Michigan Docks & Boat Lifts
Docks & Boat Lifts for Southwest Michigan
Beach Bumz Marine helps Michigan waterfront homeowners select, design, deliver, and install docks, boat lifts, floating docks, and drive-on systems — based on your boat, your shoreline, water depth, lake bottom, and how you actually use your waterfront.
Where to Start
Waterfront Equipment We Sell & Install
Four core categories cover most Southwest Michigan waterfronts. Start with the one closest to what you have in mind — we'll help sort out the details from there.
Docks
Sectional and roll-in dock systems configured around your shoreline, water depth, and lake bottom — with decking, width, and layout chosen to match how you use the water.
Explore Docks
Boat Lifts
Lifts sized to your boat's weight and hull, your water depth, and your bottom conditions — including canopy options to keep the boat protected between outings.
Explore Boat Lifts
Floating Docks
Modular floating layouts for changing water levels, soft bottoms, and irregular shorelines — expandable later as your waterfront needs change.
Explore Floating Docks
Drive-On Systems
Drive-on solutions for personal watercraft and compatible small boats, keeping them out of the water and easy to load and launch solo.

Every Waterfront Is Different
Working out of Paw Paw, we spend our seasons on Southwest Michigan lakes — largely across Van Buren, Kalamazoo, and Allegan counties and the surrounding lake communities.
The right dock or lift isn't a catalog decision. It depends on your boat, your shoreline, water depth, the lake bottom, how you get equipment to the water, seasonal water-level changes, and how you and your family use the waterfront. We'd rather ask those questions up front than fix a mismatch later.
Your Boat
Weight, hull shape, and beam drive lift capacity and dock layout more than anything else.
Water Depth & Level Changes
Depth at the end of your dock, and how much the lake moves through the season, shapes what works.
Shoreline & Lake Bottom
Sand, muck, gravel, or rock — bottom conditions and slope decide how a dock or lift is supported.
Access & Layout
How you get equipment to the water, and how much room you have to work with along the shoreline.
How You Use the Waterfront
Swimming, entertaining, kids, multiple boats, PWCs — the way you spend time on the water matters.
Delivery & Installation
We handle delivery and professional installation, so the plan on paper works on your shoreline.
