Rodriguez Shipbuilding

Coden and Bayou La Batre AL

Most recent update: September 12, 2020.

Rodriguez Boat Builders, Inc., was an offshoot of S & R Boat Builders, which had been started by Sonny Sprinkle and J. C. Rodriguez in 1976. The company was owned by the next generation of the Rodriguez family as a builder of fishing boats and quickly expanded into tugs and other types of workboat, with its main yard in Coden and a back-up facility in Bayou La Batre. The name was changed to Rodriguez Shipbuilding in 2012. Visit the company at boatbuilderonline.com. The main yard is at 14843 Alba Avenue, in Coden. See it from the air on Google here. In the table below, a B after the hull # signifies a boat built in Bayou La Batre.
