Docks & Piers on Cozumel: fixed and floating docks, piers and boat lifts
We build docks, piers and boat lifts on Cozumel: bathymetry, ZOFEMAT and environmental permits, piles, hardwood or composite decking and a lift sized to your boat. Cozumel's high-end market is oceanfront villas on the north and south hotel coasts, dive-oriented homes with boats and resorts; everything arrives by ferry or cargo barge from the mainland.
What We Build
Fixed Docks on Piles
Treated hardwood, galvanised steel or concrete piles, with decks in tropical hardwood or composite.
Boat Lifts
Electric lifts for boats and jet skis, stainless and aluminium for salt water.
Hurricane Detailing
Deck boards fixed to release under storm surge, piles designed for wave loads.
Docks for the waterfront on Cozumel
Works are licensed by Cozumel municipality; the coast is under ZOFEMAT and parts of the island are protected, and condo buildings have 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 on Cozumel
The island takes salt and wind from every side and has been hit by strong hurricanes, so metal, windows, paint and garden structures need marine-grade materials and hurricane fixing. Hardware is marine-grade stainless or hot-dip galvanised, and decks are chosen for water, sun and bare feet. Cozumel's west coast is inside the reef national park, so new piers are reviewed by CONANP and designed to avoid any contact with coral.
Water and utilities on Cozumel
Water on the island is hard and supply can be irregular, so cisterns, softeners and filters are standard and fittings must tolerate scale.
Rentals and scheduling on Cozumel
Dive and cruise tourism keeps rentals busy all year, so we usually renovate one unit or room at a time.
