Marine Construction in North Carolina
Marinas, public piers, boat ramps, bulkheads and pile driving for owners and general contractors in Wilmington, the Cape Fear region and the North Carolina coast.
A Southeast marine contractor for the North Carolina coast
Wilmington, Wrightsville Beach, Southport, Oak Island, the Cape Fear River and the southern Outer Banks share the Lowcountry’s challenges: salt, storm surge and shifting shorelines. BluTide brings crews, barges and pile-driving equipment north for marina, public-access, bulkhead and pile-driving work.
We work directly for owners and as the marine subcontractor to general contractors on larger civil and waterfront packages.
What we build in North Carolina
Marinas
New marina docks, floating systems and marina repairs.

Permitting in North Carolina
Coastal construction in North Carolina is regulated under the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) through the NC Division of Coastal Management, with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Wilmington District) authorizations where required. We build to the permit conditions issued for each project.
