He started with a small waterfront shop and a handful of men. In time the business grew and designs, materials and boats changed. Through it all, the name Derecktor came to be synonymous with an uncompromising dedication to quality and outstanding workmanship. Over half a century later, Bob Derecktor's legendary attention to detail and demand for perfection continues to set the tone for everyone in our shipyard.

Under his guidance, the finest craftsmen and skilled laborers transform aluminum, steel, wood, fiberglass, titanium and high-tech composites into the world's finest custom sailing and motor yachts, high-speed ferries, and innovative workboats.

Lauderdale, FL, Mamaroneck, NY, and Bridgeport, CT), Derecktor Shipyards has become the United States' foremost leader in aluminum boat production and a worldwide leader in yacht and commercial construction, service, repair and refit.
