Derecktor Shipyards has recently been chosen to develop and operate the first purpose-built megayacht repair and refit yard in the United States located in Fort Pierce, Florida. The yet-to-be-built yard will be developed to service yachts of over 200 ft. and 900 plus tons. It will also include a 1400 ton mobile hoist (along with a 3500 ton or larger drydock) for the hauling and service of large sailing yachts, which are currently are restricted almost exclusively to European shipyards. Once in full operation, Derecktor Fort Pierce will employ more than 200 people directly and hundreds more through subcontractors and suppliers. The selection of Derecktor was made Wednesday by the St. Lucie Board of County Commissioners by unanimous vote following an extensive competition.
