Where Florida still fishes for a living

Cortez is a treasure — one of the last working commercial fishing villages on Florida's Gulf coast, with weathered fish houses, working boats, and the FISH Preserve protecting the waterfront's natural edge. It's not polished and it's not trying to be. The docks here work for a living, and they have for generations.

Sarasota Bay laps at Cortez's shore — shallow, grassy, and rich with life. The waterfront is a mix of commercial fishing operations, seafood restaurants with dock-and-dine, and residential pockets where the old Florida cottages still stand. Every dock here has a job to do.

Working docks, built to work

Our Cortez work is the practical kind: sturdy boat docks that handle daily use, commercial-grade structures for waterfront businesses, repairs that keep working docks working, and fishing piers for the folks who fish these waters for fun and for dinner. We build with the same seriousness whether it's a commercial fish house dock or a cottage pier — because out here, a dock failure isn't an inconvenience, it's a lost day on the water.

The bay's shallows shape the engineering: docks often need length to reach depth, and the grass flats get real protection — we design with proper heights and footprints. And we build with respect for the village's character: a Cortez dock should look like it belongs in Cortez.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you build commercial docks for fishing operations?

Yes. Working waterfronts need heavier construction, practical layouts, and minimal downtime — we build and repair commercial docks with that reality, and we phase work so operations keep running.

Can you build a dock near the FISH Preserve?

The preserve protects Cortez's natural waterfront, and projects near it get appropriate environmental review. We design minimal-footprint docks and handle the permitting — it's routine work for this area.

My old cottage dock needs help. Repair or rebuild?

We see a lot of beloved old docks in Cortez. We test the structure honestly and give you both numbers — many are worth restoring, and when they're not, we show you exactly why.
