Floatation Systems

Nichol Marine builds and repairs floatation systems for docks across Vancouver Island. We work with custom systems that best meet your waterfront needs.

Many waterfront owners would agree that the quality of access provided for boating, fishing, swimming and other forms of recreation, has the biggest impact on their experience of living on the water.

Let us use our flotation systems to create your floating dock.

Site conditions such as wind, waves, weather, size of boats, and types of use all play an important role in determining the best design for your site. Our experience in assessing these considerations when designing and building floating systems ensures that we match the right design for you.

A few of the benefits of residential docks include easy recreational access to water, convenient and secure moorage, and increased property value. As well as providing secure moorage:

  • Docks offer a convenient vantage point to enjoy fishing. Don’t worry about having a place to put your fishing equipment, ice chest and chair. Sit in your lawn chair and be lulled by the gentle rolling movements of the lake.
  • Docks create a fun swimming platform and place lie down and dry off in the sun. Some shore lines are too rocky for young children to comfortably reach the water. If you have one of our floating docks attached to our ramp, you and your kids have easy access to the water.
  • Docks add real estate to your property and can serve as an extra space for entertaining guests and having picnics.

Float docks allow for many diverse types of dock design, and we look forward to helping you find the best type for your needs. Contact us for more information about our flotation systems and how we can create one for you.
