Why Carolina Beach is different
Carolina Beach Yacht Basin has its own wave-state on a windy day. We add wind bracing to every pier we build there and oversize the pilings under boat lifts.

FAQ
Questions about Carolina Beach dock builds
>
Do you work in the Yacht Basin?
Yes — we have built and repaired docks throughout the Yacht Basin. Wave-state there is sharper than the open ICW so we frame heavier.
>
Wind bracing on a residential pier — necessary?
On Carolina Beach, yes. The fetch from the Cape Fear and the basin runs hard in a southwest wind, and unbraced piers walk over time.
>
Can you do a lift on a small lot?
Yes. We have done 4-post cradle lifts on Carolina Beach lots with 25 feet of frontage. The trick is the cradle width and the pile spacing.
