What makes a Kroeger Marine dock different?

It’s decades of experience, thoughtful engineering, and a dock built specifically for life on Southeastern lakes.

Kroeger Marine has been engineering docks since 1985, continually refining their designs to meet the demands of today’s boats, lake traffic, wind, and waterfront lifestyles.

Marine Specialties has been serving lake homeowners since 1988, working with each customer to design the right dock for their property, then building and installing it with care.

From Kroeger’s rigid understructure to premium roofing, decking, floats, and custom options, every detail is designed with strength, longevity, and the way you live on the water in mind.

It’s all about helping you invest in the right dock, one you’ll be proud to own and confident will serve you well for years to come.
That’s the difference decades of experience makes.

Five years of docks, problem-solving, expert shoreline solutions, and plenty of time on the water, help us celebrate Mac Powell’s anniversary with Marine Specialties! 🎉

Mac is part dock salesman, part custom dock designer, part shoreline problem-solver, and part unofficial entertainment department. He’s our go-to expert for new dock projects, knows dock accessories inside and out, and keeps the process fun—just the way it should be.

We’re grateful for the knowledge, creativity, humor, and personality Mac has brought to the Marine Specialties team over the past five years. Drop a comment and help us congratulate him! 👏⚓

Erosion isn’t dramatic. It’s a few inches a year, until the ground you used to stand on is somewhere in the lake.

This shoreline was graded and protected with rip rap where the water does the most work, helping hold the shoreline in place through boat wake, changing water levels, and storms.

We also built new steps designed to Corps of Engineers specifications and tailored to how this family actually accesses the water.

Same lot. Very different next ten years.

Built for lake days, not maintenance weekends.

This new 32' x 32' Kroeger Marine double-slip dock with sundeck was custom designed with the homeowner by the Marine Specialties team, right down to the finishes.

Powder-coated railings and posts give it a sleek, timeless look, while TimberTech PVC decking delivers the warmth and woodgrain appearance of traditional decking without the sanding, staining, or sealing.

Every detail was selected to complement the home, suit the waterfront, and make the dock easier to enjoy for years to come.

Another Lake Keowee boat is officially spending less time sitting in the water.

Our Marine Specialties team recently installed this new HydroHoist boat lift for a customer, giving them an easier way to keep their boat protected, clean and ready for the next trip out.

No complicated routine—just pull into the slip, raise the lift and know the boat is taken care of until it’s time to head back out.

A practical upgrade that makes owning a boat on Lake Keowee a little easier.
