Broward Marine was established by Frank Denison, in 1948, on the site of the former Dooley’s Basin & Dry Dock, which had been a major WWII builder of P boats for the U.S. Army. The Saugatuck yard was started in 1977. Ownership changed hands in about 2000 and the new owners moved construction to a yard in Dania Beach, just off Port Everglades. Broward Marine now builds luxury superyachts.
