Shipyard Manager

Established in 1988, Corn Island Shipyard has quietly become the premier builder of custom barges and specialized marine structures.

Our mission is to be the leading shipyard in the United States, dedicated to delivering top-quality vessels with an unwavering focus on safety, craftsmanship, and innovation.
