Docks of the Bay is a marine construction company serving Mathews County, Virginia — the water-wrapped tip of the Middle Peninsula, edged by Mobjack Bay, the Piankatank River, the East and North rivers, and the open Chesapeake Bay. With more shoreline than almost anywhere in the region, Mathews is dock country, and we've built here for over 24 years.
As a licensed Virginia Class A contractor, we cover the full waterfront: new dock construction and re-decking, boat lift sales and installation, vinyl and timber bulkheads, riprap and living shorelines, boat ramps, house pilings, and dredging. From protected creeks off the North River to more exposed frontage near Gwynn's Island and New Point Comfort, we build docks and shoreline structures matched to your water.
