Built to Perform. Built to Last.

A boat lift should do more than raise your boat—it should give you complete confidence every time you use it. That's why every Golden Boat Lift is designed with exceptional engineering, premium materials, and meticulous attention to detail. The result is smooth, reliable operation, outstanding durability, and lasting protection for one of your most valuable investments. It's quality you can see, performance you can trust, and craftsmanship built to stand the test of time.

The Float-A-Vator® is a floating boat lift that raises your boat completely out of the water while remaining attached to a floating dock system. It is designed for waterfront properties where water levels change frequently, providing dependable protection for your boat without the need for a fixed lift.

A Float-A-Vator® is ideal for locations with significant tidal changes, reservoirs, fluctuating lake levels, or marinas with floating docks. Because the lift rises and falls with the dock, it maintains consistent performance regardless of changing water conditions while keeping your boat safely elevated above the water.

The Float-A-Vator® is available in a variety of lifting capacities and configurations to accommodate many types of recreational boats, including fishing boats, pontoons, deck boats, and center consoles. Golden Boat Lifts can recommend the appropriate model based on your boat's weight, dimensions, and hull design.

Keeping your boat out of the water helps reduce marine growth, algae buildup, corrosion, and hull staining while making cleaning and maintenance much easier. The Float-A-Vator® also provides quick, convenient launching and retrieval, helping extend the life of your boat and reducing long-term maintenance costs.
