For many years we set up the Shilshole Boat Show and have been setting up the Seattle Boats Afloat show for the last 10 years for both their summer and winter events. We can set up and anchor many types of events on the water. We have the contacts to procure floating sectional docks and barges as well as a working knowledge of what is needed to be compliant when working over the water.
If you need renewal of chains on your houseboat, small dock repair or if you need to renew the tops of old pilings with a cement sleeve. We can help. For over 100 years we have been in the maintenance business, but have not advertised this to our clients. Maintaining docks and waterfront facility in Lake Union was just part of the day to day operation of the company. Over the years we have helped our friends and neighbors with these same projects when the need arose. Now we would like to help you. From wood planked pier repairs, to mobile welding service on the water. Give us a call.
Ever since Cap Webster opened for business in 1915, we have been maintaining and refitting our tugboats, Barges and facility with our own crew. Back then it was lumber and nails, while today seems to be more about Steel and aluminum. Fremont Tugboat offers a wide variety of services to its customers. We have built gangways, wheelhouse conversions, custom deck lockers, exhaust parts, davits, rudders, anchor rollers and winch pads just to name a few. We also offer mobile welding service if needed.
Fremont Tugboat Company also offers diving service to its customers. Floatation barrels under houseboats, small underwater repairs, replacing of zinc anodes and propellers, are just some of the services we can provide. As well as recovery of sunken items, salvage, or the renewing of mooring buoy pennants and chain.
