TideRider floating boat lift

The lift that keeps your boat high and dry

TideRider is a low profile floating lift with full length walkways and a marine grade frame. It keeps your boat out of the water without blocking your view.

Instead of heavy overhead structure, the lift rides with the water level. It works with fixed or floating docks and is well suited to the fluctuating water levels or storm conditions that occur in Georgia and North Florida.

  • Capacities from about six thousand to thirty five thousand pounds, site verified
  • Full length walkways for boarding, cleaning, and service
  • Marine grade aluminum frame with stainless hardware and brass nuts
  • Low profile tanks to keep long views over the water
  • With the lift raised, the alluminum frame remains out of the water.

Why this lift works on tidal water

Designed for any water including: rivers, creeks, and lakes in Georgia and North Florida.

🌊Works with fluctuating water

The lift floats with the water level instead of fighting it. This is a major advantage on creeks, rivers and lakes with fluctuating water.

🏗️Less structure and permitting

Floating lifts often require less heavy structure than traditional cable lifts. That can mean less permitting and less impact to your dock.

💰Adaptable and relocatable

Lift capacity and bunking can be adjusted as your boats change. If you want to move the lift, it can be towed behind a vessel or put on a trailer.

🏗️ Full length walkways

Walk the full length of the boat for easy boarding, cleaning, and service. You do not have to step over beams or squeeze between tight posts.

⚙️Low profile views

No tall frames or big gantries blocking your view. Tanks sit low in the water so you still see sky and horizon over the boat.

Drive on, lift, and go. Less time tying lines or cleaning growth off the hull and more time enjoying the water.
Protected investment
Keeping the hull, running gear, and finish out of constant submersion helps resale and reduces repair surprises.

Short FAQ

What is a floating boat lift? ▼
A floating boat lift uses a cushion of air to raise and lower your boat. The lift floats and rides with the water level, which works well on any waters flucutating or fixed where some dock structures have limitations caused by wear and tear.
How much water depth do I need? ▼
Depth depends on lift size and hull draft, but many installs work with roughly thirty inches of water plus your boat draft. On your site review we confirm your depth and bottom conditions before final sizing.
Can the lift handle my dock and boat? ▼
Most fixed and floating docks can be adapted for a TideRider lift. We look at your dock, pilings, water depth, and exposure, then recommend a configuration and capacity for your vessel.

For questions about permitting or special conditions, send photos and we can talk through local rules for your area.
