What We Do

Five capabilities.
Full marine scope.

Santiva self-performs the full marine scope Southwest Florida demands. We work as both a direct contractor for waterfront owners and HOAs, and as the specialized marine subcontractor primes call when access, logistics, or execution complexity rules out their usual options.

Service Area · Marine Access

Naples to
Boca Grande.

Most contractors can build. Fewer can reliably mobilize crews, equipment, and materials to difficult waterfront sites.

With an operational base on Sanibel and established staging across Pine Island, North Captiva, and Port Charlotte, we serve the full Southwest Florida coast. Self-sufficient with a 40-foot aluminum work barge and full equipment fleet. Active subcontract work extends north into Sarasota County.

About Santiva

The marine execution partner
primes and waterfront owners trust.

Santiva Marine Recovery is a licensed and bonded Florida marine contractor based in Sanibel. We are the preferred first-tier subcontractor for prime contractors requiring specialized marine scope — barging, seawall expertise, dock reconstruction, and storm recovery execution — and we contract directly with waterfront owners and HOAs across Southwest Florida.

Our focus is simple: get the job done safely, efficiently, and without unnecessary complexity. We operate at the scale where clients need a self-sufficient, accountable marine specialist — not a large generalist contractor and not an undercapitalized operator.
