United States

Marine Group Boat Works is a family-owned, full-service maritime vessel construction and repair company founded in 1986, with two waterfront facilities on San Diego Bay and in Los Cabos, Mexico. Its largest shipyard in Chula Vista has more than 2,000 feet of dockage and a 665-ton Travelift (soon to be replaced with an 820-ton lift), rough terrain cranes, a machine shop, metalworking equipment and a propeller shop. Its sister boatyard in San Jose del Cabo features more than 300,000 square feet of land and water, with a 150-ton and 75-ton Travelift. Since redeveloping their boatyards in 2007, MGBW has grown from 25 local employees to approximately 200 highly skilled team members comprised of ABS-certified welders, shipfitters, pipefitters, mechanics, electricians and painters between the two facilities. MGBW’s is the only team in the world with a specialized group of cross-trained boatbuilders and re-fitters to service various vessels, from tugboats to patrol crafts to mega-yachts. MGBW is recognized as the premier superyacht refit facility on the West Coast, with approximately one-third of its business devoted to this sector. Another one-third comprises commercial vessels (including ferries, tugboats, barges, workboats and research vessels), with the final third focused on shipbuilding and repairs for the U.S. military and other governmental agencies. As of 2023, more than 30 vessels worldwide were built by MGBW, with contracts totaling more than $100 million.morehide
