What’s a jet ski dock?

A jet ski dock allows for easy access and removal of personal watercraft, preventing damage from wind and waves. It provides drive-in and roll-out access and short- and long-term storage, and can be easily installed and removed for seasonal use.

A jet ski dock is mounted to a boat dock or breakwater to allow easy access and removal of the boat. Commonly constructed of a polyethylene material, the water ski dock incorporates a non-slip walking surface with an easy slide rail system or rollers to allow the craft to be successfully launched by one person. Unlike a typical dock where a boat is pulled alongside and tied into position, the jet ski dock provides drive-in and roll-out access, as well as short- and long-term storage for the personal watercraft while at the dock. This style of boat dock also prevents many types of moisture damage when lifting and storing your boat above and out of the water.

Many personal watercraft jet skis are damaged by being battered against the side of a common dock by wind and waves. By incorporating a specially designed jet ski dock into an existing boat or swim dock, the personal watercraft is no longer subject to the tossing and turning nature of being tethered to the dock. When finished riding and enjoying the jet ski, the driver simply drives the jet ski to the water ski dock and stops when the jet ski contacts the built-in stop block. The jet ski dock rotates up and out of the water as the jet ski reaches the dock and locks in an elevated position. The rider can get off the boat and leave the pier.

Removing the jet ski from the dock, the driver releases the locking mechanism on the dock and climbs aboard the jet ski. The jet ski dock turns into the water and the boat slowly rolls off the dock and into the water. The rider can start the boat and ride away. The jet ski dock remains in the lowered position until the rider has finished his ride and rides back to the dock, where the process is repeated once more lifting the craft out of the water and into the stowed position.

At the end of the cold weather water sports season, the water ski dock is removed from the boat dock and stored indoors or outdoors in the same manner as other dock materials and components. The dock is easily installed at the start of the next boating season. In temperate climates, it is not necessary to remove the coupling system once installed.
