Custom docks, seawalls, boat lifts, and dock repair in Apollo Beach, FL — built by Tampa Dock Builders. Serving Tampa Bay and Apollo Beach Canal system since 1992 with an in-house crew, FDEP-permitted builds, and a 30-year material warranty.
Tampa Dock Builders has built docks, seawalls, and boat lifts in Apollo Beach since 1992. We're a Tampa-based, family-owned marine contractor with our own crew, our own trucks, and our own permitting team — we're the company Apollo Beach waterfront homeowners actually call when they want the work done right the first time.
Apollo Beach is canal country — most of the neighborhood is platted around an extensive man-made canal system feeding into Tampa Bay. That means shallow water (often 3-5 feet at MLW), tight setbacks, and dock layouts that have to consider neighbor access on both sides. New builds here often need pile extensions during low tides and we frequently install elevator-style lifts because there isn\'t room for four-post layouts.
We work all of Apollo Beach — every street, every neighborhood, every canal. Where we end up most often: Mira Bay, Symphony Isles, Andalucia, Old Apollo Beach, and Apollo Key Village. If your property is in Apollo Beach and it has water access, we build there.
Apollo Beach canals can drop below 3 feet at MLW in some sections. Dock height and lift cradle position need to account for this.
That means Apollo Beach docks are engineered slightly differently than the same dock would be elsewhere on Tampa Bay. We've been doing this long enough to know the local quirks — we don't show up with a one-size-fits-all spec.
New canal-side docks, single-piling elevator lifts (for narrow canal frontage), seawall cap repairs, storm damage rebuilds. Whatever your project is, we'll come look at it for free, give you straight advice, and quote it in writing with a fixed price.
