Advanced technology and minimalist design

Visualise using your boat like your car with the unmatched speed, security, versatility and ease of use of the Sunstream FloatLift™. Powerful hydraulics pull the foam-filled polyethylene floats under the boat in as little as 30 seconds with the simple press of a remote control. In the raised position, the virtually unsinkable floats are automatically secured with patented GravityLock™. The floats also make it easy to access your hull and prop for cleaning and maintenance.

Simply tie the FloatLift™ to most places you can tie your boat: slips, side-ties or even a mooring buoy. The DC system can be charged using either the solar or AC powered options. The standard rear guides and remote control make docking incredibly easy.

The FloatLift™ is designed for fresh or salt water, with an aluminum frame, stainless steel hardware, marine grade hydraulic cylinders with stainless shafts, and marine grade hoses. The rubber-capped SuperBunks™ are not only durable, but provide the ultimate in cushioned support for your hull

Floatlift FAQ

Is my boat really out of the water?

Yes.

FloatLift keeps the hull of your boat above the water level.

Can I flush my motors in the FloatLift?

Yes.

When raised, the floats provide a walking platform to easily access engines and the hull.

Why shouldn't I antifoul my boat?

Antifouling paints contain many toxic chemicals. This process is not environmentally friendly and it’s actually not the best solution against marine and barnacle growth. The paint also needs to be removed and reapplied at least once a year and reduces boat performance.

Dry docking solutions offered by DOCKPRO reduce maintenance costs, ensure original boat performance and also increase the resale value.

Can I walk on the FloatLift?

Yes.

When the FloatLift is in a raised position it is safe to walk on.

How long has Sunstream been around?

Sunstream invented the first hydraulic boat lift in 1996 and then became the global industry leader.

What maintenance is required?

To maintain the constructor warranty, it is mandatory to service your FloatLift every 12 months.

Can my FloatLift be insured?

Yes.

Most major insurance companies list the Floatlift as an accessory of the boat.
