Lighthouse Point's canals deserve better
We Know These Canals — Every Tide, Every Turn
Lighthouse Point is a tight, well-kept waterfront community with some of the most beautiful canal-front homes in Broward County. The canal system here is generally calmer than open Intracoastal frontage — but "calmer" doesn't mean you can cut corners. The tidal movement near Hillsboro Inlet still affects water levels through the whole neighborhood, and close canal widths mean your dock has to be sized precisely.
There's also something a lot of Lighthouse Point homeowners don't think about until they're ready to install a lift: seawall age. A significant portion of Lighthouse Point's residential seawalls were built in the 1970s and 1980s. A PWC lift bolted to an aging, compromised seawall is a problem waiting to happen. We assess that before we ever recommend a product.

Common questions
Lighthouse Point Jet Ski Dock FAQ
Do I need a permit for a jet ski dock in Lighthouse Point?
Yes — all PWC dock and lift work requires Broward County permits, and depending on your location, SFWMD or Army Corps review. JKT Marine files everything and manages all agency contacts from start to finish. You don't call anyone — we do.
My seawall is older — can I still install a jet ski lift?
Possibly, yes. Many older Lighthouse Point seawalls are structurally sound and handle a lift fine. Some need cap repair or minor reinforcement first. We assess it for free and give you an honest answer before recommending anything.
How long does installation take?
Physical installation is one to two days. Broward County permitting typically runs 4–8 weeks. We file immediately after your contract is signed to keep that timeline as short as possible.
Can I add a jet ski dock without replacing my whole dock?
Yes — very common in Lighthouse Point. We attach PWC platforms to your existing structure and match the decking material and style so it looks like it was always there.
