A floating dry dock for boats. The dry dock has two side pontoons and a front pontoon. Each pontoon has one or more plastic tubs filled with styrofoam batts and attached to the frame for flotation. The top of the pontoons are provided with 2 inch by 6 inch by 27 inch cedar wood decking. The two side pontoons are attached to each other using at least two metal cradles, that also support a boat lift. The outside posts of the front and rear cradles have wheels mounted thereon to allow the dock to be moved from one location to another, over dry land. By varying the length of the pontoons, (and number of cradles), and the number of plastic floatation tubs, the dock can be built and/or adjusted to be used with personal water craft lifts, (2,500 lb capacity), to large boat lifts, (6,800 lb capacity). The adjustable nature of the dry dock makes it usable with a large number of boat lifts.
