TideRider Float Lift

When drive-on won't work — the most versatile floating boat lift on the market

The TideRider Float Lift (by Tidewater Marine) is our specialty solution for boats that can't use a drive-on port — inboards with the prop underneath (ski boats, wake boats), vessels heavier than the Extreme X32's 10,000+ lb rating, or boats longer than 34'. One-button operation, auto-leveling, and a low-profile design that floats with the tide.

  • Built for inboards, ski/wake boats, and prop-down vessels
  • Handles boats heavier than the Extreme X32 (10,000+ lb) range
  • Fits vessels longer than 34' — beyond drive-on territory
  • One-button operation with auto-leveling
  • Mobile app, smartwatch, and remote control
  • Full-length walkways for safe boarding & disembarking
  • Floats with the tide — no fixed pilings required

Why the TideRider Float Lift

Cradle-style design works for inboard, I/O, and prop-down hulls that can't drive on.

Heavy-Capacity

Built for vessels beyond the X32's 10,000+ lb / 34' drive-on limits.

One-Button Operation

Auto-leveling, mobile app, smartwatch, and remote — up or down with one tap.

Full-Length Walkways

Safer boarding and disembarking for guests, kids, and limited-mobility users.

Low-Profile Design

Sleek footprint that doesn't block your view of the water.

About the TideRider Float Lift

While our Wave Armor drive-on ports cover the vast majority of Florida outboards from 17' all the way up to 34'+, there are boats that simply can't drive on — and that's where the TideRider Float Lift comes in. Inboard-powered vessels (ski boats, wake boats, traditional inboards) have props mounted underneath the hull and can't tolerate the gradual-slope entrance of a drive-on platform. Boats heavier than the Extreme X32's 10,000+ lb capacity rating need more lifting force. And vessels longer than 34' fall outside the drive-on size envelope entirely. The TideRider solves all three. It's a true floating lift built by Tidewater Marine on Florida's Treasure Coast, engineered to rise and fall with the tide while securely cradling your boat. One-button up/down operation with auto-leveling makes it idiot-proof. A mobile app, smartwatch app, and remote control give you full control from anywhere on the property. Full-length walkways on both sides make boarding and disembarking safe and effortless — a major upgrade for guests, kids, and anyone with limited mobility. We install TideRider lifts whenever drive-on isn't viable, and pair them with our floating dock systems for a complete waterfront solution.
