About
Southwest Florida’s Trusted Marine Experts. From Sarasota to South Naples, we’re building the future of waterfront living with our True Price Guarantee and innovative approach to marine construction.
How We Became Southwest Florida’s Fastest-Growing Marine Construction Company
In 2014, Clayton Crocker and his father Kelley started Crocker Marine Services with a simple vision: bring integrity and innovation to Southwest Florida’s marine construction industry. What began as a small operation focused on boat lift service has transformed into the region’s most trusted name in waterfront construction.
The turning point came in 2022 when Joshua Pleasant joined as CEO, bringing his sales and marketing expertise to complement Clayton’s marine construction mastery. In just four short years, we’ve grown from a single-employee operation to a 50-person team serving six counties – taking our annual revenue from $97,000 to over $12.5 million.
Why Southwest Florida Waterfront Owners Choose Crocker Marine
The Hidden Costs That Frustrated Homeowners
For too long, waterfront property owners in Southwest Florida faced a painful reality: construction projects that started at one price but ballooned with unexpected “change orders” and surprise costs. Hurricane Ian made this problem even worse, with homeowners desperate for repairs but fearful of contractor reliability.
We revolutionized the industry with our True Price Guarantee – the only protection of its kind in marine construction. When you sign a contract with Crocker Marine, that’s your final price. No surprise costs, no unexpected change orders, no financial stress during your project.
“We’re the professionals, not the homeowners. It’s our responsibility to evaluate the job site thoroughly and send the correct proposal the first time.” -Joshua Pleasant, CEO
