History

Victoria Marine’s roots extend back to 1978 with Keith Marine, Inc. (KMI), the first family shipyard. Located in Northeast Florida, the Keith Family, began producing custom-built expedition and traditional motor yachts in the late nineties.

KMI specialized in commercial vessel construction including gambling vessels, cruise line tenders, treasure recovery vessels, SWATH vessels, and more.

Building upon a foundation of commercial shipbuilding knowledge with decades of experience in both steel and aluminum fabrication, the Keith’s formed the model for Victoria Marine.

Kevin and Nick Keith have over 55 years of collective experience in the shipbuilding and metal fabrication industry. Leading the Victoria Marine team in metal construction, they have extensive capability in precision metalworking, routinely working within exacting tolerances.
