Creative design, solid construction and reliable repair and maintenance services for docks and decks throughout the Gulf Islands.

New Construction

Since each project is unique in its location, your new dock will be designed for your site and your needs. The focus of new construction is on freshwater installations, specializing in difficult-access sites. In order to minimize disruption at your location, the majority of your new dock will be built off-site and delivered for installation. In addition to supplying your wharf and float, we can collaborate on your shoreside construction needs.

You can choose from pile supported or floating walkways, and we can even design a float that can be removed from the water in the winter so you don't have to worry about winter storm damage!

Access Marine cares about protecting our water quality by minimizing the use of chemically treated materials. We use top-quality cedar for float construction and fully encapsulated foam billets for flotation. Our hardware is either hot dip galvanized, or stainless steel to ensure years of worry-free enjoyment of your float.
