock. If someone accidentally falls into water or needs a lift, a ladder will be a crucial feature to have. It's also an efficient means of accessing your large vessel.

Our aluminum dock ladders come in different sizes and designs. Probably the most common on docks is a simple lift ladder—its design allows you to pull it from the water while not in use to protect it from erosion or barnacles. We also carry straight ladders for a more static option.

DOCK LINES

Dock lines are strong ropes you can use to keep your watercraft in its place at the dock temporarily. They are best when made of nylon due to it being strong and durable. The style and braid of the rope will determine its strength and the craft it's best suited to use for.

If you’re in need of an upgrade for your dock lines, we carry line supports to protect the line and extend its lifetime. Available in black or white composite plastic or an aluminum finish, our dock line supports work with any line and braiding.

DOCK LIGHTING

Dock lighting serves two purposes - safety and beauty. When docking at night, they light up the way. Even without using them for docking, they create a pleasant visual effect for the dock.

A deep glow underwater light will illuminate your space from below the surface, creating a fantastic ambient glow. For lighting on shore, you won't go wrong with our variety of piling lights, which offer bright lighting for your dock. Our dock lights collection is all about safety and beautifying your dock.

FENDERS

Dock fenders are cushions attached to the sides of seawalls or dock pilings in order to keep boats from scraping against the marina fixtures. They’re important installations to keep seacraft from bumping up against land and scraping the hull, and allow for safe docking.

We are proud to carry Fend-All and Fend-Off dock fenders—constructed from a solid PVC plastic that’s designed to be the most shock absorbent option. Depending on the size of your boat and the type of protection it warrants, you can select from a range of sizes to best suit your needs.

MOORING WHIPS

Lastly, we have mooring whips. Sometimes natural processes or strong waves from passing boat traffic can rock your boat, causing it to hit nearby objects. If you tie your vessel to mooring whips, you can effectively reduce the risk of damage. The work of the whips is to hold your vessel a distance away from the dock's edge or the seaside so that it remains in its place at the dock. Used in tandem with dock fenders, your vessel will be well protected.

FAQs

WHAT SHOULD BE USED TO PROTECT THE BOAT FROM THE DOCK?

To protect your boat from potential damage when docking, fenders or bumpers are highly recommended. These cushioned barriers create a buffer between the boat and dock, absorbing any impact and preventing scratches or dents.

WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO DOCK YOUR BOAT SAFELY?

For safe docking, approach slowly at an angle, using fenders to prevent contact. Secure lines to cleats and use dock lines in a way that allows for natural movement with tides and currents, ensuring your boat remains stable.

WHAT CAN I STORE IN A DOCK BOX?

Dock boxes are perfect for storing boating essentials such as life jackets, fenders, ropes, cleaning supplies, and fishing gear. They help keep your dock organized and protect equipment from the elements.
