Basta Boatlifts designs and
manufactures premium boat lifts. Headquartered in Bellevue, Washington USA
between two gorgeous lakes. Basta Boatlifts is a company dedicated to life on
the water.
The innovation leader
Basta began as a small and local
dock company in the 1980’s, selling boat lifts, building docks, and repairing
bulkheads. Experience with all kinds of waterfront setups lead to the
realization that we could do it better. Basta embarked on a new way to secure and
protect boats.
Innovations emerged quickly, and in
1989 Basta Boatlifts entered the Seattle Boat Show with the first-ever solar
powered remote-control accessory. The first Basta boat lift followed in 1990 –
a cable PWC lift, very similar to our 1.4k lift today.
Shortly thereafter Basta Boatlifts
invented the industry changing “Over-Center” gravity locking design making the
cantilever style boat lift safer than ever. While other boat lift manufacturers
designed boat lifts that fought gravity, Basta used gravity to keep a boat in
place. The Over-Center gravity locking design was patented in 1993 and now is
the standard throughout the boat lift industry.
The company’s passion for continuous
improvement continues and today, Basta Boatlifts holds over 12 patents, with
more pending, to bring you the best for your boat.
Basta boat lift design and
production all happens in-house at our headquarters in Bellevue, WA. Every day
the team at Basta Boatlifts obsess over the minutiae to ensure a high-quality
boatlift and experience. Attention to detail, greater fit and finish and an
unrelenting quest for continual innovations sets Basta apart from its
competitors, more so each year.
Strength, quality, efficiency, and
style are all essential cornerstones of Basta design. A lift that is dependable
and durable should also be sleek and smooth, and you will find that the
designers at Basta make sure all boxes are checked, every time.
Boasting a variety of options to
best fit our customer’s needs, Basta is delighted to offer selection between
aluminum and galvanized steel lifts. The Basta aluminum line features lifts
that are equal parts lightweight, versatile, and stylish using only proprietary
extruded aluminum. Proudly, the Basta galvanized steel line features the
industry’s only steel over-center hydraulic lift. These exclusive lift packages
provide a better experience in deep water, exposed moorages, and a smooth and
rigid docking experience like none other.
Basta Boatlifts are sold
throughout North America, Europe, and are emerging in new markets every day.
The sustained success of Basta stems from our tenured and dedicated staff, who
bring decades of industry design, production, and boating experience. Their
craftsmanship and loyalty are unrivaled, which only becomes more apparent with
every lift produced and new idea created.
Together, we are excited to
continue to live our company mission: building the best for when you WANT the
best.
