Floats
An oyster float is a type of floating cage or container used in aquaculture to grow oysters at the water’s surface. Suspended just below the waterline, these floats allow oysters to feed on naturally occurring plankton while being protected from predators and silt buildup. We manufacture and sell three versions of oyster floats, which are our modified designs of the popular Taylor Float. We provide everything you need in a kit to get started.

Sizes
2×2
We build and sell a 2×2 oyster float that’s perfect for small-scale growers or anyone just getting started. It’s a four-foot-by-four-foot floating frame with mesh bags for oysters and sturdy foam blocks for support. Lightweight but durable, it’s easy to flip, clean, and manage by hand. Keeping the oysters near the surface gives them great water flow and plenty of food, helping them grow faster and stay healthy.
2×4
We build and sell a 2×4 oyster float designed for growers who want more capacity without sacrificing manageability. At four feet by eight feet, it holds more mesh bags than the 2×2, making it a great option for scaling up. Foam blocks keep it stable on the surface, and the durable frame is built to handle tough conditions. Despite its larger size, it’s still easy to access and maintain. The float keeps your oysters near the surface where they get optimal food and oxygen for fast, healthy growth.
Keeper Caddy
The Keeper Caddy is a simple, reliable way to keep your oyster gear organized and easy to access on the water. Designed for convenience and durability, it helps you store and transport tools, supplies, and accessories while keeping everything secure and within reach. Whether you’re tending cages or checking your gear, the Keeper Caddy helps make time on the water smoother and more efficient.
Flip Float
Flip Floats make oyster gardening easy by using the motion of the tide to naturally lift and expose cages to air. This simple flipping action helps reduce fouling, improve water circulation, and support healthier oyster growth with less maintenance. Designed for durability and ease of use, Flip Floats are a practical solution for keeping your oyster setup clean, efficient, and working with the rhythm of the water.
Tidal Tumbler
Our Tidal Tumblers are designed to help oysters grow strong and healthy by gently rolling with the natural movement of the water. Built for durability and easy use, they improve water flow, reduce fouling, and promote uniform shell growth — making oyster gardening simpler and more productive. Whether you’re just getting started or maintaining an established setup, Tidal Tumblers help you get the most out of every tide.
Custom
We can customize just about any float to your specification. Detailed specifications and pricing are available on request.
