Sure, travel lifts can be designed to operate in water. A great example is the one in Germany . Fascinating to watch it operate.

Does anybody have any idea why you might want to do this? It seems to me that any cost savings that you see by not building a launching dock would be offset by the need to replace the travelift more often.
Maybe they are subsidized by taxpayer bailouts.
