A boat lift made to measure for your boat

A boat lift lets you take your boat out of the water with ease and protects the hull from wave action, fouling and long-term exposure to the water. This limits damage to the hull, which lowers maintenance costs in the long run. Ice formation does not stand a chance either: when you are not sailing, your boat sits dry above the water. Our boat lifts are low-maintenance, resistant to fresh and salt water and have a built-in anti-theft feature. Every boat lift comes with a 3-year warranty on construction and operation.

The quay boat lift comes in three lifting classes: 750 kg, 1,000 kg and 1,200 kg, fitted with an electric winch as standard. For heavier boats from 1,500 to 8,000 kg, we supply the floating boat lift with HDPE tanks operated by air pressure; we calculate the required buoyancy and the structure for each project. If you are unsure about the weight of your vessel, we will come and measure the situation with you in person.

For boats and sloops up to and including 1,200 kg at a fixed bank or quay wall, the quay boat lift is the ideal solution. For heavier boats from 1,500 to 8,000 kg, or for open moorings, choose the floating boat lift. If you also want to protect your boat from wind and weather, the lift can be combined with a boathouse.

A stable and suitable mooring is important for good operation and a long service life. With a quay boat lift, the bank revetment must be strong enough to absorb the forces of the lift; depending on the situation, a tie-back anchor may be needed, for example. For installation we look at the condition and construction of the bank revetment, the water depth, the normal and fluctuating water level, the accessibility of the location, the space available for installation and the options for fixing and anchoring. As the owner, you are in principle responsible for a sound bank revetment.

We determine the required entry height for each situation, looking at the height of your boat, any superstructure and the desired clearance.

Every boat lift is produced and installed to measure. The final price depends on the type of lift (quay or floating), the dimensions and weight of your vessel and the situation at the water. That is why we work with a free, no-obligation quote following a personal measurement on site.

Installing a standard boat lift takes half a day on average and is carried out expertly by our own installation team from Grou. A complete boathouse or a larger custom structure takes more time. We agree the planning and the necessary preparations with you in advance.

Thanks to our own production facility in Grou and ample stock, our standard quay and floating boat lifts can be delivered within around 1 week. For custom work, the delivery time depends on the chosen system, the dimensions, any custom parts and our current planning. Because we make and assemble many parts ourselves, we can plan flexibly. Installation on site takes half a day on average and is carried out by our own installation team.

Every DutchBoatLift boat lift comes with a standard 3-year warranty on both construction and operation. The warranty covers defects that are demonstrably the result of a material or manufacturing fault. Damage caused by, for example, incorrect use, collision, overloading, insufficient maintenance, modifications by third parties, an unsound base or bank revetment, or storms is not automatically covered. The exact warranty conditions are set out in our general terms and conditions.

Yes. Our floating boat lifts have HDPE tanks, a galvanised steel structure and stainless steel bolts, and are suitable for both fresh and salt water.

Certainly. A boat lift can be fitted seamlessly in an existing boathouse or under an existing boat shelter. DutchBoatHouse also supplies complete combinations of a new aluminium boathouse with an integrated lift.

Our DutchBoatLift boat lifts are 100% Dutch-made. We develop, produce and assemble all systems at our own facility in Grou (Friesland), using materials such as aluminium, galvanised steel, stainless steel bolts and HDPE floats.
