Snap Dock’s Snap Port lineup is unlike any PWC Port in the industry. Our two-piece design, adjustable rollers, and soft wheels will protect your watercraft hull

When it comes to launching, docking, or storing your watercraft, not all floating drive-on PWC (personal watercraft) lift systems are created equal. Snap Dock’s Snap Port lineup is designed to deliver a smooth, low-impact experience that protects your watercraft and makes your life easier. With our modular two-piece design and patented coupler system, each port offers versatility and stability. Adjustable rollers and soft-impact wheels let your PWC glide on and off with minimal effort and maximum protection, enhancing both performance and convenience with every launch. Whether it’s for daily use or long-term storage, Snap Dock delivers the reliability and ease that watercraft owners expect.

“The idea started with the two-piece design. We knew we wanted something modular. From there, it became clear we needed a flexible coupler system that would let the entry section flex just enough to soften the drive-on experience. That’s what really sets it apart from the stiff, jarring feel of a one-piece port.”
— Blake Elder, President and Founder of Snap Dock

Reimagining the PWC Port: Introducing the Two-Piece Design

The vision was clear, but the path forward was not. Before the launch of our Snap Port lineup, the market only offered rigid, one-piece PWC lifts. The Snap Dock team saw an opportunity to create something better: a modular, two-piece design that would redefine the user experience.

This innovation wasn’t just about splitting the structure; it was about elevating performance. By incorporating Snap Dock’s patented flexible coupler, originally engineered to absorb movement and withstand dynamic forces in rough water conditions, the two-piece Snap Port was designed to provide a smoother entry and exit. This added flexibility helped reduce rider impact and minimized stress on the PWC hull, enhancing both comfort and long-term durability for users of all skill levels.

The Patented Coupler System: A Game Changer

This focus on performance depended on three key factors: resilience, strength, and flexibility. To meet these goals, our team experimented with various materials. The result was a durable rubber composite that not only delivers high-quality performance, but it also features a seamless color match with Snap Dock’s floating dock and PWC port system, and materials that allow it to float for easy retrieval if dropped in the water. The coupler system, now patented, connects the port front and entrance sections of the Snap Port, allowing controlled movement that softens the user’s drive-on experience. This flexibility reduces the jarring impact typical of one-piece lifts, helping protect the PWC hull from long-term stress while offering a smooth docking experience for riders of any skill level.

The Adjustable Roller for Customized Hull Support

Complementing the smooth drive-on capabilities provided by the coupler system is another key innovation found throughout the Snap Port lineup — the adjustable roller assembly. Each assembly consists of a stainless-steel axle, a cobalt blue soft-impact wheel, removable black spacers, and plugs that secure the assembly into the roller pockets. Designed to adjust to a wide range of PWC hull geometries, the assembly can be fine-tuned by repositioning the spacers along either side of the wheel to shift its placement laterally. This modular flexibility ensures each roller can be aligned precisely where support is needed, accommodating everything from compact recreational watercraft to larger three-seater performance models.

The Wheel that Makes the Difference

At the heart of the assembly is the cobalt blue soft-impact wheel, a dual-structured component that combines a rigid plastic core with a soft yet durable outer material. This wheel is the primary point of contact with the watercraft hull, reducing friction and preventing surface damage during both entry and exit. Unlike other systems on the market, which use harder roller materials that increase the risk of scuffing and structural wear over time, Snap Dock’s rolling design offers a frictionless glide path. The result is a cushioned, controlled experience that distributes weight evenly, minimizes impact, and enhances overall docking performance, even with frequent use and in varying water conditions.

A Smarter, More User-Focused PWC Port Solution

Snap Dock doesn’t just offer an improved port — it redefines what a PWC lift system should be. The Snap Dock engineering team didn’t just challenge the limits of traditional one-piece ports; they built a best-in-class lineup that delivers superior performance, long-term durability, and adaptability. Through its modular design, patented flexible coupler system, and adjustable roller assembly with integrated soft-impact wheels, Snap Dock has built a smarter and more user-focused solution that stands out in every category. Whether you’re a weekend rider, a marina operator, or a dealer looking to offer an exceptional product, the Snap Port lineup sets a new standard. After all, we believe every rider deserves to live their best life on the water
