Custom Fabrication & Paradepts
Repair, Build or Imagine
From the simple to the sublime, our crew can design, engineer, build and install–all focused on delivering a better than new finished product. When it comes to custom fabrication nearly any addition to your boat can be made to look like it should have always been there. Repairs are seamless, made to be stronger, with an eye to correcting any weakness or flaw. Fiberglass and other composite material fabrication is part of Bluewater’s day-to-day job fulfillment. Our technicians are not limited to the ordinary, the standard, nor stick with what has been done before. They cruise and fish and use boats every chance they get. They recognize “use-ability” and bring it to the level of art-form everyday. The most interesting and challenging jobs become the focus of the entire yard from the initial design and engineering through the stages of development and installation.
Bluewater also has a proven track record in design, engineering and building for complete accessibility for those with requirements that challenge the marine industry norm. Bigger challenges are met with bigger innovation and ingenuity. See our “Project Cuttin’ Up” for a detailed description of our capabilities in par-adaptation. You have a vision of how you want your boat to look and function? We can build it. The worst damage imaginable? We can fix it.
