So who are my best options to get this guy driven back in where it belongs?

Where are you? Having to move a barge long distance may not be something the operator wants to do. You may not want to pay for that.
I think it may be more a matter oi "when can they do the work?" Most operators have a big spring backlog. I'd call whoever did the original installation, if known.

We used to have a couple of pilings at the end of our breakwater/docks and had to reset them often. Finally pulled them out and went without. No problem ever since.

Default ... magic dock wands?

.... probably impossible to drive it back down without a barge, crane and pile driver ...... so, maybe switch to either a boat lift, or magic dock wands .... there could still be a pair of fiberglass dock wands and bases at the Re-Store in Plymouth for $100 .... give em a phone call?

Or, go to ebay and enter 'dock mooring whips' for a long list of different whip items?

Arrow Hope You're Not in a Hurry...

My four "tie-off" pilings lasted a very long time, but were installed into "virgin" lake bottom. If you don't want a "three-peat" (or a "six-peat", for that matter) don't bother putting them back in.
