Innovation that Gives Dock Blocks the Edge
At Dock Blocks, we didn’t invent the dock, we just made it better.
Unlike traditional floating docks that rely on corner connections, our system connects at the center, creating a more rigid and reliable structure. Strengthening bars along the perimeter add extra reinforcement, ensuring docks stand up to the elements and last for years.

What types of floating docks and boat lifts does Dock Blocks TM offer?

Are your floating docks hurricane-resistant?
Yes — our patented interlocking design and flexible mooring systems are built to withstand storm surge and wave impact far better than traditional wood or aluminum docks. Many of our customers along the Gulf Coast (Destin, Panama City, Apalachicola) report minimal or no damage after major storms.

Most small systems (for Jet Skis or small boats) can be installed in a single day, while larger marina or community docks typically take 2–5 days depending on site conditions. We coordinate local delivery and installation across all Panhandle counties.
Do you offer installation in military or government marinas?
Absolutely. Dock Blocks™ is a verified U.S. government supplier, and our systems are used by U.S. Army MWR, Coast Guard, and local sheriff marine units throughout the region — from NAS Pensacola to Eglin AFB and Tyndall AFB.

Additional Regional FAQs

Yes — we can use poles, cables, or deadweight anchors depending on the depth and bottom
conditions. Our team will recommend the best mooring method for your site.
Do you offer financing or payment plans?
Yes — flexible financing options are available through approved partners. Many Panhandle homeowners choose this to spread out installation costs.
Do you work with marinas or developers?
Absolutely. We’ve completed projects for municipal marinas, HOAs, boat clubs, and developers from Destin Harbor to Carrabelle.

Absolutely. Dock Blocks TM frequently work with HOAs and coastal communities along Scenic Highway 30A, Gulf Breeze, Navarre Beach, and WaterColor, providing both residential docks and shared-access floating swim platforms that comply with neighborhood standards.
Are Dock Blocks™ docks safe for brackish areas like East Bay or Escambia Bay?
Yes — Dock Blocks™ are made of UV-stabilized high-density polyethylene (HDPE), resistant to salt, sun, and brackish water. They perform exceptionally well in East Bay, Escambia Bay, and Blackwater River, where tidal salinity can vary daily.
Can you install floating docks for fishing or kayaking on inland lakes like Lake Seminole or Lake Talquin?
Definitely. Our low-profile platforms are perfect for kayak launches, fishing docks, and swim platforms on freshwater bodies across Lake Talquin, Lake Seminole, Deer Point Lake, and the Apalachicola River system.

Can you connect Dock Blocks™ to existing wooden or concrete docks?
Yes. We use galvanized or stainless-steel transition hardware to connect Dock Blocks™ platforms to fixed or floating structures. This is popular around Panama City Beach, Mexico Beach, and Carrabelle where customers want to add floating extensions or Jet Ski lifts next to older docks.

They are. Dock Blocks™ systems are trusted by Coast Guard, Sheriff’s Marine Units, and Fire-Rescue Departments in the Panhandle and Emerald Coast. We offer rescue training platforms, patrol boat lifts, and temporary response docks and are ready to serve agencies like Okaloosa, Walton, and Bay Counties.
