You Deserve the Best Dock on the Lake. This Is It

You step onto your Orlando lakefront as the morning sun dances across the water, your boat bobbing gently beside a dock that's actually built to last. No rotting boards, no rust stains, no weekend spent fixing what should have been working perfectly. That's the difference a well-designed floating dock makes—and it's exactly what we deliver with Wave Armor® systems.
We've been installing docks across Florida's lakes and rivers for over 20 years, and we've learned something important: your waterfront should enhance your life, not complicate it. Wave Armor® floating docks aren't just another dock option, they're the solution to every frustration you've had with traditional docking systems.
Why Your Current Dock Probably Drives You Crazy
Let's be honest about what most lakefront owners deal with. You bought that dream property on Lake Minneola or Lake Claire for peaceful mornings and easy boat access. Instead, you got a maintenance nightmare. Wooden docks that need constant staining and repair. Metal systems that corrode faster than you can say "Florida humidity." Fixed docks that leave your boat high and dry when water levels drop, or completely submerged when they rise.
Then there's the safety issue. Slippery surfaces that turn a fun day into an emergency room visit. Unstable platforms that make loading gear feel like a circus act. Docking systems so complicated that getting your jet ski back in the water becomes a two-person operation requiring perfect timing and a lot of luck. We see this frustration constantly, and it's exactly why we partner with Wave Armor®.
What Makes Wave Armor® Different
Wave Armor® floating docks use rotomolded polyethylene construction, think of the marine equivalent of those indestructible coolers that last decades. The material includes UV stabilization, which means Florida's intense sun won't fade, crack, or warp your investment. Inside, marine-grade foam provides both strength and buoyancy, creating a solid walking surface that stays stable even when the water gets choppy.
The real game-changer is their patented H-Beam connection system. Unlike traditional docks that lock you into one configuration forever, Wave Armor's modular design lets you expand and reconfigure as your needs change. Start with a simple fishing boat platform, add a kayak or paddleboard rack next season, then expand to accommodate that pontoon you've been eyeing. Everything connects seamlessly.
Here's what one of our Lake Harris clients told us: "My Wave Armor® dock feels like an extension of my patio—sturdy, safe, and no upkeep whatsoever." Another jet ski owner said, "The Wave Port makes docking so easy, I'm on the water in minutes instead of wrestling with my old system for twenty."
The Details That Actually Matter
Wave Armor's suction pockets and foam-filled interiors keep everything rock-solid stable, even during Orlando's dynamic water level changes. The flagstone-textured deck surface prevents slips when wet—crucial when kids are running around or you're carrying heavy gear from the boat.
The drive-on Wave Ports eliminate the complexity of traditional boat lifts. You simply drive your jet ski or pontoon directly onto the platform. No winches, no complex mechanisms, no wondering if you've got everything aligned correctly. Users consistently call it "a game-changer for docking."
Maintenance? There isn't any. A quick rinse with soap and water occasionally is all you need. Compare that to wooden docks requiring annual staining and constant board replacement, or metal systems that need regular rust treatment and hardware replacement.
Why We Choose Wave Armor®
We’ve evaluated every major floating dock system available, and Wave Armor® consistently outperforms the competition where it matters most. Their 10-year residential dock warranty provides long-term peace of mind, while their 8-year warranty on ports speaks to serious confidence in their build quality. Thicker, foam-filled polyethylene walls shrug off impacts better than most alternatives. More importantly, Wave Armor® is built to handle Florida’s extremes. Fluctuating lake levels that leave other docks stranded? Not an issue. Sudden storms that wreck fixed platforms? Wave Armor® floats with the punch. The brutal UV exposure that breaks down lesser materials? Its built-in protection is made to endure decades of Florida sun.
We design each installation specifically for your waterfront. Our team evaluates water depth, current patterns, and your specific usage needs, whether you're a family on Lake Jesup looking for safe swimming access or a serious angler needing a stable fishing platform. We also handle all permitting and ensure compliance with Florida's marine regulations.
Your Investment, Protected
Wave Armor's construction eliminates the ongoing costs that make traditional docks expensive over time. No replacement boards, no rust treatments, no structural repairs. The initial investment covers decades of reliable use, making the long-term value proposition clear.
We offer complete customization with accessories like solar-powered lifts, protective bumpers, and safety ladders. Everything integrates seamlessly with the core system, and you can add components as your needs evolve without reconstructing your entire setup.
The premium appearance enhances your property value while the safety features protect your family. Wave Armor® docks maintain their attractive appearance year after year, unlike alternatives that quickly show their age in Florida's challenging environment.
