Established in 1947, Derecktor has since become renowned for excellence in the construction, repair and refit of yachts, commercial and military vessels.

Derecktor made a name for itself on the global yachting stage with M/Y Cakewalk (now Aquila), which at 2,998 tons, is the largest yacht ever built in the U.S.

Derecktor’s combination of experience, professional project management, and never-ending attention to detail has created an environment that produces unrivaled results and customer benefit. With two South Florida-based facilities (Dania Beach and Fort Pierce), Derecktor is widely recognized within the superyacht industry as the choice for expert repair, complete refit or any conceivable service need.

Derecktor Ft. Pierce is America’s first repair and refit yard designed and developed for megayachts. Home to the largest mobile boat hoist in the Western Hemisphere, Derecktor Ft. Pierce boasts a hauling capacity of 1,500t, deep water access (28ft) and easy access with no overhead obstructions. 

Derecktor Ft. Pierce is conveniently located in Fort Pierce, FL, 90nm north of Fort Lauderdale.
