Derecktor Shipyards, founded in 1947 in Mamaroneck, New York by Bob Derektor, operates a mega-yacht haulout facility in Fort Pierce, Florida, three nautical miles from Fort Pierce Inlet — described as the widest, deepest, and most navigable inlet between Port Canaveral and the Everglades.Watch The yard's centerpiece is the largest mobile boat hoist in the Western Hemisphere, rated to 1,500 US short tons and capable of hauling vessels up to 250 feet depending on displacement.1:38 Adjustable trolleys reposition strap sections fore and aft to accommodate almost any hull form, including deep-draft and tall air-draft superyachts.1:59 A bump-out in the hoist frame provides additional positioning clearance.1:51 The yard has hosted vessels from 85-foot catamarans to 350-foot-plus ships since 2021; boats over 250 feet can receive pier-side service even if they cannot be hauled.3:37 A current asphalt project will expand the hard-standing area, and future plans include additional dockage and a dry dock for larger vessels.4:39 Subcontractor networks allow compressed yard periods; one recent client completed a pressure repair and departed a day ahead of schedule.2:19 Fort Pierce's international airport with TSA customs clearance simplifies crew logistics for foreign-flagged yachts.5:38
