The Sunstream Sunlift Mini provides British Columbia waterfront owners with a compact, powerful solution for protecting valuable watercraft while simplifying the launching and docking process. This innovative hydraulic lift system accommodates personal watercraft and small boats up to 2,000 lbs, working perfectly in Okanagan, Shuswap, and Vancouver Island waters.
We carry multiple boat lift options designed to handles BC's variable shorelines and changing water levels, the Sunlift Mini requires just 18 inches of water depth and features adjustable legs for perfect positioning.
With its lightweight aluminum construction, environmentally-friendly hydraulic system, Bluetooth smartphone control, and quick 15-second lifting speed, the Sunlift Mini delivers exceptional protection, convenience, and adaptability for BC's unique waterfront conditions—ensuring your investment remains safe whether you're enjoying a weekend at the lake or away at your primary residence
If you own waterfront property in British Columbia, you know our lakes have unique challenges. From the rocky shorelines of the Okanagan to the varying water levels in the Shuswap, Sunstream has developed multiple boat lifts that can handle these challenging waters.
The Sunlift Mini was designed with these exact challenges in mind. At just 200 lbs (90 kg), this lightweight hydraulic lift is perfect for smaller watercraft like jet skis, small fishing boats, or personal watercraft up to 2,000 lbs (907 kg). That's plenty of lifting power for most recreational vehicles without the bulky footprint of larger systems.
What I love most about the Sunlift Mini is how it handles BC's seasonal water fluctuations. With adjustable leg heights (from 2-24 inches) and a patented adjustable range accessory that extends from 44 inches to 67 inches (112-170 cm), you'll never have to worry about your lift being too short or too tall as lake levels change throughout the summer.
And for those of us with multiple toys? The Sunlift Mini Dual configuration lets you park two watercraft side by side - perfect for families with multiple jet skis or small boats.
I remember when hydraulic boat lifts first hit the market - they were clunky, prone to leaking, and a maintenance nightmare. The Sunstream Sunlift Mini is nothing like those early models.
Here's what sets the Sunlift Mini's technology apart:
One of my customers on Vancouver Island couldn't believe how quickly we installed his Sunlift Mini - just a few hours and he was up and running. Compare that to the 1-2 days required for traditional lifts!
British Columbia's waterfront properties are as diverse as our landscapes. From steep shorelines to shallow bays, our installation team has seen it all. The Sunlift Mini has proven incredibly versatile across these varied environments.
For narrower docks common in the Okanagan, the Mini's compact frame width of just 5.5 feet (1.68m) means it won't take over your entire dock space. And with frame lengths of 7.9 feet (2.41m), it fits perfectly on standard-sized docks without requiring expensive modifications.
Many of our customers also appreciate how the aluminum construction stands up to our wet BC climate. Unlike steel lifts that rust or wooden ones that rot, the Sunlift Mini's thick 0.25" aluminum structure will look great season after season
If you've spent any time on BC lakes, you know how quickly weather conditions can change. One minute it's sunny and calm, the next you're facing whitecaps and high winds. Your watercraft needs protection from these unpredictable elements.
The Sunlift Mini can be paired with Sunstream's innovative SwiftShield automatic cover system - a game-changer for protecting your investment. With the push of a button, your watercraft is covered, protected from UV damage, rain, and debris.
For BC's colder shoulder seasons, this protection is invaluable. Many of our customers extend their boating season well into October thanks to the added protection of the SwiftShield system.

Installation is smooth and stress free - we guarantee it! The Sunlift Mini requires minimal assembly and can be installed in just a few hours in most situations. For remote properties such as in the Gulf Islands or in harder-to-reach areas of the Shuswap, the lift's lightweight design makes transportation much easier than heavier models.
Sunstream isn't just another boat lift manufacturer - they've been industry pioneers for over 25 years. They created the first free-standing hydraulic lift, the first free-floating hydraulic lift, the first automatic boat cover system, and the first rotary hydraulic cable lift.
This innovation translates directly to reliability for BC waterfront property owners. When you're at your vacation home on Okanagan Lake, the last thing you want is a lift that doesn't work. Sunstream's reputation for quality means fewer headaches and more time enjoying our beautiful BC waters.
Ready to learn more about how the Sunstream Sunlift Mini can transform your BC waterfront experience? Give BC Boat Lift and Dock a call or stop by our showroom. We're happy to discuss your specific shoreline conditions and help you choose the perfect solution for your needs.
The Sunlift Mini is built to last in BC's varied climate. For winter, we recommend either removing the lift entirely (easy with its lightweight design) or winterizing it in place. The water-soluble hydraulic fluid won't freeze like traditional oil-based systems, and the aluminum construction won't deteriorate with repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
We recommend professional installation, especially for BC waterfront properties with unique shoreline considerations. Our team understands local water conditions and can ensure your lift is properly positioned and secured.
No problem! The Sunlift Mini can be powered by a standard 12V marine battery with an optional solar charging system - perfect for remote BC properties without shore power. The system is incredibly efficient, with most customers reporting that a fully charged battery lasts weeks with regular use.
Absolutely - this is one of the Sunlift Mini's greatest strengths for BC lakes. With the adjustable range kit, your lift can accommodate significant water level changes throughout the season without requiring repositioning.
