Give your boat a place to call home.
Custom boathouse construction and repair for Brevard County waterfronts—planned around your vessel, dock, and the way you use the water.
A waterfront space built around your boat.
A boathouse can create a covered place for your vessel and make the dock more comfortable to use. It should also feel considered alongside the home, shoreline, and existing waterfront structures.
Dream Docks works with property owners on custom boathouses in Melbourne and throughout Brevard County. We look at the vessel, lift, dock layout, site conditions, materials, and applicable approvals as part of the planning conversation.
Discuss Your Boathouse
Covered boating space, designed for daily use
A boathouse that works as well as it looks.
The best result starts with how the space will be used and what the waterfront can accommodate.
Boat & lift fit
Plan around your boat’s size, access needs, and the lift configuration you have or may want.
Site & structure
Consider the existing dock, pilings, water depth, exposure, and how the structure connects to the shoreline.
Everyday comfort
Think through shade, circulation, boarding, and the space you want around the vessel.
One design does not fit every dock.
Some projects begin with a new dock and lift. Others involve adding coverage to an existing waterfront. We’ll talk through what is there, what you want to achieve, and what the site may allow before settling on an approach.

Already have a boathouse?
An existing covered dock may need structural work, a lift update, or a closer look before you change how it is used. Dream Docks also works on waterfront repairs and boat lifts.
Share photos and a description of the issue, and we can discuss a site review and the next step. If you are planning a larger update, it may make sense to consider the dock, cover, and lift together.
Ask About RepairsBefore you build.
Can I add a boathouse to my existing dock?
Possibly. The existing structure, pilings, site layout, and applicable requirements need to be reviewed before a covered addition can be recommended.
Can a boathouse include a boat lift?
Yes, many covered waterfront designs incorporate a lift. The lift type and capacity should be planned around the vessel and the structure that will support it.
Will a boathouse need permits?
Permit and design requirements depend on the property, waterway, and proposed work. We can discuss the relevant review process during planning.
Do you repair existing boathouses?
Dream Docks advertises boathouse construction and repair. Contact us with the location, photos, and a description of the structure so we can discuss the work needed.
