Welcome to Summit Marine

Design and manufacture the best hydraulic boat lift on the market - anywhere.

Founded in 1989, our mission was simple – design the best hydraulic boat lift on the market - anywhere. It all began in 1986 with the Genesis Sea Lift, a portable, cable-free, fully hydraulic system powered by a 12-volt battery. This innovative design was easier to install and more efficient than the winch and cable systems that came before it. The Genesis Sea Lift debuted at the Grand Rapids Boat Show in 1990 and again at IMTEC in 1992, setting the standard for modern boat lifts.


Today, we’re proud to be a leading name in boat lifts, canopies, and docks. Our products are built to enhance your boating experience with reliable, easy-to-use solutions that stand the test of time. We’ve come a long way since those early days, and we continue to innovate, providing top-quality lifts and dock systems for waterfront properties everywhere.
