BOAT DOCKS IN GUTTENBERG
Guttenberg sits right on the Mississippi, and river docks ask for different decisions than lake docks. We build for the water you actually have.
We are a family-run dock and marine shop based in Lamont, and Guttenberg is one of the river towns we work in. If you own water here, you already know the Mississippi does not sit still. What follows is how we approach it.
Building on the river
WHAT THE MISSISSIPPI ASKS FOR
The pool moves
Mississippi levels swing through the season. A dock that is right in June can be wrong in August if it was not designed to travel with the water.
Wake is constant
Between barge traffic and recreational boats, a Guttenberg dock takes wake all summer. Anchoring and frame choice matter more here than on a quiet lake.
Ice comes through
Freeze and breakup put loads on a structure that a summer install never sees. We plan for it rather than repairing after it.
Built in Guttenberg
Custom two-story Wahoo aluminum dock with a covered slip, on the Mississippi River.

WHAT WE INSTALL IN GUTTENBERG
Boat docks
Aluminum and modular floating systems from Wahoo, Hewitt, and Wave Armor, laid out around your slip and your water depth.
Boat lifts
Pneumatic and cable lifts that get the hull out of the river between trips, so growth and current stop working on it.
Dock decking
ThruFlow open grid that lets a rising river pass through instead of pushing up against a solid deck.
Shore Guard seawalls
CMI ShoreGuard vinyl sheet pile for banks losing ground to wake and ice.
Touchless Boat Covers
Covers that shed weather without ever resting on the finish.
WHAT GUTTENBERG CUSTOMERS SAY
I don't usually write reviews - it's not my thing. But TWR is a great company and I'm happy to let people know. I bought a dock from them and it's really been fantastic. High quality materials, great build, and very responsive. We a lot of time on the river and really cherish our boat - it's nice to have a dock that won't let us down and can stand up to the brutal winters we get in Iowa. Thanks, TWR.
Ryan and Julie are great to work with and will work within your budget. I purchased a drive on jet ski dock with an extra platform and a new lift for my boat. Julie helped with the design and cost breakdown and Ryan and crew did the installation. It was done in a timely and efficient manner. Look forward to working with them in the future.
From the design phase through the construction, Ryan and Julie made process seamless and professional. Everything was efficient, well-done, on schedule and on budget… I could not have picked a better team than TWR Dock and Marine!
Young man helping was a rock star. Team was responsive in getting me the product quickly. Drove to manufacture to get it. Tweaking float for Jon boat. Not the best set up for JB but will make it work.
Julie was great to deal with and very responsive to my needs. I have already recommended TWR to my mother in law on her commercial dock project.
Fantastic couple offering quality marine products. Excellent to work with and committed to meeting our expectations. Can not wait to get our new dock!
