About Us
Who is DOCKPRO?
We are specialists in the dry storage of recreational and commercial vessels and are passionate about helping our clients look after their prized possession …their boat. Whether you have a 100ft super yacht, a tinnie or a PWC we have the expertise and the products to help you keep them moored dry.
DOCKPRO is based at the Gold Coast Marine Precinct Coomera and was established in 2007. It is the exclusive world-wide distributor of 'Sea Pen Advanced Dry Docking Technology' for all types of boat a up to around 100ft. And the Australian distributor of Candock Modular Floating Systems which is ideal for PWC's and small boats as well as many other commercial uses.
After being a monthly finalist in both 2009 and 2010 in the Gold Coast Business Excellence Awards we were thrilled to be awarded the Annual 2010 Emerging Business Award.
Mark Barber Managing Director of both DOCKPRO and Sea Pen said "DOCKPRO was a finalist in 2009 for the emerging business award so winning the award in 2010 is a real achievement. It is a credit to the team who has worked so hard to provide high quality support for our customers and marketing the products which has helped the business to grow. We have expanded around the country and have also started exporting."
"In these tougher economic conditions customers want to look after their prized asset their boat, are often time poor and looking to save money. The Sea Pen is your boat's garage. You don't park your luxury car on the street so why put your boat in a much harsher environment. Also our products mean no more antifouling which is much better for our delicate marine environment" said Mark.
"The 2010 Emerging Business Award has capped off a great year for us at DOCKPRO as Sea Pen was awarded a Design Mark by the 2010 Australian International Design Awards earlier in the year".
Sea Pen keeps the hull of the boat and props totally dry and at water level. Your boat will be kept in pristine condition and never need to be anti-fouled. Imagine every time you take your boat out it performs like new! Sea Pen is an Australian invention, is patented and is Australian made product.
Monohulls, catamarans and even deep keel racing yachts can all be moored dry in a Sea Pen. Sea Pen is the latest technology available to moor your boat dry but without lifting your boat above the water.
PWC's and jetskis, small boats and tinnies as well as floating pontoons, work platforms, commercial and aquaculture users can all be accommodated by Candock . It is a totally modular system that can easily be changed or added too as your needs change. Our Candock product range is ideally suited to commercial applications. It has a very long life span, is flexible and is ideally suited for fish farms, aquaculture, floating work platforms and many other uses.
Our Mission:
We are the leading supplier of dry docking systems in Australia for all vessels from jetskis to 100ft super yachts.
We are committed to enhancing the boating lifestyle of our customers by providing innovative products that keep their vessels in pristine condition. In addition we are focussed on providing the highest level of customer service and support possible. Our team members are well trained and have the expertise to help our clients from their initial inquiry, to installation and onwards for the life of the product.
In the busy world we live in today, people are time poor. Routine tasks such as regular antifouling, slipping and cleaning boats waste both valuable time and money. Our product lines Sea Pen Advanced Dry Docking Technology and Candock Modular Floating Platforms help our clients enjoy their boats, eliminate the need to antifoul and keep their boats in pristine condition. Every time you take your boat out it feels like a brand new boat.
In addition, the environment has always been a priority to us. Toxic anti-foul paints have been traditionally used for boat hull protection. By eliminating antifouling we are reducing the toxic load on our delicate marine environment and protecting it for generations to come.
Our Candock product range is ideally suited to commercial applications as well. It has a very long life span, is flexible and is ideally suited for fish farms, aquaculture, floating work platforms and many other uses.
Please feel free to contact us if we can help you in any way.
Kind regards

Testimonials from our customers:
For the past year I have had my Trophy in a Sea Pen and after 50 years of boating I can attest to the fact that is the best way to moor a boat.
The pen is easy to use and it allows easy access to the boat We all know the best place for a boat is in the water and since this arrangement actually keeps the boat on the water and not in it you now have the best case scenario.
Based on the the performance of the product and the level of service delivered I would highly recommend DOCKPRO and Sea Pen as the best solution to mooring a boat of any size.
The Sea pen for our 5.5m Haines Bowrider is outstandingly successful which was installed in May 2010.
The ease the SeaPen offers to get off and on is a breeze.
More importantly, the service and attitude SeaPen's people is worthy of a high rating. Their response time is great, their attendance on site (our pontoon) comes with a helpful approach, and their telephone reception people are friendly and knowledgeable.
I am delighted to recommend SeaPen and its people.
Hi Sandra,
I have had my sea pen installed for approx 7 months.
I have a Boston Whaler 305 Conquest which has recently been out of the water for servicing and it was in excellent condition due to using the sea pen.
I have found this very easy to use with no problems at all and not to mention the performance is excellent and the maintenance is minimal.
Having used this sea pen it makes boating more enjoyable and Hassel free.
I have and will recommend this to any boatie.
Sea Pen Dry 11000 was installed June 2008 and I've to say – it was the best invest related to boating! Works always very good and with the control via mobile phone no problem to have the Pen down when we are back to the marina.
Even we're overseas we can check the status of the Pen and if necessary asking a friend to have a lock at it! Great invention! Our Riviera 3600SY is always clean, the Pen is saving time and money – no more haul out for cleaning, anti-fouling and prop-speed!
We are out on the boat more spontaneous than ever before … If there was a question or a need for some spare parts there was always a fast reply and fast help !
I have been using my Sea Pen for five months, and so far I have happy with my Sea Pen. I am new to owning a yacht. When I first acquired my new Chaparral Signature cruiser, my desire were:
Sea Pen enables me to meet my desire. It keeps my boat dry and clean. It also serves as a protection for my boat from sea debris and keep my boat away from others. I also used it as a platform during washing/polishing of clean my boat.
Getting in and out of the Sea Pen is a breeze. The pump is powerful and I often double it as a pump for my dinghy.
I have had my boat for about nine years and it has always been moored against a pontoon. Two years ago my neighbour bought a Sea Pen for his boat and I followed his experience with interest.
My boat was out of the water being cleaned when I made the purchase, and Mark from sea Pen went to great effort to make sure that the unit they selected was correct for my boat. I have been more than impressed with their efforts to ensure that I was completely satisfied with the final result.
I can recommend this company and their product to anyone who has a boat permanently moored. I love my sea Pen.
