The Heart of Your Summer
On Georgian Bay, the dock is more than just a place to park your boat. It's where you drink your morning coffee, where the kids learn to swim, and where you watch the sunset with friends. It's the center of cottage life.
But the Bay can be unforgiving. Fluctuating water levels, massive ice sheets, and autumn gales put immense stress on your waterfront infrastructure. Keeping your dock safe, level, and secure requires knowledge of the local waters and the right equipment.

Waterfront Reviews
"Our dock broke loose during a storm last November. The Carling Cottage Care team went out in the freezing cold to retrieve it and secure it before it hit the rocks. They saved us thousands in damage."
