Waterline Design LLC
Designed for the Build. Ready for the Yard.
About the firm
Waterline Design LLC is a marine production design specialist founded in 2019 that delivers fabrication-ready drawing packages, detailed marine design, and 3D modeling for shipyards, naval architects, government contractors, and vessel operators. Specializing in production-focused design using ShipConstructor, Rhino, and AutoCAD, it serves commercial shipyards across the Gulf South and supports U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, and commercial vessel programs. The practice does not provide professional engineering services; all engineering design is performed under the responsible charge of licensed engineers retained by the client.
