TideRider Floating Boat Lift That Keeps Your Boat High and Dry
TideRider is a low profile floating lift with full length walkways and a marine grade frame. It keeps your boat out of the water without blocking your view.
Instead of heavy overhead structure, the lift rides with the water level. It works with fixed or floating docks and is well suited to the fluctuating water levels or storm conditions that occur in Georgia, North Florida and Caribbean.
- Capacities from about six thousand to thirty five thousand pounds, site verified
- Full length walkways for boarding, cleaning, and service
- Marine grade aluminum frame with stainless hardware and brass nuts
- Low profile tanks to keep long views over the water
- With the lift raised, the alluminum frame remains out of the water.

Why This Floating Boat Lift Works on Tidal Water
Designed for any water including: rivers, creeks, and lakes in Georgia, North Florida and Caribbean.
Works with fluctuating water
The lift floats with the water level instead of fighting it. This is a major advantage on creeks, rivers and lakes with fluctuating water.
Less structure and permitting
Floating lifts often require less heavy structure than traditional cable lifts. That can mean less permitting and less impact to your dock.
Adaptable and relocatable
Lift capacity and bunking can be adjusted as your boats change. If you want to move the lift, it can be towed behind a vessel or put on a trailer.
Full length walkways
Walk the full length of the boat for easy boarding, cleaning, and service. You do not have to step over beams or squeeze between tight posts.
Low profile views
No tall frames or big gantries blocking your view. Tanks sit low in the water so you still see sky and horizon over the boat.
Local site review
Tidewater looks at your dock, water depth, and exposure, then matches the lift, capacity, and controls to your application.

Drive on, lift, and go. Less time tying lines or cleaning growth off the hull and more time enjoying the water.
