private dock

Exclusive waterfront platform

A private dock is a pier or platform extending into water that belongs to or is reserved for a specific property owner, as opposed to public or commercial docks.

Waterfront homeowners build private docks for mooring boats, swimming, or fishing: The cabin came with a private dock on the lake.

Access is typically restricted to the owner and their guests.
