TideMinders make boat protection in tidal waters and storms simple & amazing. This Floating Dock Alternative will save you money.
If you don't have a floating dock, TideMinders® are the cost-effective solution.

The TideMinders ® system for protecting boats by controlling dock lines (up to 1" diameter) in tidal waters and storms is simply amazing.

Tideminders can be fitted on 12" diameter to 24" diameter pilings (refer to the Tideminders / Piling Size Chart below).

With TideMinder Balls, your lines will simply roll up and down the pilings automatically as forces demand, dissipating the energy naturally.
As the balls roll up and down, they offer constant tension with built in shock absorption.
Tideminders eliminate the need to constantly adjust lines during storms and tidal changes.
Tide Minders are a highly durable string of "pearls" that protects lines against fouling and chafing.

Tideminder Balls automatically roll up and down the pilings!
Don't waste money prematurely building a floating dock.
Instead, use TideMinders ® to protect your boat.

Tideminders can be tailored for use on up to 24" pilings. A 9-ball set is perfect for 12" diameter pilings/ 2 sets for 18" diameter pilings. Tideminder Balls can be purchased individually to add to other size pilings. Refer to the chart below to determine how many you need.

TideMinders® work with multiple boats simultaneously!

Installation requires no tools!
If you can tie a figure 8 knot, you’re ready to use the TideMinders system (instructions are included). One set of 9 Tideminders balls gives you protection on a 12" diameter piling. For larger diameter pilings, more balls can be added. Order below
