Welcome to Mare Island Dry Dock!
Mare Island is the oldest shipyard facility on the West Coast, located in Vallejo, California – 23 miles northeast of San Francisco. It was established in 1854 as the first United States Naval base on the Pacific Ocean. Mare Island served as a major naval shipbuilding and repair facility for over 140 years. Naval operations cased in 1996 and Mare Island was decommissioned.
Fast forward to November 2013: Mare Island Dry Dock, LLC was formed and the doors reopened for the purposes of vessel repairs, overhauls and dry dockings for both commercial and government vessels.
