A marine contractor for Florida waterfront projects

Florida is the Southeast’s largest marine construction market — and the one with the most demand for seawalls, marinas and public boating access. BluTide mobilizes for commercial projects in Jacksonville, Fernandina Beach, St. Augustine and across Northeast Florida, and further south for the right project.

We work directly for owners and as the marine subcontractor to general contractors.
