Custom Marine Construction for Naples Bay & Canal Properties
Custom marine construction built around your property, your boat, and the way you navigate Naples waterways.
Naples marine properties can sit along residential canals, the Gordon River, Naples Bay, or waterways leading toward the Gulf. Each setting creates different considerations for docks, boat lifts, seawalls, and related marine structures.
Water depth, shoreline conditions, boat access, existing construction, lift placement, and the relationship between the property and the water all affect the project.
WB Williamson Bros. provides custom docks, boat lifts, seawall construction and repair, and marine contracting services throughout Naples and Southwest Florida.
Your Naples Dock Starts With the Property, Not a Standard Layout
A dock project in Naples needs to work with the property and the water in front of it.
Naples Bay connects to the Gulf through Gordon Pass, while the Gordon River and local canals create different water and shoreline conditions throughout the area. The City of Naples maintains marine permitting requirements for docks, boat lifts, pilings, seawalls, riprap, dredging and related work.
For the property owner, that means dock layout, water depth, vessel size, lift location, existing seawall conditions, access, and construction constraints should be considered together.
Our Naples Marine Construction Process
Property Consultation
We start by reviewing the property, the existing dock or seawall, the boat, the shoreline type, river or canal access, and what you want the finished project to accomplish.
Dock Planning & Design
Once we understand the site, we develop the layout, lift location, materials, walkway length, access approach, and any additional features included in the project.

Naples Dock, Seawall & Boat Lift FAQs
Do Naples docks and seawalls require permits?
Yes. The City of Naples requires marine permits for docks, boat lifts, pilings, seawalls and riprap, with project-specific documentation requirements.
Can an existing dock be repaired instead of replaced?
Sometimes. The condition of the pilings, framing, decking, connections, and other structural components needs to be evaluated before deciding whether repair or replacement makes more sense.
How do you determine where a boat lift should go?
The lift location needs to work with the boat, water depth, dock configuration, piling placement, and available space.
Does a Naples Bay property present different conditions from a canal property?
It can. Water depth, vessel traffic, access, exposure, shoreline conditions, and existing structures vary by location.
Can a dock and seawall be planned as one project?
Yes. Coordinating them can help with dock attachment, piling placement, access, and construction sequencing.
Can electrical and plumbing be incorporated into dock construction?
Yes, where applicable to the project and permitting requirements.
