Floating boat lift: for rivers and water whose level moves

A lift that floats follows the water level. Your boat stays dry, with no water level to keep an eye on, even where a bottom-standing lift won’t hold. We plan, deliver and install the whole project.

The problem

On a river, the water level doesn’t ask permission

It rises in the spring, then drops in the middle of summer. A cantilever or vertical lift, set for one level, starts fighting as soon as the water moves: too high and the boat scrapes; too low and it can’t get on. You end up watching the water more often than you enjoy the boat.

A floating lift removes that problem outright: there are no legs to adjust, because there are none.

Reviews & testimonials

What our customers say.

Our inflatable dock arrived in three days and it holds two teenagers diving off it without flinching. Exactly what we were looking for.
Julie T.McGregor Lake
They assessed our shoreline, recommended the right dock and installed everything in a single day. Zero stress, start to finish.
Martin & CarolinePhilippe Lake
My pontoon is out of the water all summer and the seasonal service means I never think about it. A reliable local crew.

The answer

It floats, so it follows

A floating lift rests on the water rather than on the bottom. When the level changes, it changes with it, and your boat stays exactly where it should be: dry, ready to go down.

We install the Sunstream FloatLift range, designed precisely for these conditions, with hydraulic operation that raises the boat effortlessly.

10,000+projects completed at the water’s edge

On lakes, rivers and reservoirs: water with a changing level is part of our everyday work, not the exception. Your project is planned by people who know what a spring freshet does to an installation.

No surprises

Feasibility before commitment

A project of this size isn’t decided from a catalogue. The assessment of your site carries no obligation: you know whether the solution fits, in what configuration and at what full price, before investing anything.

FAQ

Your questions about floating lifts

What’s a floating boat lift?

A structure that floats on the water and raises the boat above the surface with a hydraulic mechanism. Because it floats, it follows the water level, without the adjustments a bottom-standing lift demands.

How is it different from a cantilever or vertical lift?

A cantilever or vertical lift stands on the bottom and suits water with a stable level. A floating lift suits rivers and water with a changing level, and places where the depth makes a bottom-standing lift impractical.

How much does a floating lift cost?

Every floating project is custom: the price depends on the capacity, the site and the configuration, and it varies a lot from one project to the next. The assessment and the detailed quote, with no obligation, give you the exact amount before any decision.

Do you serve rivers far from Gatineau?

Yes. Our usual territory reaches about 2 to 2.5 hours of driving from Gatineau, and a substantial floating project justifies the travel on its own: we go as far as Quebec City, Abitibi or Lac-Saint-Jean. The project form confirms feasibility for your location.

Stop watching the water level, enjoy the river

A floating lift suited to your site, installed by a crew that knows water that moves. Planning a project takes time: the sooner it starts, the sooner your boat is out of the water.

The assessment of your site carries no obligation: feasibility, configuration and full price before you invest anything.

Every project file is followed as a priority by a member of the team, from the first call to commissioning.
