Dock Electrical & Boat Lift Wiring
Marine-grade dock power, boat lift wiring, lighting, and shore power for waterfront homes across Tampa Bay, from a Florida State Certified Master Electrician.
Electrical Built for the Water
A dock is one of the hardest places to put electrical work. The circuits sit a few feet above salt water, bake in the Florida sun, and take the brunt of every storm that rolls across Tampa Bay. Regular outlets, lighting, and lift wiring corrode and fail quickly out there, which is exactly why dock electrical is a specialty and not a job for a general handyman.
We have wired docks, boat lifts, seawalls, and waterfront homes across Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Pasco since 1997. We use wet-rated and marine-rated parts, corrosion-resistant hardware, and GFCI protection on every circuit, and we pull the permits and handle inspections so the work is safe and legal. Owner Christian Orbesen, a Florida State Certified Master Electrician, runs every project himself.
Dock Electrical Work on the Water
Dock & Boat Lift Electrical Services
Boat Lift Wiring & Motors
We run dedicated, correctly sized circuits for single and dual boat lifts, and we replace worn lift motors and control wiring. Everything is built to handle the load and the conditions along Tampa Bay, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the Gulf canals.
Dock Outlets & GFCI Protection
Weatherproof, GFCI-protected outlets sized for pressure washers, pumps, and tools. We wire them to the current NEC rules for docks and boatyards so they pass inspection and keep your family safe.
Dock & Piling Lighting
Dock lighting, piling caps, and pathway fixtures that make the dock safe to walk at night and look good doing it. We choose fixtures that hold up to constant salt spray.
Shore Power Pedestals
Marine shore-power pedestals and 30 or 50 amp hookups so your batteries stay charged and your systems keep running while the boat is tied up.
Dock Sub-Panels & Feeders
We run a new feeder from the house out to a weatherproof sub-panel on the dock. That gives you clean power for lifts, lighting, and outlets, with room to add more down the road.
Dock Repairs & Troubleshooting
Breakers that keep tripping, corroded connections, a lift motor that quit, a dead GFCI. We find the real fault and rebuild it the right way with corrosion-resistant parts.

Dock Electrical FAQs
What dock electrical services do you provide?
We wire and repair boat lifts, install GFCI-protected dock outlets, run dock and piling lighting, set marine shore-power pedestals, and install weatherproof dock sub-panels and feeders. All of it is built for the salt-air environment of Tampa Bay waterfronts.
Do you use marine-rated materials on docks?
Always. Dock circuits sit a few feet from salt water, so we use wet-rated and marine-rated parts, corrosion-resistant covers and hardware, the right conduit, and GFCI protection on every circuit to meet the NEC rules for marinas, boatyards, and docking facilities.
Do dock electrical jobs need a permit?
Yes. Dock and boat-lift electrical needs a permit from your local building authority, and waterfront work can also involve Florida DEP and local water rules. We pull the electrical permit, coordinate with your dock builder, and handle the inspection.
Which areas do you cover for dock work?
We cover waterfront communities across Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Pasco, including Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Dunedin, Palm Harbor, Tarpon Springs, Safety Harbor, Indian Rocks Beach, Seminole, Largo, New Port Richey, Port Richey, Holiday, and Hudson.
