Great Northern Docks

GREAT NORTHERN DOCKS SPECIALTY - Great Northern Docks specializes in the highest quality custom boat docks designed for the harsh conditions of the New England Waterfront. We have a complete line of turn-key boat docks and boat dock hardware for the do-it-yourself market. We also stock standard pre-built wood or aluminum dock sections for the weekend warrior who wants it all ready to install as a weekend project. At Great Northern Docks showrooms and on this website we also carry a large variety of boat dock supplies and accessories.

GREAT NORTHERN DOCKS GREATEST ADVANTAGE - One of the greatest advantages of our stationary dock systems is the ability to drive pipe into the ground for a solid stable platform. The legs are cut from affordable galvanized water pipe. Aluminum pipe is available at no extra charge. These platforms are often stable enough to eliminate the need for a boat lift. Consult one of our dock professionals before making a decision on securing your boat. We do sell aluminum boat lifts and plastic drive-on boat lifts for situations that require removing your boat from the water.

DOCK HARDWARE CHOICES - We have a tough line of galvanized marine dock hardware suitable for small to medium size lakes and rivers and even some of the largest lakes. We also make a heavy duty line of galvanized hardware built for the rough tidal shores and large lakes like Moosehead Lake, Sebago Lake, and Lake Winnipesaukee. We even manufacture an extra-heavy duty line of boat dock hardware for ocean waters or the Great Lakes, and a line of floating dock hardware that is stronger than any other dock hardware commercially available at this time. Our heavy duty lines of hardware are stocked at our Portland, Maine distribution center (Custom Float Services). These can be sent to our other showrooms usually on a day's notice.

ALUMINUM DOCKS - We also manufacture, distribute, and retail a line of aluminum boat docks. Our aluminum docks are built from 6000 series marine grade aluminum. We use custom aluminum extrusions in our dock construction, designed by our engineers for ease of dock installation, and simple additions of dock accessories, like bumpers, benches, mooring whips, and dock wheels. We build two grades of aluminum docks: Dura-Lite and Feather-Lite aluminum docks. Both models of boat docks are designed for easy setup, simple installation and removal.

Looking for an EZ dock to install? Look at our Feather-Lite 4x10 aluminum boat dock sections with a 65lb frame weight. They are tough, yet easy to handle. The 5" tall frame is stronger than most comparably priced docks, and the use of standard pipe for legs will save you money over competing square leg docks. The use of pipe will also allow you to drive the legs into the ground, increasing the stability of your boat dock and provide a more secure tie-up.

Our Dura-Lite aluminum docks are even stronger with a 6" tall tubular frame and they feature removable deck panels and multiple sizes. The Dura-Lite dock is also designed for ease of adding accessories like dock cleats, or a mooring whip.

DOCK COMPANY COMPARISONS - Great Northern Docks is the number one boat dock supply store in Northern New England. We have more dock planning expertise than any other dock sales outfit in Maine. Because we take the product from design through manufacturing, all the way to installation, we are vertically integrated. This has enabled us to constantly improve our products and services over the past 30 years.

When it comes to price, we are very competitive and we carry a wide enough product range to accommodate all budgets. When it comes to reputation, if you live in Southern Maine, we suggest you talk to a neighbor who has one of our docks. When it comes to stability, we've been building docks for 30 years, and are positioned as a strong, second generation family owned and business. When it comes to professionalism, our sales staff is the most knowledgeable in the application of residential docks and boat moorings in the Lake Region Area of Southern Maine. Our engineers are also experienced in the construction of large-scale commercial systems. We take a thoughtful, engineered approach to every dock system we design. We take accurate water depth measurements and survey bottom conditions to ensure your system will go in right. Many other companies stand on the shore and guess the water depth. Don't be fooled by this approach. Water depths appear different depending on the clarity of the water, and these companies frequently under estimate deeper waters while missing critical details like bottom hardness and large boulders in the boating path.
