Sunstream boat lifts, on a dock built to carry them.
DockFitter is the Sunstream Boat Lift Dealer for South Mississippi. We sell, install and service Sunstream lifts, including the award-winning LiftBar and the Helix2-P, and because we build the docks and boathouses too, the pilings, power and lift are planned as one job.

The Sunstream lineup
LiftBar
Award-winning lift with the whole mechanism hidden inside one bar. No sway when up.
Helix2-P piling lift
Mounts to pilings. Fast and quiet, with no motors in your view.
SunLift X
Freestanding hydraulic lift that sits on the bottom instead of pilings.
FloatLift
Floating hydraulic lift for slips, side-ties and places pilings will not work.

SwiftShield in three steps
Push a button and the cover arm swings over the boat on the lift. Push it again and the cover folds back out of the way.
Built into the dock platform
The lift sits inside the dock itself, so the boat comes up right at deck level. Ask us how it could look at your dock.

Rotted pilings don't mean a new dock.
Wood pilings fail at the waterline first. SnapJacket repairs and protects the pilings you already have, sealing out rot and marine borers without tearing out the dock above. Drag the slider to see it.

Wood still has its place, but the Gulf Coast is hard on it. We price long-life options side by side with marine lumber and let you choose.

Start with the right questions.
Not sure whether to repair, protect or rebuild? Send photos and we will tell you what we see.
Should I repair my dock or replace it?
It depends mostly on the pilings and framing. If they are sound, new decking and hardware can give an old dock years of life. If the pilings are failing at the waterline, SnapJacket protection can often save them. If both are gone, a rebuild is usually the better money. We inspect the whole structure before recommending either path.
Can rotted pilings be repaired without tearing out the dock?
In many cases, yes. SnapJacket encases the damaged section of an existing piling and seals it off from rot and marine borers, without removing the dock above. We have protected more than 2,000 pilings.
Do you sell and install Sunstream boat lifts?
Yes. DockFitter is the Sunstream Boat Lift Dealer for South Mississippi. We sell, install and service Sunstream lifts, including the Helix2-P piling lift, and we can build or upgrade the dock and pilings the lift mounts to.
Do you service lifts you did not install?
Yes. We service and repair existing lifts, including cables, bunks, motors, adjustments and storm damage.
Do you build low-maintenance docks?
Yes. We build with composite decking, flow-through decking, EcoPile composite pilings, vinyl sheet piling and stainless hardware, and we will price them next to traditional marine lumber so you can compare.
Do I need a permit?
Most new docks, boathouses, bulkheads and major modifications need one. Depending on the project that can involve the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, state agencies in Mississippi or Alabama, and local building permits. We prepare and track the paperwork for you.
