Floating Lifts (Tide Rider)

A lift that rises and falls with the water, so you never adjust the height.

Floating Lifts (Tide Rider)

Authorized dealer We carry: Tide Rider, ShoreStation.

Why this, here

The Colorado River fluctuates. A Tide Rider floating lift moves with the water, so it stays right without constant adjusting.

Best for

  • Fluctuating river and reservoir levels
  • Anyone tired of adjusting a fixed lift's height
  • Colorado River, Parker Strip, and Lake Havasu slips

What we offer

  • Tide Rider, a floating lift partnered with ShoreStation.
  • Far fewer moving parts than older floating-lift designs, so there is less to service.
  • Ideal for fluctuating river and reservoir levels.
  • Canopy-ready, so your boat still gets the shade it needs.

Matched to your boat's size and weight, from runabouts to larger vessels. Tell us your boat and we spec it.

Not sure this is the one? Consider a conventional ShoreStation lift if your water level holds steady. On stable water a fixed lift is simpler and just as solid.

What it costs

Priced by boat size and setup. We will walk you through it and give you a real range.

Typically ready in 2 to 6 weeks. Nothing is final until we talk.

Before you decide

Questions people ask about floating lifts (tide rider).

Floating lift or fixed lift on the Colorado River?

On the Colorado River the water rises and falls, so a floating lift like the Tide Rider is usually the better choice: it moves with the water, so you never adjust the height. A fixed lift makes sense on stable water where the level holds.

Tide Rider or HydroHoist for a floating lift?

Both are floating lifts that ride the water. We carry the Tide Rider, a ShoreStation-partnered lift with far fewer moving parts than older floating designs, which means less to service over the years. The right pick comes down to your boat, your water, and who stands behind it locally.

How long does it take to get a boat lift or dock?

Plan on about two to six weeks. ShoreStation equipment is built in Iowa and shipped to Arizona, and the drive alone is around thirty hours, so we set that expectation up front rather than overpromise.
