See what we’ve built for waterfront owners

Cantilever Waterfront Terrace Project

The homeowners wanted to transform an underutilized poolside waterfront area into a true outdoor living and entertainment destination. Prior to the renovation, the property had minimal usable space near the water beyond a basic shoreline and existing dock.

Illuminated Harbor Project

This neighboring waterfront project was completed during an active hurricane season and became a real-world demonstration of Bay & Key’s storm-resilient construction methods.

Storm-Resilient Waterfront Project

After multiple hurricanes destroyed the homeowner’s recently built dock, the client sought a long-term hurricane-resilient solution after seeing a neighboring Bay & Key dock survive severe storm conditions with minimal impact.

Estate Boardwalk Project

Completed alongside a new luxury home build by Whitehead Construction, Inc., this project required close collaboration with the builder and homeowners to align the dock design with the architecture, landscape plans, and long-term waterfront usage goals.

Watersports Retreat Project

The snowbird homeowners wanted a clean and efficient waterfront setup, focused on boating access, watersports, and minimal maintenance while spending much of the year outside of Florida, which also required stabilizing their shoreline with a new seawall.

Seawall Restoration Project

This project involved a complete seawall and dock transformation to modernize the property’s waterfront while minimizing disruption to the surrounding landscape. The homeowners selected a synthetic decking system to achieve a low-maintenance waterfront solution..

The Voices Of The Coast

A collection of shared experiences from those who have realized their vision with Bay & Key.

“The quality, the process, and the follow-through were phenomenal. From permitting all the way through delivery, they made everything seamless. Even after major storms put our dock underwater, the craftsmanship held up beautifully — and the team still came out afterward to help clean, restore, and secure everything. That level of care is rare.”

Jeff Jackson, Customer, Bird Key ,Sarasota, FL

“I live on an open bay, so our dock takes a beating from waves, storms, and heavy boat traffic. Since rebuilding with Bay & Key, the dock has been solid as a rock. The quality of materials, craftsmanship, and thoughtful design improvements gave us a level of confidence and security we didn’t have before.”

“Go look at their workmanship — it speaks for itself.”

Lou DiNardo, Customer, Bird Key ,Sarasota, FL

“From the very first meeting that I had with Jim and Stewart and the team over at Bay and Key, it was clear what was important to them. They have a very high standard for quality, and it was apparent that there was going to be an easy alignment that occurred between Bay and Key and Trinity. To both of our teams, it’s very important to us that not only are we delighting our clients, but that we’re putting out the highest quality product possible.”

Jesse Cocozza,Vice President of Trinity Custom Homes

“If anyone was hesitant in any way, I would say look at a Bay and Key dock as an investment. That is going to be the superior choice, especially over time. Buy quality, buy something that’s going to last, that’s going to look great, that’s going to be supported by a great company.”

David LeLand, Customer, Sarasota, FL

“They really helped me have my vision come to fruition and made sure I had everything that I wanted. All the ideas that I had in my head, they were able to get out on paper, and draft it up for me to walk through it. They use high quality technology and state of the art architectural drawings to help me envision it. I felt very confident about what I was agreeing to, what I was signing up for, and they definitely delivered”

Rogan Donald, Customer, Bird Key, Sarasota, FL

Why us

Built on Quality

Add safety and ambiance

LED lighting systems keep your dock visible at night and create the atmosphere you want. Weatherproof fixtures handle salt spray and moisture.

Protect your vessel

A quality boat lift keeps your boat out of the water when not in use. This extends the life of your hull and makes maintenance easier.

Make it a gathering place

Built-in seating or a lounge area turns your dock into a destination. We can integrate benches, railings, and shade structures.

Keep gear organized

Integrated storage boxes keep ropes, fenders, and maintenance supplies within reach. Built-in compartments stay dry and secure.
