Over fifty years ago in Mamaroneck, New York, Robert E. Derecktor began to make his dream a reality. His goal was simple to build the best boats possible. He started with one small waterfront shop and a handful of men. In time the business grew and designs, materials and boats changed. Through it all, the name Derecktor came to be synonymous with an uncompromised dedication to quality. Today, Derecktor Shipyards continues the tradition with a new generation and Bob's son, Paul Derecktor, sees to it that each boat reflects our original commitment to building the very best. Few things are more personal than a yacht. It's often the realization of a lifelong dream, an expression of the taste, individualism and personality of its owner. At Derecktor's, we know that a successful yacht is a collaboration between owner, designer, and builder. We work with you from planning and design through engineering and construction. We never forget that your input is the single most important factor in the ultimate outcome of the project. After the triumph of launching, we continue this partnership, striving to not just meet, but exceed, expectations. Robert E.
