But on the flip side of the coin, if the pond was constructed without a clay liner then there shouldn't be any problems. Depending on the side wind loads on a floating pier, a floating dock may take more work to install.

If the water level in the pond didn't fluctuate more than 18" I'd go with an anchored, fixed pier.
