Featured Customer Testimonial
Very happy with the brand new TideRider boat lift! I’m a charter boat captain in the Florida Keys and my family owns Bud n’ Mary’s Marina. We are serious about taking care of our equipment… This time we upgraded and went with the 9000lb [TideRider] lift and the design of the new lift and the added tanks lift the boat and frame completely out of the water! The lift also has wireless FOBS and a phone app to control it, so you can lift it out of the water when you use the boat and not have to leave it in the water at all… Installation went smooth and Jeremy has always been quick to respond if I’ve had any questions. It makes me sleep well at night knowing my livelihood is sitting on Tidewater Marine Products equipment, and makes dropping the boats in a breeze.”

“Absolutely love the TideRider boat lift. Love it even more now that the tide sliders are installed, they are awesome. The solar guide post lights really look cool at night. Tidewater Marine Products was great. Love working with a company that’s family owned, who know the products they represent very well and have great service. Highly recommend.”

“I lost a conventional piling boat lift and dock during hurricane Ian. I searched for a few months for a better solution for replacement. At the recommendation of Tidewater I opted for the Wave Armor pontoon port and dock. Installation was excellent. The design of the port provides and easy on/off docking that is far better than the cable lift system. Both Tidewater and Wave Armor were extremely supportive throughout purchase, installation, and follow-up.”

Dawn Hawley | Hawley Construction | SW Florida
“We could not be happier with our lift and the service provided by the team at Tidewater. It’s family operated and it’s refreshing to receive genuine care during the install and learning process. We recently moved the lift to our new home and once again the team delivered on all of our needs. The move was easy and it’s awesome we were able to simply move the lift with no hassle. Thank you, Jeremy and team!”

Frequently Asked Questions
How much water is needed?
This depends on which capacity lift you require but typically 30″ plus the draft of your boat.
What is the lift structure made out of?
The structure is a marine grade aluminum. All hardware is stainless steel. While the boat is lifted and at rest there are no metallic components in the water.
What are the power source options?
The standard power source is a simple 110 volt. No hardwiring is required. The lift can even be run off of a small generator, boat inverter, or solar set up with inverter.
What happens if I purchase a larger boat in the future?
As your boating needs change, capacity and bunking can adapt to your boat! No need to buy an entire new lift.
How much water is needed?
This depends on which capacity lift you require but typically 30″ plus the draft of your boat.
What happens during a hurricane?
Because the lift floats, it has no limit to its ability to ride the surge. When prepared properly history shows that floating lifts tend to survive storms better than structural lifts.
How is the lift secured?
With floating docks the lift can just be tied in with lines. On fixed docks it can be secured with lines or we offer a flexible mooring system that eliminates the need for lines.
Does the lift require a permit?
In the state of Florida, House Bill 847 was passed July 2023 eliminating the ability for local governments to require a permit in most floating lift setups. The lift still falls under easement laws.
