What Our New Dock Partnership Means for You: Building with precision. Evolving with purpose.

Some people build docks. We build destinations.
Because let’s be honest—your dock isn’t just where the boat lives. It’s where the weekend starts, the kids cannonball, and the cooler always seems to be just within reach.

At Marine Specialties, we’ve always believed that your dock should reflect your lifestyle, your shoreline, and your future plans. For over 30 years, we’ve delivered high-quality, custom-built docks that stand the test of time—and now, we’re expanding what’s possible.

We’re proud to announce our new partnership with Kroeger Marine, a premier dock manufacturer known for its craftsmanship, innovation, and precision engineering. This collaboration allows us to offer even more customization and design flexibility, while continuing to deliver the same trusted service and quality you’ve come to expect from Marine Specialties.

Why Kroeger? Why This Partnership?

Kroeger Marine has been building custom docks since 1985, with a cutting-edge facility in Seneca, South Carolina. Their in-house engineers and expert builders specialize in designing and building boat docks that are both structurally sound and beautifully designed for Southeastern lakes.

At Marine Specialties, we’re hands-on from start to finish. This partnership lets us stay involved in every stage—from materials and design to manufacturing and installation, ensuring quality at every step.

We chose Kroeger for their craftsmanship, innovation, and shared commitment to excellence. Together, we’re offering more customization, more flexibility, and more confidence in every dock we build.

Additionally, our team, notably Mac Powell, collaborates closely with Kroeger’s engineers, enabling us to communicate more efficiently, develop more innovative solutions, and design tailored solutions specifically for Georgia lakefront homeowners.

What’s New? Let’s Talk Customization.

We’re excited to bring a range of premium dock features to the Georgia market—some of which are made possible through our exclusive partnership with Kroeger Marine.

And here’s the best part: every upgrade is optional, and every design is flexible. Whether you’re dreaming big or working within a budget, we can tailor your dock to fit your needs and your price point, without sacrificing style. Even our most streamlined builds are beautiful, durable, and built to last.

1. 6-Inch Flared Ramp

A wider, more accessible entry point makes it easier to walk onto your dock with coolers, gear, or a handful of lake-day essentials. It’s a small upgrade that makes a big difference in everyday use.


Coolers in one hand, towels in the other—and still room to walk? Now that’s a dock upgrade.

2. 4-Sided Roof Rafters

These enclosed rafters add strength and deter birds and bugs from making your dock their summer home. Cleaner, sturdier, and way less squawking.

3. Long-Lasting PVC Decking

Our advanced PVC decking is designed for low-maintenance lake life:

• No staining, sealing, or oiling
• Water-resistant and splinter-free
• Won’t warp, crack, or split
• Fade-resistant
• Available in a wide range of colors

4. Post Wraps That Match Your Decking

Because your dock deserves to look as good as your lake house. These matching post wraps tie everything together with a clean, custom finish.

5. Storage Loft

Hang it up, not out.
This overhead storage rack keeps your rafts, tubes, and lake toys high and dry—literally. It’s the perfect way to declutter your dock without sacrificing floor space or style. Out of sight, but always within reach.

6. Cupola

Top off your dock with a little architectural flair.
Add a touch of class with a cupola, available in wood or metal to match your roof or accent your decking. It’s the cherry on top for hip and hip-and-a-half roofs, turning heads and raising property values one stylish peak at a time.

Still Local. Still Personal.

We’re proud to live and work in the same communities we serve. Our team understands the local lake regulations, including Corps of Engineers, Georgia Power, and TVA guidelines, and we’re here to help you navigate the process with ease.

“We don’t just build docks—we build the right dock for your lifestyle,” says Mac. “Every project is personal, and we treat it that way.”

Meet Mac Powell: Your Dock Design Partner

When you start a dock project with Marine Specialties, you’re not just getting a product—you’re getting a partner. Mac Powell, our New Docks Division Manager, brings years of experience in both boat lifts and dock construction. He joined Marine Specialties in 2021 and has worked closely with Kroeger Marine’s engineers and production leaders to ensure every dock is designed with precision and care.

Born and raised in the North Georgia mountains, Mac understands the lakes, the lifestyle, and the regulations that come with building on the water. From your first consultation to the final walkthrough, he’s there to make the process smooth, educational, and enjoyable.

“Every shoreline is different, and every customer has a unique vision,” Mac says. “My job is to help bring that vision to life—and make sure the dock we build fits your needs today and for years to come.”

Let’s build more than a dock. Let’s build your favorite place on the lake.

Whether you’re upgrading your current dock or starting from scratch, our team is here to help you design a space that’s both functional and stylish, built to last.

Serving the Southeast, including Lake Lanier, Lake Allatoona, Lake Oconee, Lake Sinclair, Lake Burton, Lake Blue Ridge, Lake Chatuge, Lake Nottely, and Lake Hartwell.
