Dock Lines

Traveling dock lines are measured and custom-made to travel with the boat.

Stationary dock lines include, bow line, stern lines, fore-and-aft spring lines, mooring pennants, and chain shackled to the dock where applicable. Bow catchers are optional. All stationary dock lines are custom-made to fit your boat based on cleat size, size of slip, location of boat in the slip, and location of dockside cleats or ring bolts.

For customers in the Sheboygan/Manitowoc County area, we will properly place your boat in your slip, take all required measurements, produce and install dock lines for an additional charge. Please request a price quote. For customers in other areas, please contact us and we will explain which measurements are required. Customers are responsible for providing accurate measurements.
