Four Derecktor facilities span the Eastern Seaboard of the United States, running from Maine down to South Florida. The company provides broad support across the yachting industry, covering everything from marina slip rentals and routine maintenance to full-scale superyacht construction.

Over time, Derecktor has earned international recognition for custom projects and complex boat conversions. A standout highlight in the portfolio of the company includes M/Y Cakewalk (now Aquila), which at 2,998 gross tons remains the largest luxury yacht built in the United States.

Two South Florida locations, situated in Dania Beach and Fort Pierce, serve as key hubs for superyacht service. These facilities handle haul-outs, major structural refits, engineering overhauls, and detailed repair work for large motorboats and sailing yachts.

Rigorous project management and attention to detail drive work across every yard. Beyond luxury yachts, Derecktor works on commercial boats, delivering dependable quality and technical expertise for boat owners and operators nationwide.
