Docks & Piers in Chetumal: fixed and floating docks, piers and boat lifts
We build docks, piers and boat lifts in Chetumal: bathymetry, ZOFEMAT and environmental permits, piles, hardwood or composite decking and a lift sized to your boat. Chetumal is the state capital on the bay: bayfront residences along the boulevard, institutional and commercial buildings, and a growing market for lifts, gyms and bay docks.
What We Build
Floating Pontoons
HDPE or concrete floats with gangways that follow the tide and lagoon levels.
Dock Services
Shore power, water, LED step lighting and cleats, all marine grade.
Federal Permits
ZOFEMAT or CONAGUA concession, environmental impact statement and municipal licence.
Docks for the waterfront in Chetumal
Licences come from Othón P. Blanco municipality with established procedures; condominium and commercial buildings add their own administration rules. Pile type, deck height and length follow the bathymetry and the federal concession, never a standard drawing.
Permits, seabed and the water in Chetumal
Chetumal sits on a bay, so salt is milder than on the open coast, but heat and humidity are high and the city has been hit by hurricanes. Hardware is marine-grade stainless or hot-dip galvanised, and decks are chosen for water, sun and bare feet.
Materials, crews and access in Chetumal
Chetumal is about four hours from our workshops but has good local suppliers, so materials are bought locally and labour costs are lower than in the north.
Water and utilities in Chetumal
The municipal network covers most of the city, with hard water that makes filters and softeners useful in bathrooms and kitchens.
