South Florida's waterways demand more than a generic dock build. The tidal movement, saltwater corrosion, boat traffic, and hurricane exposure here require experience, the right materials, and a contractor who knows what lasts and what doesn't. JKT Marine has been building docks on South Florida's most demanding waterways for over 25 years. We know exactly what works here.
Custom Dock & Pier Construction Services Throughout South Florida
Every dock JKT Marine builds is designed specifically for your property, your waterway, and how you use the water. No cookie-cutter builds — we engineer the right dock for your site.
🪵 Fixed Docks & Piers
Traditional fixed dock construction in marine-grade composite, pressure-treated timber, and aluminum. Designed for your specific water depth, tidal range, and load requirements throughout South Florida.
🌊 Floating Docks
Authorized Wave Armor dealer and installer. Floating docks move with the tide and are ideal for properties with significant tidal variation. Modular systems that can be reconfigured as your needs change.
🏖️ T-Docks & L-Docks
Multi-slip dock configurations for properties with multiple vessels or that need extended berthing space. We design the layout for maximum usability and minimum wake exposure.
⚓ Boat Lift Integration
New docks built dock and lift together as one engineered system. Proper piling placement, load distribution, and electrical rough-in for lifts handled from the start — not bolted on after.
🏢 Commercial Marina Docks
Commercial dock and marina construction for marinas, yacht clubs, restaurants, and waterfront businesses throughout South Florida. All FDEP, Army Corps, and county permits handled.
🔧 Dock Addition & Expansion
Extending an existing dock, adding a slip, or reconfiguring your current layout. We assess your existing structure and design additions that integrate seamlessly with what's already there.
Marine-Grade Materials Built for South Florida's Saltwater Environment
Every material JKT Marine uses is selected specifically for performance in South Florida's saltwater marine environment. We never use residential-grade materials on marine projects.
Composite Decking
Trex, TimberTech, and other premium marine composite decking. Won't rot, won't splinter, won't require repainting. The most popular choice for South Florida dock builds for good reason.
Pressure-Treated Timber
Marine-grade pressure-treated lumber for applications where composite isn't the right fit. Properly specified and installed, treated timber performs well in South Florida's waterways.
Aluminum Framing
Saltwater-rated aluminum for dock frames and structural components where corrosion resistance is critical. Lightweight, strong, and maintenance-free in marine environments.
Stainless Hardware
316 marine-grade stainless steel fasteners and hardware throughout. No exceptions. Standard hardware corrodes rapidly in South Florida's saltwater — we never use it on marine projects.

Frequently Asked Questions — Dock Construction South Florida
How much does it cost to build a dock in South Florida?
Dock costs in South Florida typically range from $15,000 for a basic residential dock up to $150,000+ for large premium builds on the Intracoastal. The biggest factors are size, materials, configuration, and whether a boat lift is included. JKT Marine provides free detailed on-site estimates with no obligation.
Do I need a permit to build a dock in South Florida?
Yes — all dock and pier construction in South Florida requires permits from your county building department and in most cases review from SFWMD, FDEP, and potentially the Army Corps of Engineers. JKT Marine handles every permit filing and agency interaction from start to finish. You never deal with a government agency directly.
How long does it take to build a dock in South Florida?
Physical construction of most residential docks takes 3–10 days on site. Permitting through Palm Beach or Broward County typically runs 6–12 weeks before construction can begin. We start your permit immediately after you confirm so you're not waiting any longer than necessary.
What is the best decking material for a South Florida dock?
For most South Florida applications, premium composite decking is the best long-term choice — it won't rot, won't splinter, requires no painting or sealing, and holds up in saltwater indefinitely. Pressure-treated timber is a cost-effective alternative for the right applications. We'll recommend the right material for your specific project and budget.
Can you build a dock on the Intracoastal Waterway?
Yes — we build docks on the Intracoastal Waterway throughout South Florida. Intracoastal projects require additional permits and engineering for wave action and boat wake, but we handle all of it. Our team has extensive experience building durable structures in open-water conditions.
Do you build commercial docks and marina facilities?
Yes — JKT Marine builds commercial dock and marina facilities for marinas, yacht clubs, restaurants, and waterfront businesses throughout South Florida. All FDEP, Army Corps, and county permits handled by our team.
