Custom Boathouses & Boat Lifts

Your boat is one of the largest investments on your waterfront property. A properly designed boathouse and boat lift system protects that investment from weather, UV exposure, marine growth, and unnecessary wear while making it easier and more enjoyable to get out on the water.

At Dellefave Contracting, we design and build custom boathouses and boat lift systems tailored to each property's unique conditions, vessel specifications, and owner preferences. Whether you're protecting a fishing boat, pontoon, wake boat, sailboat, or luxury cruiser, our team will help determine the ideal lift capacity, configuration, and structural requirements for safe, reliable operation.

Custom Boat Lift Solutions

We install and service boat lifts with capacities up to 32,000 pounds, ensuring each system is engineered to match the vessel's weight, dimensions, and center of gravity. Proper lift selection is critical—not only for performance, but also for the long-term protection of your boat. We work with Hurricane Boat Lifts, an American manufacturer based in Florida, that designs and builds high-quality marine-grade boat lift systems.

Our lift systems can include:

  • Standard and heavy-duty cradle lifts

  • Custom bunk and cradle configurations

  • Single and double boat lifts

  • Personal watercraft (PWC) lifts

  • Remote-controlled lift operation

  • Wireless smartphone controls

  • High-capacity systems for larger vessels

  • Lift upgrades and replacements

Why Install a Boat Lift?

“A boat worth lifting belongs to a lift worth owning” - Hurricane Boat Lifts. A boat lift provides significant advantages over keeping a vessel in the water full-time:

  • Reduces hull fouling, algae, and marine growth

  • Minimizes corrosion and long-term wear

  • Protects against changing water levels and storms

  • Eliminates the need for frequent bottom cleaning

  • Improves convenience and accessibility

  • Helps maintain your boat's value

  • Extends the lifespan of your vessel

Custom Boathouse Construction

A boathouse offers an additional layer of protection by shielding your boat from Florida's intense sun, heavy rain, and seasonal weather events. Beyond protecting your vessel, a custom boathouse can become a beautiful extension of your outdoor living space.

We offer:

  • Single-slip and multi-slip boathouses

  • Open-air and enclosed designs

  • Metal, shingle, and tile roofing options

  • Custom lighting packages

  • Electrical and water service

  • Storage rooms and equipment areas

  • Fish cleaning stations

  • Composite or wood decking options

  • Custom architectural finishes to complement your home

When you work with Dellefave Contracting, you're partnering with a licensed and insured marine contractor trusted by waterfront property owners throughout Central Florida. We use quality materials, proven construction methods, and experienced craftsmen to deliver structures built to withstand years of use and Florida's demanding marine environment.
