Your waterfront should be more than just a place to tie up a boat. It should be a space to relax, entertain, and enjoy the outdoors. Whether you're starting with a new dock or upgrading an existing one, there are plenty of creative add-ons and accessories to help you make the most of it.
At NyDock, we build floating docks that are not only durable and low maintenance, but also endlessly customizable. Below, we’re sharing some of the coolest dock ideas to elevate your waterfront living experience. Including must-have add-ons like floating hammocks, picnic tables, dog ramps, kayak launches, and more.

Perfect for sunbathing, stargazing, or an afternoon nap with the gentle movement of the lake beneath you.
2. Dock Picnic Tables: Dine on the Water
