Shipyard · New build & refit
Broward Marine
Florida builder founded by Frank Denison in 1948 on the old Dooley's Basin site, known for aluminium motor yachts built in Fort Lauderdale and Saugatuck, Michigan. Series production ended in the 2000s, and the later Dania Beach yard went on as a refit and repair site.
