Dock Wiring & Electrical Services We Offer
Dock Wiring
Saltwater, humidity, and constant exposure to the elements are brutal on electrical systems. Our dock wiring services are built around marine-grade materials, proper conduit protection, and code-compliant installations designed to withstand South Florida's coastal conditions. Whether you need new circuits run to your dock or a complete rewire of an outdated system, we handle it all with the attention to detail this environment demands.
Dock Building & Electrical Integration
Building a new dock? We handle both the construction and the electrical, so you're working with one team from the ground up rather than coordinating between separate contractors. Getting the structure and the electrical infrastructure planned together from the start means cleaner results, fewer delays, and a finished dock that's ready for inspection without the back-and-forth that comes with juggling multiple crews.
GFCI Protection for Marinas & Boaters
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection isn't optional near water, it's the law. More importantly, it's what stands between your family and a life-threatening electrical fault. We install and service GFCI systems for private docks, residential marinas, and commercial boating facilities throughout the Boynton Beach area, ensuring every outlet, panel, and circuit meets current NFPA 303 and NEC standards.
Electric Shock Drowning (ESD) Prevention
Electric Shock Drowning occurs when AC current leaks into the water around a dock, creating an electrical charge that can paralyze or kill a swimmer before anyone realizes what's happening. It's a silent hazard that's present anywhere faulty wiring exists near water. We conduct thorough electrical inspections of dock systems, specifically looking for leakage current, faulty bonding, and grounding deficiencies that put swimmers at risk.
Why Local Homeowners Trust Us with Their Docks
Boynton Beach sits along the Intracoastal Waterway with direct access to the Atlantic, and waterfront properties here range from modest canal homes in the Leisureville area to expansive estates along the Ocean Ridge barrier island. We've worked on docks across all of it, and we understand how salt air, tidal fluctuation, and South Florida's storm season affect electrical systems in ways that mainland electricians simply aren't prepared for.
Our technicians are licensed, insured, and experienced specifically with marine electrical work. We pull the proper permits, work with inspectors regularly, and don't take shortcuts that come back to haunt you during a resale inspection or, worse, during hurricane season.
Permits, Code Compliance & Inspections
Dock electrical work in Boynton Beach falls under both Palm Beach County and City of Boynton Beach permitting requirements. Projects must comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and NFPA 303, the standard specifically governing marinas and boatyards. Non-permitted work is not only a safety hazard, it can create serious liability issues and derail a real estate transaction.
We handle the permitting process from start to finish. You don't need to navigate the building department on your own; we've done it countless times and know exactly what's required to get your project approved and inspected without delays.
Signs Your Dock Electrical System Needs Attention
If any of the following sound familiar, it's time to call a marine electrician before the situation gets dangerous or expensive:
- You notice corrosion or discoloration around outlets, fixtures, or junction boxes on your dock
- Breakers on your dock circuit trip frequently or without an obvious cause
- Your GFCI outlets are more than a few years old and have never been tested or replaced
- You're experiencing flickering or intermittent lighting on your dock or boat
- You feel a tingling sensation when entering the water near your dock — exit immediately and call us
- Your dock was built more than 10 years ago and has never had a professional electrical inspection
- You're selling your property and need a dock electrical inspection for the buyer

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should dock wiring be inspected?
As a general best practice, docks benefit from a professional inspection once a year, as well as any time you notice a change in performance, take ownership of a property with an existing dock, or come through a significant weather event.
Is GFCI protection required on all dock outlets?
Under the NEC, GFCI protection is required for receptacles installed outdoors, in wet locations, and in boatyards and marinas. If your dock has standard outlets without GFCI protection, it's worth having a licensed marine electrician evaluate the system to determine what upgrades are needed to bring it into compliance.
Can you work with my existing dock builder or contractor?
Absolutely. We coordinate regularly with dock builders, marine contractors, and general contractors, and we also handle dock building ourselves if you'd prefer to work with a single team from start to finish.
What's the difference between a dock electrician and a regular electrician?
Marine electrical environments come with a specific set of challenges that call for specialized knowledge, materials, and code familiarity. NFPA 303 governs marinas and boatyards specifically, and proper bonding and grounding practices in these environments go well beyond standard electrical work.
