We build dock systems from our catalog of products

Custom dock configurations for evey waterfront project

Our modular dock system allows you to configure our entire catalog of products into a fully customized water access solution tailored to your exact needs & site dimensions.

Every BoardSafe dock is built on the same modular aluminum extrusion system that runs across our entire product line. That means gangways, finger docks, and accessories all share the same frame geometry, connection hardware, and decking system — so components integrate cleanly, layouts can be reconfigured as a program grows, and replacements are straightforward without retooling the whole system.

Product Categories

Our commercial aluminum floating docks serve as the structural foundation of every combination system, providing the modular platform from which kayak launches, fishing piers, and courtesy boat access all connect and operate.

Our adaptive and accessible kayak launches integrate directly into the floating dock frame — either as a dedicated launch section or as a Clip-A-Launch bolt-on — giving paddlers of all abilities a safe, purpose-built entry point to the water within the same system footprint.

Our ADA-compliant aluminum gangways serve as the accessible spine of the combination system, connecting the shore to the floating dock with a continuous, code-compliant path that every other component — launch, pier, or kiosk — depends on for land-side access.

When a site requires users to cross terrain, a channel, or an existing structure to reach the water, our aluminum pedestrian bridges extend the accessible approach and close the gap between the trailhead or parking area and the combination dock system.

HIVE Paddlesports' self-serve kayak and paddle board rental kiosks integrate directly into the combination dock system, turning a BoardSafe floating dock into a full-service paddling destination where users can rent, launch, and return their vessel from a single accessible location.

Chattahoochee Combination Dock This combination dock system showcases BoardSafe’s ability to engineer one-of-a-kind, long-lasting solutions for complex, specialized projects. We partnered with the Trust for Public Land (TPL) to create river access points along the unique terrain of the Chattahoochee River. What set this project apart was the complex slope of the riverbank and the potential for flooding and strong currents. Learn more Scope: 80’ gangway, floating dock, diverter dock, landing dock, stiff arm assembly, accessible kayak launch + adaptive kit Texas Rowing Center Austin We partnered on the major improvement of the Texas Rowing Center - Austin's most popular stand-up paddleboard (SUP), kayak, canoe, and rowing destination on Ladybird Lake. We engineered and manufactured the 15,000 sq. ft. main dock as well as two 3,000 sq. ft. buildings located directly on the dock. The building houses the racing sculls and equipment on our custom manufactured aluminum racking system. Learn more Scope: 50'x 300' (15,000 sq ft) main dock, two 3,000 sq ft dock buildings, aluminum rowing shell racking system Project-guided engineering by our team allows the gangway to travel and pivot safely, facilitating stable access to this one-of-a-kind restaurant. Boston Tallship Gangway 245-foot tall ship, Caledonia has been repurposed as a floating restaurant on Boston Harbor. We engineered and installed a gangway to provide access for this unique water-access dining experience. Tidal changes between 9ft and 12ft had to be taken into consideration during the design process Learn more Scope: Custom pivoting aluminum gangway on railroad track, commercial foot traffic load capacity Mutual Riverfront Park Dual Kayak Launch Mutual Riverfront Park in Buffalo, New York, sits along the Buffalo River adjacent to historic Elevator Alley, one of the city's most recognized industrial landmarks. We connected a custom floating dock system directly to the existing seawall and installed two kayak launches to serve a wider range of users. One launch includes an adaptive boarding kit for inclusive access, while the second serves general paddlers, improving capacity and user flow. Learn more Scope: Custom floating dock system, dual kayak launch configuration, one adaptive launch with boarding kit Chester Frost Full Waterfront Buildout After storm damage to its existing facilities, we designed and installed a full waterfront improvement that replaced what was lost and raised the bar for recreation accessibility. The system includes an 80-ft. ADA-compliant gangway, two courtesy docks for boaters, and a 960-sq.-ft. covered accessible fishing pier. Together they make Chester Frost one of the few public parks in Tennessee to offer this level of combined boat access and fishing infrastructure in a single location.
