The present disclosure is for an improved system for floating docks that allows the floating dock to maintain its float position with changing tides and/or water levels. The floating dock assembly includes an anchoring system and one or more floats. The one or more floats may be connected to one or more anchoring systems. Each anchoring system includes a post, a sleeve assembly, and an anchor weldment. Each anchoring system also uses a counterweight that is disposed within the post to keep a tension on a wire rope which is connected to the anchor weldment. The anchor weldment is placed in the ground where the floating dock is installed.
