 Why Northwind Marine?  Over the past 20 years, the group at NORTHWIND MARINE has earned a reputation for building the highest quality aluminum vessels for both commercial and pleasure use.

NORTHWIND MARINE, headed by President Bruce Reagan, is especially proud of its outstanding employees, superb craftsmanship and operating procedures, which combine traditional craftsmanship with advanced marine construction methods.

NORTHWIND MARINE has built an exceptionally wide variety of vessels for fire departments, search and rescue, law enforcement, and the military; pollution control and hazardous materials response agencies; the commercial fishing industry; passenger carrying and dive boat operators; and yacht owners who expect the very best.  NORTHWIND MARINE is an organization where everyone shares the “customer first” vision, an uncompromising dedication to quality, and a desire to improve constantly through technology.

NORTHWIND’s distinction for building the most challenging boat designs is exceptional.  The NORTHWIND group has built passenger carrying submarines, pleasure craft, and award-winning sailing and motor yachts, and completed many vessel modifications such as hull extensions, helipads and complete superstructures.  The NORTHWIND group, which includes Sovereign Yacht, has received awards from Showboats Magazine, Maritime Reporter Magazine, and the International Superyacht Society.  The American Bureau of Shipping awarded its highest rating of “Maltese Cross A-1 Yachting Service” to Sovereign’s 110-foot sailing yacht Venturosa.

Why aluminum?  Aluminum is clearly the deciding factor when ruggedness, corrosion resistance, lowest maintenance costs, and length of service are important considerations.  In strength to weight ratios, aluminum is lighter than wood, fiberglass, or steel, and is more rugged, fire resistant, and much less vulnerable to impact than fiberglass or wood.  It is much easier to maintain than steel and will not rust.  It will not blister, rot, spark, or magnetize, and is virtually fireproof.  There is simply no other shipbuilding material that can take it and dish it out like today’s tough marine grade aluminum alloys.  When considering “life cycle cost,” aluminum boats cost less, last longer, and have the highest resale values.

Where are we located?  NORTHWIND MARINE is located at 605 South Riverside Drive, Seattle, Washington, 98108.  The facility is just south of the main part of Seattle in a major industrial area on the Duwamish River, and is close to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, Boeing Field and Interstate 5.  Please call (206) 767-4497 for driving directions.
