Dock Lines


Whitsunday Discount Marine only recommends nylon or polyester docklines for permanent docking.

Our premium pre-spliced double-braided nylon and 8 braid polyester dock lines are designed to stretch, absorbing sudden shocks with ease. They are extremely strong but remain flexible for many years.

Each dock line has anti-chaffing sleeves to protect your deck, gunwale and hull. Each sleeve is made of cut/tear and UV resistant military grade nylon.
