Protect Your Watercraft with Durable, Site-Specific Lift Systems
If you own a boat, jet ski, or personal watercraft in coastal North Carolina, a lift system is a necessity. At Logan Marine, we provide fully customized lift solutions for waterfront homeowners, commercial docks, and marina operators across Wilmington and surrounding communities. Our lifts are built to protect your investment, make launching easier, and extend the life of your craft in saltwater environments.

Built for Wilmington’s Marine Conditions
Saltwater, tides, and storm surge all take a toll on lift systems if they aren’t properly installed. Logan Marine selects marine-grade lift materials and matches the structure to your specific shoreline. Whether you’re tucked along a protected creek or on open water, we ensure your lift can handle the environment.
Many of our lift projects are anchored on driven pilings for added stability. For floating dock users, we can integrate floating docks or platforms that support lift systems safely.
We also build custom piers and gazebos that complement your lift setup and improve functionality and curb appeal.
Serving Wilmington and the Surrounding Coast
We provide custom lift design and installation throughout the coastal Cape Fear region, including:
FAQs About Custom Boat and Jet Ski Lifts
Do I need a lift if I already have a dock?
If you want to keep your vessel out of the water to prevent fouling, corrosion, and wear, a lift is highly recommended. It also makes launching and maintenance easier.
Can you install a lift on my existing dock?
In many cases, yes. We assess your dock structure to see if it can support a lift. If not, we can retrofit or build new driven pilings to accommodate your system.
How do I choose between a cradle lift and an elevator lift?
Cradle lifts are great for open piling setups with front or rear water access. Elevator lifts are better when pilings can’t be used or side-mount access is needed. We’ll help you choose based on your site.
Are your lift systems remote-controlled?
Yes, we offer both manual and remote-control lift options. We also install power units, solar systems, and safety stop features upon request.
How long does a boat lift installation take?
Most single-lift systems take 1–3 days to install once permits and materials are ready. More complex systems may take longer depending on dock access and tidal conditions.
