Hickcox Brothers Marine

Family-owned and operated from their Cape Coral facility, Hickcox Brothers Marine has established a solid reputation throughout Southwest Florida for custom marine construction focused on docks, seawalls, and boat lift installations. The company serves waterfront property owners across Lee County and surrounding coastal communities, including Fort Myers, Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel Island, and Pine Island, bringing decades of combined experience to residential and commercial marine construction projects.

Their core services span the full spectrum of waterfront infrastructure needs. Custom dock design and construction form the foundation of their work, with capabilities ranging from fixed wooden docks to floating dock systems tailored to specific waterfront configurations and tidal conditions. Boat lift sales and installation represent another major service area, with the team working with leading manufacturers to specify and install lifting systems appropriate for vessel size, water depth, and canal dimensions common throughout the Cape Coral waterway system. Seawall construction and repair services address the critical need for shoreline stabilization in Southwest Florida's canal communities, where erosion control directly impacts property values and long-term waterfront access.

The team at Hickcox Brothers Marine brings particular expertise in navigating Lee County's permitting requirements and environmental regulations governing marine construction. This local knowledge proves essential when obtaining the necessary approvals for dock extensions, seawall modifications, and new boat lift installations in environmentally sensitive coastal zones. Their familiarity with Southwest Florida's unique conditions—saltwater exposure, intense UV radiation, tropical storm threats, and fluctuating water levels—informs their material selection and construction techniques. Marine-grade lumber, corrosion-resistant hardware, and properly sized pilings form the basis of structures designed to withstand the region's demanding marine environment.

Hickcox Brothers Marine handles projects of varying scale, from single-slip residential docks to more complex multi-slip configurations with electrical service, water hookups, and integrated fish cleaning stations. Their dock repair and renovation services extend the functional life of existing structures, addressing common issues like rotted decking, damaged pilings, and deteriorated seawalls before minor problems escalate into major reconstruction projects. The company's approach emphasizes personalized consultation, working directly with property owners to balance functionality, aesthetics, budget considerations, and HOA requirements where applicable.

Operating from their Cape Coral location gives Hickcox Brothers Marine direct access to the region's extensive network of canals and waterways, an area that represents one of Florida's densest concentrations of waterfront properties. Their portfolio includes hundreds of completed installations throughout the Cape Coral canal system, Fort Myers area waterways, and barrier island communities, building a track record visible throughout Southwest Florida's residential boating infrastructure. As waterfront development continues across Lee County and demand grows for quality marine construction that balances durability with environmental responsibility, Hickcox Brothers Marine remains positioned as an established local resource for property owners seeking experienced dock, seawall, and boat lift specialists.
