Late season in the Mediterranean brings quieter anchorages and warm seas. September is a popular time for shoulder-season charters, and managing the watercraft efficiently remains a priority for the crew. This jet ski dock comparison looks at two dedicated solutions for a yacht jet ski mooring. We compare the modular berthing of the Double Toy Dock with the compact launching footprint of the C-Dock, helping you match the right charter toy platform to your specific stern.
A jet ski dock comparison: footprint and capacity
Choosing the right docking setup begins with the space you actually have available. You must measure the width of your swim platform and the clear water behind the yacht, ensuring a floating product can lie without touching the hull or the propellers. The type of watercraft your charter guests expect will dictate your choice from our jet ski docks.
- The C-Dock: The C-Dock for Jet Ski & Seabob serves as a minimal, secure launch platform. It has a compact footprint of 200 x 150 cm. This model secures a single personal watercraft, a Seabob or an e-foil directly behind the yacht.
- The Double Toy Dock: The Double Toy Dock (3.10 + 4.10 m) is a premium system for the secure mooring of up to two jet skis and extra water toys. It uses divided arms that keep the watercraft apart, with a combined modular footprint of 410 x 205 cm and 308 x 155 cm.
A compact launching unit works well for smaller motor yachts exploring the rocky coves of Liguria. The larger model functions as a comprehensive tender and jet ski dock for busy charter vessels operating off the Amalfi Coast.
Drop-stitch construction and the teak-look surface
Both of these docks are constructed from 0.9 mm PVC paired with drop-stitch fabric. This construction features two layers of fabric joined by a dense array of internal threads. When inflated, the threads hold both surfaces parallel, which makes the inflatable structure feel firm and stable underfoot. This rigidity gives the crew a secure base when tying up a c-dock seabob arrangement or preparing watersports equipment for the afternoon.
The top features a teak-look surface designed to blend with the aesthetic of a classic yacht deck. This finish is a teak look only, not real wood, which is highly practical for a working dock. It needs no oiling or sanding to retain its appearance through a busy Italian summer. The materials are chosen to be UV-resistant and saltwater-resistant, capable of spending long hours in the direct Mediterranean sun without degrading.
Setup, mooring and safe operation
You inflate the docks using an electric air pump, choosing between a 500 W or a 1200 W model depending on the power requirements of your other inflatables. Unfold the product on a clean deck, ensure the valve is closed, and inflate to the pressure stated in the product instructions. Because air expands as it warms in the afternoon sun, the crew should check the pressure again on hot days.
If you want a larger setup, platforms and docks connect to each other with the AirLink Tube. You place the units side by side, inflate the tube until it is rigid, slide it into the connection loops and fasten it with the integrated straps. Always use these products in calm, sheltered water, and bring them in when wind and waves build up. Tie lines only to strong fixing points on the yacht and keep them clear of the propellers.
Engines and thrusters must be off while anyone is in the water near the stern. You must always supervise swimmers and children around the docking area.
End-of-season care and delivery policies
As the charter season concludes, the crew begins preparing equipment for winter storage. Dockee inflatables require straightforward care before packing. You should rinse them thoroughly with fresh water after contact with salt water and clean the fabrics with a mild soap solution. Give the non-slip surfaces a regular, gentle clean to maintain their appearance.
Make sure the dock is completely dry before you deflate, fold and pack it. Store the product dry and out of prolonged direct sunlight. We provide worldwide, fully insured shipping for all orders, with larger docks handled by specialised logistics partners who coordinate delivery directly to your marina or berth.
All products carry a warranty of two years from delivery. Returns are accepted within 14 days of delivery for unused items in their original packaging, though tailor-made items are excluded from this policy. If your yacht requires a specific size or surface, a tailor-made configuration is available on request, complete with an individual quote and lead time.
