Market Prices for Private Dock Spaces This usually ranges from $30 to $150 per foot per month. These spaces are priced at a premium to account for their locations and amenities such as stores and restaurants. As a private dock owner, your space is best offered at a discount since you can't provide these amenities.
Docks typically last around 20-30 years at most, and if there has been little maintenance done in that time, then it's probably necessary replacement rather than repair. all docks are not made alike, and the dock materials and craftmanship will greatly influence the lifespan of your dock. But the signs will be there.
