Gilbert Associates is a Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering Firm, originally founded in 1964 by John W. Gilbert.

The success of Gilbert Associates is a result of the firm’s broadly based background in ship operations, construction and design.  The office is uniquely equipped for its work by virtue of the broad technical skills of the people within the firm, and the straight-forward honest approach to ship design.

Our Company’s vigorous focus to detail, arrangements, conflict resolution, and structural design is well illustrated by the number of sister vessels built to some of our designs.  Seven separate designs have had sister vessels built for a total of nineteen boats within the last 10 years.
