A deployable boat docking system eases the boat docking process, particularly when just one person is docking the boat. The boat docking system includes a frame that is coupled to a dock, and an arresting panel, such as a net, that is attached to the frame. During the boat docking process, the net captures the boat by receiving a protrusion that is attached to the boat. The boat docking system then holds the captured boat in close proximity to the dock to allow the boat's operator to secure the boat to the dock through secondary means, such as tying the boat to the dock with a rope.

A weight distribution and stiffening system is provided for modular floating platforms by creating internal channels that allow for the incorporation of stiffening members within the modular floating platform assembly. Float modules with horizontal recessed areas that are aligned with adjacent float modules to create open channels within the body of a modular floating platform.

A ground mounting assembly includes one or a plurality of posts, each attached to at least one stabilizing plate or scoop pyramid. The post may be driven into the ground and then lifted to deploy plates into a locking mechanism, or driven into the ground by a pile driver with plate held in place, released, and driven further and deployed into a locking mechanism, or driven into the ground and double pounded inside the post to drive reinforcing plate into slotted winglets, or driven, double pounded and rotated to extend the reinforcing plates horizontally from the pole or pile. The post also can used as a mooring in harbors, lakes, or at sea. A system based on a double pounder pile driven mono pole, optionally extendable in length, is also described.

A mooring device for mooring a water craft to a mooring berth. The mooring device includes an engaging element borne by the water craft or the mooring berth, and a lock borne by the mooring berth or the water craft, respectively. The lock includes two catch bars spaced out and extending vertically, at least a part of the engaging element being adapted to engaging between the two bars so as to be held by the lock and enabling the mooring of the water craft to the mooring berth. The catch bars are mobile relative to each other between a locking position in which the catch bars are brought closer to each other and maintain the engaging element and an unlocking position in which the catch bars are moved apart to enable the removal or insertion of the engaging element.

A single mount, dock supported hammock frame that is removably securable to a pre-existing dock post. A first end of the hammock frame is configured to pivot about the connection with the dock post. A hammock can then be secured to opposing ends of the frame and positioned over a body of water near the dock when in use. The frame rises vertically from the dock and horizontally away from the mounting post to secure a hammock from above the hammock, allowing the hammock to freely swing over the water surface.

A remote controlled lighted mooring beacon is adapted to be secured to a mooring site. The beacon may include various features, such as a central shaft, a ballast at the base of the shaft containing at least one power source, a float, an electronics package having a receiver that responds to a wireless code for generating an activation signal, and a 360 degree viewable high intensity light source.

A structure includes a bracket and a vertical member. The vertical member includes a vertical member top end and a vertical member bottom end. The vertical member is affixed to the bracket. The structure further includes at least one bumper. The at least one bumper is affixed to the vertical member bottom end via a bumper connecting structure. The structure further includes an arm member. The arm member includes an arm member first end and an arm member second end. The arm member second end is affixed to the vertical member top end. In another aspect, a structure includes a support, and affixed to the support, a bracket. The structure further includes, affixed to the support via a bumper connecting structure, at least one bumper. The structure further includes, affixed to the support, an arm member.
