Choosing a Jet Ski Dock in Perth and Mandurah
If you keep a jet ski at a canal home or a private jetty in Perth or Mandurah, the choice is usually between a dock that keeps the ski on the water at your berth and a trailer and a ramp every time you ride. This guide sets out what WS Docks offers for jet skis, in the words and price on its own website, and the questions worth asking before you buy any jet ski dock.
What jet ski dock does WS Docks offer in Perth and Mandurah?
WS Docks lists one dock built for a jet ski: the jet ski dock, priced at $3,000 on their services page. Their own description says it protects a jetski from the harsh salt water environment and keeps it in the water for fun and adventure all year round.
WS Docks is based in Mandurah, with a workshop at Unit 1, 44 Panton Road, Greenfields, and their About page says they bring the product to boat owners across Western Australia and Queensland, including the Gold Coast. Ask what the listed price includes for your berth.
What is the dock made of?
WS Docks describes its docks as built with HDPE blocks engineered to withstand Australia’s harsh elements, custom brackets designed to withstand the toughest conditions, and bracing capable of supporting excess weight. They say they have partnered with some of the finest fabricators and rope splicing experts in Australia.
Those are their own descriptions of what goes into a dock. If you are comparing a jet ski dock from another supplier, ask that supplier the same plain question: what is it made of, and what holds it together?
What should you ask before choosing a jet ski dock?
Whoever you buy from, these questions make two quotes comparable:
- What exactly is included in the price for my berth?
- How will the dock be mounted at my berth, and what are the options?
- What warranty comes with it, and what does the warranty cover?
- Who carries out repairs if something is damaged later?
- Can the dock take a second craft later, or would that be a separate dock?
For WS Docks, some answers are on record. Their home page carries a 2 year warranty guarantee, and dock repairs are one of their listed services. On mounting, the quote form on each of their dock pages offers three options to choose from: roping, fixed jetty brackets or floating jetty brackets. Ask them which suits your berth.
What does the quote form ask for?
The quote form on the WS Docks jet ski dock page asks where you are located (Western Australia, East Coast or International), the location of the dock, the length and beam of the craft, its make and model, and the mounting option. Having those details ready before you get in touch means the first conversation can be about your berth rather than about the basics.
Their site also says “We reply within 24 hrs” to email. One customer’s Google review on their home page says they “got back to me within a few hours of receiving my email and were able to quote my dock the next day”.
Jet ski and boat at the same berth?
Plenty of households keep a jet ski beside a boat. WS Docks lists separate docks by boat weight, from a small boat dock for boats up to 1.5 tonne at $5,000 to a large boat dock for 2.5 to 5 tonne at $16,000, alongside the jet ski dock at $3,000.
One customer’s Google review describes a single floating dock that “accommodates the boat, JetSki and plenty of room for the SUP’s and canoes”, and says “the inflation system is easy to use making it super convenient to get the boat on and off”. That is one customer’s own dock; if you want both craft at one berth, say so when you ask for a quote so it can be priced as one job.
Salt water and antifoul
Protection from salt water is the point of every dock on the WS Docks services page, and their home page claims “$1000s saved in antifoul per year”. That is their claim across their docks, not a number worked out for a jet ski. If running costs matter to your decision, ask how it applies to a craft like yours.
