About
A NAVSEA-certified shipyard partner, built on craft.
Nautilus is a full-service ship repair, modernization, and fabrication company with locations in San Diego, CA — serving the fleet, research institutions, and industry since 2018.
Who we are
Complex shipboard work, executed end to end.
We offer a comprehensive range of capabilities, including metal fabrication, structural steel manufacturing, welding, pipefitting, electrical work, machinery services through our vetted partner, watertight door and hatch fabrication, and cable-pulling.
Our expertise allows us to handle complex shipboard work equivalent to selected restricted availabilities (SRAs) — planned, staffed, and delivered to NAVSEA standards.
From our shops in San Diego we have mobilized to job sites on both coasts of the continent, the Hawaiian Islands, and Guam.
“I cannot speak highly enough about Nautilus — their work, diligence, solid character, and artistry in their craft. They have proven themselves to be effective in a myriad of conditions, from the known comfort and quality base of their in-shop fabrication to mobilizing and efficiently executing repair and modification efforts on both east and west coasts of this continent, the Hawaiian Islands, and Guam.”
