Boat Lifts & Personal Watercraft Lifts

Boat lifts and personal watercraft (PWC) lifts are essential features for protecting watercraft from damage while streamlining access to the water. In Wilmington, Wrightsville Beach, Topsail, NC, and All Surrounding Areas, where saltwater, tidal shifts, and storms are part of everyday coastal living, Vision Marine Construction provides expert installation and service of durable marine lift systems tailored to each shoreline environment. Whether you own a fishing boat, pontoon, yacht, or jet ski, our lift systems are designed to reduce hull wear, increase convenience, and extend the life of your investment.


Custom Boat Lift Installation for Wilmington Properties

Every boat and property is different, which is why boat lifts must be customized to fit both the vessel and the environment. We begin each project by assessing the shoreline, water depth, dock configuration, and tidal variation. This ensures the lift is sized correctly for the boat’s weight and hull type and positioned for safe, smooth operation in all water conditions.


Vision Marine Construction installs both cable-driven and hydraulic lift systems. Popular options include cradle lifts, elevator lifts, and beamless models—each chosen based on structural needs and usage preferences. Boat lifts can be mounted to pilings, seawalls, or integrated directly into existing dock systems. We also offer configurations that accommodate catamarans, pontoon boats, and multi-vessel docking situations.

Personal Watercraft Lift Solutions

Jet skis, Sea-Doos, and other PWCs benefit from specialized lift systems that provide quick access without the need for docking maneuvers or trailer storage. In Wilmington, Wrightsville Beach, Topsail, NC, and All Surrounding Areas’s busy waterways and brackish estuaries, storing a PWC out of the water prevents algae buildup, corrosion, and impact damage from tides or boat wakes.


Our PWC lift solutions include single and double models, drive-on floating platforms, and vertical lifts with remote or manual control. These systems are compact, easy to operate, and built from corrosion-resistant materials suited for saltwater environments. Whether installed on a private dock or shared waterfront, these lifts provide protection and convenience year-round.

Lift Materials Built for Coastal Conditions

Marine lift systems must endure Wilmington’s tidal ranges, UV exposure, and salt air. Vision Marine Construction installs products made from high-performance, corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel, aluminum, and galvanized components. Cables are marine-rated and coated to reduce wear, while hardware is chosen for strength and longevity.


Our recommended lift brands are selected based on proven performance in North Carolina’s coastal environment. Each component—from brackets to guideposts—is engineered to minimize maintenance while maximizing reliability. Power units are housed in weather-protected enclosures and can be fitted with solar panels or remote controls for added convenience.

Lift Maintenance and Repair Services

Routine maintenance is critical to ensuring your boat or PWC lift operates safely and reliably. In Wilmington, Wrightsville Beach, Topsail, NC, and All Surrounding Areas, marine growth, salt accumulation, and wind-driven debris can cause wear on moving parts and electrical systems. Vision Marine Construction provides maintenance services including cable inspections, motor checks, lubrication, and mechanical adjustments.


We also offer diagnostic and repair services for lift systems experiencing performance issues. Common concerns such as motor failure, cable tension problems, or uneven lift operation are addressed quickly using replacement parts from trusted manufacturers. Whether your lift is experiencing electrical issues or mechanical wear, we restore functionality while ensuring all safety protocols are met.

Integration with Dock and Marina Systems

Boat and PWC lifts often require strategic placement to work seamlessly with docks and waterfront infrastructure. Vision Marine Construction ensures all lifts are properly integrated with existing piers, floating docks, or newly built platforms. For marina applications, we coordinate spacing, power access, and multi-slip lift designs to optimize flow and user safety.


We also provide upgrades for older lift systems, including conversion to remote-controlled units, addition of guide-ons or bunks, and expansion to accommodate larger or additional vessels. Every system we install or retrofit is aligned with CAMA permit requirements and built to accommodate Wilmington’s unique coastal conditions.
