Top 5 Fun Dock Accessories to Elevate Your Summer

Here’s an overview of ShoreMaster dock enhancements that make it easier than ever to create lasting memories on water:

1. Dockside Grill

The ShoreMaster Dockside Grill transforms any dock into the ultimate summer spot, bringing people together for waterfront cookouts, sunset dinners, and spontaneous hangs. Crafted with high-quality stainless steel, our Dockside Grill features a simple control knob for precise heat control with push-button igniter and built-in thermometer. The set includes a removable warming rack and liner, a grease tray, a latching lid, and a stay-cool handle.

Whether fueling up for adventure with a hearty breakfast or flipping burgers for friends after a day of boating, the Dockside Grill encourages you to spend quality time with loved ones. 

1. Dockside Basketball Hoop

The ShoreMaster Dockside Basketball Hoop turns any waterfront into a lively recreational space, keeping the energy high between swims and boat rides. The backboard measures 44” x 30” while its 18” diameter rim comes with a waterproof nylon net. Like most ShoreMaster dock accessories, the Dockside Basketball Hoop utilizes the InfinityTrack accessory system so you can seamlessly attach it anywhere along the dock frame.

1. Dockside Fire Table

Instantly transform your dock into a cozy retreat with the ShoreMaster Dockside Fire Table. Whether you're winding down after a long day on the water or hosting friends for a sunset get-together, this accessory ensures that your dock remains the heart of unforgettable summer nights. The fire table comes with a 20" round 60,000 BTU stainless steel black powder-coated burner, external key valve, match-throw ignition, natural gas orifice, 20 lbs of fire jewelry, and a black 3/4" fire burner riser.

1. ShorePort 

If you own a jet ski, a personal watercraft (PWC) drive-on jet ski floating dock is a game changer. After a day of exploring hidden coves, casting lines in remote fishing spots, or carving up the waves, the last thing you want to deal with is the hassle of trailering. The ShorePort gives your jet ski a dedicated, easy-access docking space so you can spend less time loading and more time riding.

With a standard weight capacity of 1,150 lbs (expandable to 1,450 lbs with optional flotation) and adjustable roller supports, the ShorePort can accommodate a range of PWC sizes and hull styles, so you’re always ready to ride. 

1. Boat Lift

Leaving a boat in the water for extended periods can lead to costly issues, including hull damage, biofouling, and wear from rough water conditions. Bottom cleaning and anti-fouling treatments can cost hundreds of dollars each year (Boating World, n.d.). Meanwhile, fiberglass hull repairs range from $500 for minor gel coating services to $5,000 for major structural work (The Pricer, 2024). 

Protect your precious investment with a ShoreMaster boat lift and make your boating experiences more convenient and enjoyable. With no need for cumbersome trailering and waiting at public ramps, you can enjoy stress-free boating whenever you feel like hitting the water. 

Enhancing Safety and Comfort on Your Dock

Of course, a big part of a fun summer is enjoying absolute peace of mind. And that’s exactly what you get with the following ShoreMaster docking accessories:

• Handrails: Available in 3’, 4’, 5’, 6’, 8’, or 10’ lengths, InfinityTrack Dock Handrails instantly enhance the safety of any ShoreMaster boat docking system.
• Ladders: Get in and out of the water easier and safer with ShoreMaster’s Pivoting Dock Ladders. Available in 3-, 4-, and 5-step configurations, these essential additions feature slip-resistant threads, a vertical pivoting action, and locking pin so you can flip them up when not in use.
• Bumpers: Made from non-marring, high-impact polyethylene resin that absorbs and dissipates impact, ShoreMaster dock bumpers are available in vertical, horizontal, and corner configurations so you can add the appropriate protection for all vulnerable transition zones.

Whether you're docking your boat, preparing for a swim, or simply enjoying the lakeside view, these accessories create a safer, more welcoming space for everyone.

Personalizing Your Dock Space

Different summers have different vibes, so your dock should reflect how you intend to enjoy the season. Whether you plan on spending it relaxing, entertaining, or adventuring, ShoreMaster offers accessories that let you personalize your dock setup to match the season’s unique energy.

• Furniture: Transform your dock into an outdoor lounge where comfort meets style. ShoreMaster’s premium dock furniture — including off-deck swivel chairs, matching tables, loungers, and Lakeview benches — offers ergonomic design, all-weather durability, and effortless elegance. Whether hosting friends or enjoying a quiet moment by the water, these pieces turn your dock into a true waterfront retreat.
• Watersport Racks: Keep your dock organized with our watersport racks for kayaks, paddleboards, canoes, and other lakeside toys. These racks are vertically adjustable to make loading and unloading quick and easy and feature integrated bungee holes for secure storage. 
• Rod Holders: For avid anglers, ShoreMaster offers single or four-rod holders featuring an upright, secure design that prevents tangling and sideways leaning. Meanwhile, our multi-purpose hooks provide a straightforward storage solution for swim towels, life jackets, wet suits, and hoses to keep your dock organized and clutter-free.

With ShoreMaster, you can enjoy the season exactly how you want while creating a waterfront haven that’s uniquely yours. 

Accessory Spotlight: InfinityTrack System

ShoreMaster’s InfinityTrack system offers the easiest way to enhance your dock’s functionality, convenience, and safety. This innovative design features integrated tracks along the sides of ShoreMaster dock frames, allowing you to attach a wide range of accessories using a simple T-handle. With no drilling or specialized tools required, you can reposition or remove accessories anytime or as your needs evolve. 

Whether swapping out dock furniture, adding a kayak rack, or adjusting handrails for added safety, the InfinityTrack system enables you to adapt your setup for the day’s activities effortlessly. Best of all, everything locks into place cleanly and securely, maintaining the sleek, design-coherent look the ShoreMaster Infinity Dock System is known for. 

Maintaining Your Dock Accessories for Longevity

Clean your dock accessories regularly to remove dirt, debris, or salt buildup. Use mild soap and water, and avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the materials. While you’re at it, inspect the accessories for signs of wear and damage, checking for loose connections, cracks, and other issues that could affect performance and safety. If you live in an area with harsh winters, we recommend removing and storing your InfinityTrack accessories in a dry, protected location during the off-season.

ShoreMaster’s dock accessories are constructed with premium, marine-grade materials to ensure they perform reliably under diverse waterfront environments. Adhere to these basic maintenance practices, and you should be able to enjoy elevated waterfront experiences for seasons to come.
