A slip is an opening in the dock where a boat can be securely stored with protection on three sides. If you only own one watercraft, you may desire a dock with a single built in slip. Add a lift to remove your boat from the water during winter season and install a roof for protection from rain, snow, and harmful UV rays. The single slip boat dock is the perfect solution for storing a boat year-round.
Whether you already own two boats, or plan to expand your fleet, you may opt for a floating dock with two boat slips. Double-slip docks offer all of the engineering benefits of the CAT5 system. They are the most common layout for our residential docks and often times include an upper deck for lounging and additional storage.
If you own both a boat and a personal watercraft (PWC), like a jet ski, then a dock with a side slip may be the best option for you. A side slip offers the same level of protection for your watercraft as a standard slip, while retaining as much usable deck space as possible.
Platform docks are ideal for fishing, swimming, and lounging. While the platform dock may be the most simple CAT5 layout, it can be further enhanced by the many accessories and furniture available. Install a railing for safety, add a roof for shade and protection, attach a cleat for boat mooring, or even mount a diving board. Platform docks can also be designed with a low freeboard for kayak launches and rowing applications. Simple layouts can still be elegant in design.
Custom dock layouts are the factory's specialty. Whether you want multiple boat slips of varying sizes, or a fully enclosed floating structure, a custom CAT5 dock can be built to your vision. The design team collaborates with you to create a dock that is unique in appearance and the envy of everyone on the water.
Even commercial layouts are fully customizable with the most common styles being E-Shaped or Fishbone. Both of these slip styles can be altered to fit small speed boats or large yachts. Commercial layouts can also include rows of lifts for personal watercraft. The design team will help create a layout that is suitable for any commercial application.
