Custom Marine Metal Fabrication
Fort Lauderdale

DolFab's Lloyds, ABS & USCG certified shop handles the full custom fabrication cycle for marine vessels — from design to finished part — in aluminum, stainless steel, and structural steel. One-off replacement parts, production runs, or complex assemblies. Fort Lauderdale. Est. 1978.

What We Do

From custom aluminum hull components to precision stainless deck hardware, our certified fabricators handle the complete custom fabrication scope for marine vessels of any size — superyachts to sportfishers. Every part meets or exceeds Lloyds, ABS & USCG standards.

  • Custom aluminum components — 5083, 5052, 6061 alloys for hulls, frames, hatches, and structural members
  • Stainless steel deck hardware & fittings — 316L marine-grade stainless for cleats, handrails, guards, and custom deck fittings
  • Structural steel fabrication — ABS & USCG certified structural steel for hull frames, engine mounts, and keel work
  • Waterjet-cut precision parts — any profile, any material, no heat-affected zone — ideal for marine-grade alloys
  • Press brake formed enclosures, brackets, and panels — tight-tolerance forming for engine room covers, access panels, and custom housings
  • Scan-to-fab replacement parts — 3D scanning for obsolete or discontinued marine components; we replicate to spec

Custom Marine Fabrication FAQ

What materials do you work with for custom marine fabrication?

We work in aluminum alloys (5083, 5052, 6061 — the standard marine hull and structure alloys), 316L marine-grade stainless steel for hardware and fittings, and structural steel for certified hull frames and engine mounts. Material selection is driven by the application, classification requirements, and the vessel's existing spec.

Do you fabricate one-off custom parts or only production runs?

Both. Marine work is overwhelmingly one-off — a replacement cleat mount for a 1970s sportfisher, a custom engine mount for a converted vessel — and we're set up for exactly that. We also run small production batches for OEM customers and refit yards. There's no minimum quantity.

Can you reverse-engineer or replicate obsolete marine parts?

Yes. We use 3D scanning to capture the geometry of existing parts — worn, corroded, or otherwise — and produce digital models we can cut directly on the waterjet or use to drive our press brake and rolling programs. This is especially useful for discontinued hardware and vintage vessels where drawings no longer exist.

What certifications cover your marine fabrication work?

Our shop holds Lloyds, ABS & USCG certification — the three major marine classification bodies. For certified jobs we provide weld procedure records, welder qualification documentation, and NDT reports as applicable. Insurance surveyors and classification societies accept our paperwork routinely.
