A plurality of modular buoyant units connected between modular floor panels to assemble a floating structure. Each floor panel is shaped such that the upper supporting surfaces of the floor panels form a substantially continuous floor surface when the floor panels are assembled adjacent to one another in a substantially common plane. Each buoyant unit has (i) a structural frame with connectors that connect to respective floor panels within an adjacent grouping of floor panels and (ii) a buoyant block formed of foam material carried on the structural frame. Each buoyant block has a solid foam core and an external composite skin formed of reinforcement fibers and a binding matrix.
