About Us
Wahoo Docks is the leading floating aluminum dock manufacturer in North America, known for creating top quality aluminum docks, gangways, bridges, and more. We have been building commercial and residential dock systems for over three decades, spending the last fifteen years focused on our heavy framed aluminum dock design with an emphasis on strength, durability, aesthetic appeal, and low maintenance. All residential docks are sold exclusively through a network of dealers, consisting of the most talented dock professionals in the industry, while commercial and marina projects are handled from our headquarters in Dahlonega, Georgia.
“When we started Wahoo Docks, our mission was to develop aluminum docks of unmatched quality with an emphasis on strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal. We wanted our boat docks to be low maintenance and our boat dock accessories… to be top-of-the-line. Today, we’ve achieved that goal. You simply will not find a stronger or more beautiful dock anywhere else.”
Why Aluminum?
Aluminum naturally reacts with oxygen to create a tough yet durable coating, preventing further oxidation and increasing longevity. This allows Wahoo Docks to strengthen with time.
The marine grade aluminum used has excellent mechanical properties, including a tensile strength similar to that of steel while being lighter weight, therefore requiring less flotation.
By working directly with our upstream mills, we are able to create purpose-built, distinctively engineered designs. Such customization is not possible with our competition who rely on standard i-beam, c-channel, or bar joist construction.
At Wahoo, we have over 45 patented and proprietary extrusions, castings, and assemblies that allow us to design our docks for ideal strength, appearance, and longevity in a cost-efficient manner.
Since uniting efforts in 2018, Wahoo Docks and Meeco Sullivan are proud to provide customers with access to aluminum, galvanized steel, and timber dock systems.
Whether you buy a small platform dock for your pond or a large coastal marina, all our docks are manufactured on the same production floor and held to the same strict guidelines for quality and construction.
We build more than just private docks…
Marine Construction
Wahoo Docks has built commercial marine facilities and wave attenuators all around the world, from the arctic climates of Canada to tropical climates of the Caribbean.
Kayak & Rowing Docks
Wahoo Docks has produced many rowing docks for private and commercial use, distinguished with easy access platforms, low freeboard, and often optioned with kayak launches.
Public Access Docks
Every year, Wahoo Docks collaborates with organizations to design and install public access docks, meeting the requirements for handicap access and high traffic use.
Community Docks
Whether it is a series of private docks for waterfront homes or community marinas, Wahoo Docks can build them all.
Floating Buildings
Stores, offices, cabins, and boat houses; Wahoo Docks has built numerous floating buildings for many different purposes.
Gangways & Bridges
Wahoo’s aluminum bridges and gangways offer a variety of widths and lengths, while being capable of supporting the weight of a car.
Aluminum is the most common metal,
comprising 8% of the Earth’s crust.
Recycling aluminum only uses 5% of the
engergy required for extracting the metal.
Wahoo Docks is run by engineers and we work closely with our clients to understand their objectives and needs.
Through extensive research and development, advanced engineering principles, and decades of marine experience, Wahoo Docks has created our patented dock systems with over 45 proprietary castings.
You may find pieces of our patented designs on competitor’s aluminum docks, but only a Wahoo Dock includes the primary facets and benefits of our full design.
“Don’t be fooled by imitators on such a major investment. Only a Wahoo aluminum floating dock will include our patented boat dock features.”
