Frequently Asked Questions — Stuart & Martin County
How much does a new dock cost in Stuart?
Dock costs in Stuart and Martin County typically range from $15,000 to $100,000+ depending on size, materials, and complexity. Sportfishing dock setups with heavy-duty lifts and fuel systems can run higher. JKT Marine provides free, detailed on-site estimates with no obligation.
Are there special permit requirements along the St. Lucie River?

Absolutely. Many seawalls along Martin County's rivers and canals are aging and showing stress from tidal movement, boat wakes, and storm surge.
