AquaDock

The AquaDock is a great solution for those who desire Dry Storage, but have water depth that prohibits the use of a pneumatic boat lift.

The AquaDock Docking Platform lets you protect your craft and still enjoy fast, convenient access to the water. Just drive on to load and power off to launch. It's that simple.

The new AquaDockAA (Air Assist Series) is ideal solution for NZ’s popular jet-powered boats. The AquaDock has historically been passive; relying on the power of the boat to get itself on top – and off. The new Air Assist Series expands the types of boats served to include those propelled by a pump. Up till now with passive platforms, jet boats could easily load, but with the pump clear of the water, were unable to develop thrust to launch. The AquaDock AA Series is a hybrid in that it brings an “active” aft platform to this normally passive design. At launch time, the aft platform is flooded and hinges allowing the pump to be lowered into the tide where its’ thrust can be reversed to launch the hull.

Further, the AquaDock is designed with discretion in mind – its’ low-profile design is invisible to the public as they look across the horizon, leaving the marina grade unchanged.

The AquaDock AA uses a solar-powered pump to elevate the aft platform eliminating the need to connect to mains power – providing the boater yet more freedom. Ultimately, HydroHoist products preserve resale value, maximize fuel economy and hull speed and significantly reduce boat maintenance. Peace-of-mind is delivered in the simplest possible solution.
