AL LARSON BOAT SHOP

AL LARSON BOAT SHOP specializes in the design, construction, and repair of specialized small craft for U.S. military operations, with a primary focus on Landing Craft Utility (LCU) and Yard Craft (YC) platforms. The contractor delivers fixed-price, nonseverable contracts for vessels requiring precise naval engineering, including structural reinforcement, propulsion integration, and mission-specific modifications for amphibious logistics. Their technical expertise encompasses steel-hulled vessel fabrication, deck machinery installation, navigation system integration, and DCMA-compliant quality assurance protocols. A key differentiator is their ability to execute complex, time-sensitive shipbuilding modifications under stringent military specifications, particularly for LCU-1681 and C410B-class craft used in beach landing and cargo transport operations. The contractor maintains a consistent, long-standing relationship with the Department of Defense, delivering exclusively naval vessel construction and maintenance services. Their work supports Navy and Marine Corps expeditionary forces, with a focus on enhancing operational readiness through rapid turnaround of critical amphibious assets. All engagements are mission-critical, involving direct support to fleet logistics and force projection requirements. Operating under NAICS 336611, the firm is deeply embedded in the military shipbuilding and repair sector, specializing in small to medium-sized naval craft rather than large surface combatants. This niche positions them as a trusted provider for specialized, low-volume, high-precision vessel work that requires hands-on craftsmanship and naval architecture proficiency. Based in San Pedro, California, AL LARSON BOAT SHOP operates as a small, locally rooted shipyard with no federal certifications on record. Their geographic location provides direct access to Pacific Fleet support infrastructure, enabling efficient logistics coordination and rapid response to operational demands. The company’s market positioning is that of a specialized, non-certified shipbuilder with proven reliability in delivering defense-critical maritime assets under tight operational timelines.
