01
Docks
New dock builds, dock repair, framing upgrades, pile work, wraps, replacements, and practical solutions for each waterfront condition.
Ponte Vedra Beach · St. Augustine · Jacksonville
Marine work done with heavy-civil discipline.
Riptide builds and repairs docks, seawalls, bulkheads, dune walkovers, sand fencing, and shoreline structures across Northeast Florida.
WHO Riptide SERVES
Waterfront projects need more than a crew and a barge.
Founder Patrick Kenning brings large-project marine construction experience back to the local level for homeowners, HOAs, municipalities, and coastal properties.
The work starts before installation: site conditions, bathymetry, soils, permitting, procurement, scheduling, construction methods, neighbors, and closeout all matter. Riptide’s value is helping owners understand what they need before money is spent in the wrong direction.

SHORELINE SERVICES
Design direction, permitting, procurement, installation, and closeout.
Each dock, wall, walkover, and shoreline repair has different water depth, soils, structure, access, and agency requirements. Riptide looks at the conditions first, then builds the right plan.
02
Bulkheads & seawalls
Timber walls, epoxy-coated steel, composite options, tiebacks, face piles, erosion control, and shoreline stabilization.
03
Dune walkovers
Beach access structures built for safe use, storm survivability, low dune impact, and clean coastal aesthetics.
04
Sand fencing
Cost-effective dune rehabilitation and erosion protection for oceanfront homes and exposed coastal properties.
05
Dock repair
Pile wrapping, pile replacement, framing repairs, upgrades, and efficient fixes that get waterfront access usable again.
06
Vessel recovery
Marine salvage and heavy lifts backed by over twenty years of rigging experience in and out of the water.
WHY OWNERS CALL
Complex coastal work, explained clearly.
Riptide’s approach is built around transparency: what the owner wants, what the property needs, what permits require, and what construction method makes sense.
01Review the site, water, soils, structure, and access constraints.
02Coordinate design, permitting, procurement, schedule, and licensing requirements.
03Build with the least practical intrusion on the property and neighbors.
04Handle closeout and permit-related submissions after the work is complete.
