J&M Marine Construction builds custom docks, boat lifts, and waterfront structures for homeowners in Chokoloskee. Sitting at the gateway to the Ten Thousand Islands, this historic island community offers unmatched access to backwater fishing and Gulf waters — and a dock built for its tides and salt is a must. We handle design, fabrication, and installation in-house, engineering every structure to endure Florida's sun, salt, tides, and storm exposure.
What We Build
Boat Lift Installation & Repair
In a serious fishing and boating community like Chokoloskee, protecting your vessel is priority one. We install cradle, cantilever, and elevator lifts sized to your boat and the tidal range at your shoreline, keeping the hull out of the salt water to prevent corrosion, staining, and growth. When salt takes its toll on an older lift, our repair team replaces motors, cables, and bunks to keep you on the water.
Custom Welding & Fabrication
Every waterfront lot around Chokoloskee is different, and the salt environment is unforgiving, so we fabricate to fit and to last. Our in-house shop welds marine-grade aluminum and stainless components — frames, brackets, railings, ladders, and specialty hardware — engineered to resist corrosion. Building to fit means stronger, cleaner connections sized precisely for your tidal conditions and loads rather than forced from generic parts.
Dock Construction & Decking
Whether you need a rugged platform for launching skiffs or a comfortable spot to take in the islands, we build docks around how you use the water. Choose composite, wood, or low-maintenance decking suited to heavy coastal exposure. We engineer pilings and framing for tides and storm loads and handle permitting, so your Chokoloskee dock is safe, compliant, and built for the long haul.
Floating Dock Fabrication & Installation
With significant tidal swings near the Ten Thousand Islands, a floating dock keeps access reliable at any water level. We fabricate and install marine-grade floating systems that rise and fall with the tide, giving you stable boarding for skiffs, kayaks, and larger boats. Modular and corrosion-resistant, they can be configured to your shoreline and expanded as needed.
Repairs, Maintenance & Accessories
The harsh salt environment around Chokoloskee is tough on waterfront structures, so ongoing care is essential. We repair storm and corrosion damage, replace worn decking and hardware, service lifts, and add accessories like cleats, bumpers, ladders, and lighting. Whether your dock needs restoration or upgrades, we'll get it back in top shape for island life.
