Service Areas

Cape Fear Boat Lifts ships nationwide from our Wilmington, North Carolina facility. We have delivered lifts from the Outer Banks to the Florida Coast, from Long Island to the Gulf Coast, as well as inland reservoirs in Michigan and Tennessee. If your property has water access, we can arrange delivery.

Every body of water has its own conditions — tide range, salt or fresh, storm exposure, permitting authority — and we spec lifts against the water your dock actually sits in. The regions below are the ones we often work, but your area does not need to be listed. Call us and we will size a lift to your boat and your dock, and tell you honestly what delivery looks like.

Every lift leaves our Wilmington, North Carolina facility to locations across the United States and beyond. Tell us where your dock is located and we will confirm delivery cost and schedule before you commit.

Local details for a few of our service areas are shown below.

Wilmington — Home base. The Cape Fear River, the Intracoastal Waterway, and dock-front neighborhoods from downtown to Carolina Beach. Local orders get the quick delivery and local service.

Lake Norman — A Duke Energy reservoir on the Catawba River, with managed water levels and one of the largest wake-boat markets in the Southeast.

Kerr Lake — Also called Buggs Island Lake. A Corps of Engineers flood-control reservoir with the largest water-level swings of any lake we serve.

Myrtle Beach — The Intracoastal Waterway along the Grand Strand, from Little River through Murrells Inlet. Constant wake traffic and brackish water.

Charleston — Nearly six feet of tide twice a day, hard-running current, and full salt exposure from the Wando to the Stono.

Virginia Beach — The Lynnhaven, Broad Bay, and Rudee Inlet at the mouth of the Chesapeake. Salt water, real tides, and nor’easters.

Newport News — The James and Warwick rivers feeding Hampton Roads, with miles of fetch and working-harbor wakes.

Chesapeake Bay — Maryland’s Bay, from the Severn and Magothy to Kent Island and the Eastern Shore. Brackish water, open-fetch chop, and winter ice.

Bradenton — The Manatee River, Palma Sola Bay, and the canals of Anna Maria Island. Year-round salt and relentless barnacle growth.

Sarasota — Sarasota Bay and the seawall docks of Siesta Key, Bird Key, and Longboat Key.

Pine Island — Pine Island Sound and Matlacha Pass. Skinny water, flats boats, and docks rebuilt to a higher standard after Ian.

Pompano Beach — Residential canals feeding the Intracoastal, with the Gulf Stream minutes out of Hillsboro Inlet.

Fort Lauderdale — 165 miles of canals, the New River, and the Intracoastal — every size boat from jet skis to yachts.

Everywhere Else

Most of our customers are not in the regions above. We ship across the country — Georgia, Michigan, Tennessee, Connecticut, Long Island and beyond — and freight is often free or quoted individually for each destination. Get in touch with your location and we will confirm the cost and the schedule.

Every lift is specified for the water it will live in — wherever that water is.
