We deliver commercial grade, modular floating dock systems engineered for superior performance and accessibility

Our floating docks are designed for marinas, parks, rowing centers, and waterfront facilities that demand superior durability and performance.

Built with marine-grade materials and innovative design, our floating docks adapt to fluctuating water levels, heavy use, and harsh conditions while requiring virtually no maintenance—making them the ideal choice for parks, commercial marinas, adaptive programs, and private waterfronts.

DESIGNING YOUR Floating Dock

- Standard Commercial Floating Dock - ADA / Accessible Floating Dock - Adaptive Floating Dock - Rowing Dock - Floating Fishing Pier - Courtesy Dock - Cantilevered Deck / Floating Dock System - Concrete Deck Panel Floating Dock (50 Con Series) - Marina / Commercial Floating Dock - Paddle Center / Rental Operations Dock 

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.

All of our waterfront projects can be configured with adaptive buildouts, products and accessories providing ADA accessibility for all bodies and abilities.

STRUCTURAL HARDWARE- Integrated piano hinge connection between dock sections- Commercial support arms for steep or flood-prone banks- Stiff arm assembly for sites with current or boat wake- Piling guides — interior (recessed) or exterior (surface-mounted)- Foundation connection bracket- Precast concrete blocks for support arm foundations- Dock mending plate for structural repairs or section joining- Threshold strip at all dock transitions- Rub rail along dock perimeter- Corner bumpers at all dock corners- Rubber dock bumper system along vessel-side perimeter- Adjustable cleats for boat tie-up

HANDRAIL OPTIONS- 42" aluminum mesh panel handrail- ADA-compliant continuous perimeter handrail with toe kick- Intermediate wheelchair height handrail- Open aluminum picket rail infill- Custom powder coat finish on handrail system- Life ring and safety equipment mounting hardware

ACCESS CONTROL- Lockable gate with ADA-compliant hardware

ADAPTIVE ADD-ONS- Adaptive Kayak Launch with Adaptive Kit

SEASONAL OPTIONS- Skid rails for seasonal removal and reinstallation- Seasonal removal hardware kit

Venture Outdoors Paddle Center We partnered with Venture Outdoors to design and manufacture the floating infrastructure for the new Venture Outdoors Paddle Center along the Allegheny River. The facility includes a dedicated adaptive launch area for paddlers in wheelchairs, making it one of the most inclusive commercial paddle centers in the country. Phase two will add a storage building, classroom, and community event space to establish it as a full-service paddlesports hub for the city. Learn more Scope: Multiple floating docks 50x100’, 4x kayak launch areas with one Adaptive kayak launch 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. Learn more Scope: 6x15’ 6x25’ (5) 8x25‘ (2) 8x15’ floating docks. 8x80 dual-rail gangway, 960 sq ft covered fishing pier Allentown Waterfront Floating Dock The Allentown Waterfront development needed water access along the Lehigh River, but the steep shoreline and seasonal flood conditions made a standard dock system unworkable at this site, so we designed a custom floating dock system with heavy-duty support arms that allow the structure to rise and fall with the river. An 80-ft gangway connects the bank to four floating dock sections spanning 80 feet of river frontage, with a Clip-A-Launch and on-deck kayak storage built in. Learn more Scope: 80-ft. gangway, 4 x 8' x 20' floating dock sections, Clip-A-Launch, kayak storage racks, support arms, dock bumpers, cleats North Coventry Township Floating Dock A previous dock system washed away by flooding, and a replacement was needed that could withstand future flood conditions while remaining ADA-compliant and not projecting too far into the river. The gangway runs parallel to the riverbank, connected to a concrete-supported cantilevered aluminum deck, with supplemental flotation at the gangway's lower end to match the dock's freeboard. The two 8' x 20' floating dock sections connect via piano hinge to allow the system to rise and fall with the river. Learn more Scope: Cantilevered aluminum deck, concrete foundation, 54' custom gangway, two 8' x 20' floating dock, rubber dock bumpers, cleats Featured Floating Dock Projects → Venture Outdoors Paddle Center → Chester Frost, Adaptive Access for TN Riverfront → Allentown Waterfront Floating Dock → North Coventry Township Floating Dock SELECT A PROJECT BELOW TO VIEW Allentown Waterfront, Allentown, PA North Coventry Township, PA-3

How we make it adaptive

Adaptive add-ons for every site parameter and project

MEETING ADA STANDARDS WITH KEY ADAPTIVE FEATURES

ADA features include a compliant slope aluminum gangway as well as lowrise thresholds. The piers, floating docks, and gangways have a continuous handrail along the perimeter, consistent with ADA requirements. Aluminum floating docks for BoardSafe accessible piers are engineered to provide greater stability on the water.

ADAPTIVE ADD-ONS

- Adaptive boarding kit (full kit: transition bench, roll cage, overhead grab bar, hand straps, pull-out cockpit seat, Instructional signage with QR code)

- ADA-compliant gangway upgrade (compliant slope, dual handrail, toe kick)

- Intermediate ADA-height grab bar at entry and exit points
