Waterfront property on Fort Myers Beach depends on more than the house. Docks, seawalls, boat lifts and shoreline structures all take a beating from storms and salt water. Many were destroyed in Hurricane Ian. Miniopolis LLC coordinates marine construction on the island through our network of licensed marine contractor partners. If you’re also building or rebuilding your home, we manage both projects together.
Marine construction is performed by licensed marine contractors in the Miniopolis partner network and coordinated by Miniopolis LLC as your general contractor.
Marine Services We Coordinate
- Docks — new docks, dock replacement and repair. See dock builder.
- Boat lifts — new lifts, replacements and upgrades. See boat lifts.

- Pilings and piers — piling replacement and pier structures.
- Davits and accessories — kayak launches, ladders, lighting and power pedestals.
Why Coordinate Marine Work With Your Home Build?
On the island, house and shoreline work often share access, equipment, permits and schedules. A seawall problem can affect your foundation plan, and a dock rebuild may have to wait for heavy equipment to leave the lot. With one general contractor coordinating both, the work happens in the right order and nothing falls through the cracks.
Permits for Work on the Water
Marine construction can require approvals from the Town of Fort Myers Beach and Lee County. Depending on the project, it may also need state and federal environmental permits. Our partners handle marine permitting and environmental requirements, and we keep the whole project on one schedule.

Yes. We can coordinate a stand-alone dock, lift or seawall project through our marine partners.
