A floating dock comprises a plurality of floats, and a plurality of connectors for joining the floats together, each float having a top surface, a bottom surface, two opposed side surfaces and two opposed end surfaces. Each of the side and end surfaces have at least one tapered connecting slot formed therein, extending from the bottom surface of the float to the top surface of the float. The connectors have a shape complementary to the connecting slots, whereby a single connector will span between aligned connecting slots on an adjacent pair of floats.
