Over 40 years and hundreds of projects — from center console T-tops to 113-foot superyacht structural work. Here's what captains, owners, and operators say about DolFab.
"The T-top they built for our 62’ Buddy Davis Sportfish is rock solid — rod holders, outrigger bases, the full electronics arch. We've run it through rough weather offshore and it doesn't flex, doesn't rattle. Jim's team designed everything around our existing layout without any fuss. Quality work at a fair price."
"Fuel tank replacement on our 88’ Broward Motoryacht. We'd been quoted six to eight weeks by two other shops. DolFab had drawings done in a week, fabrication complete in three. The engineering was handled in-house, everything ABS-certified. No surprises, on budget. We'll go back for the second tank next season."
"Hull plating repair after Hurricane Idalia. Significant damage to the port bow section on our commercial dive vessel. DolFab assessed, quoted, and had us back in the water in under a month. Professional work, honest pricing, on schedule. Hard to find that combination in Fort Lauderdale."
"We had custom stainless cockpit coaming plates, rod holder bases, and a bait prep station fabricated for our 52’ Viking. The finish is immaculate — polished exactly to spec. DolFab takes pride in detail work that a lot of shops rush through. Worth every dollar."
"DolFab fabricated a custom poling platform and push pole holder rack for our 21’ Hell's Bay Waterman. They understood exactly what a technical flats angler needs — low profile, no rattle, no flex. Had it installed in two days. Best upgrade I've made to the skiff."
"We managed a complete refit on a 1983 Hatteras 58 Convertible — new fuel tanks, replacement transom framing, custom cockpit coaming, and stainless hardware throughout. Jim Doll's shop handled every piece of the metalwork. They're methodical, they communicate clearly, and they don't cut corners. When ABS sign-off was required, they had the documentation ready before we asked for it. I've managed refits at yards in Fort Lauderdale, Newport, and Palma — DolFab is the fabrication shop I'll keep calling."
Every project — from a single poling platform to a full superyacht structural refit — gets the same attention to material quality, weld integrity, and schedule. That's why clients come back.
