Nance and Underwood Rigging and Sails

Operating from their Fort Lauderdale facility since their founding, Nance and Underwood Rigging and Sails has established itself as a full-service rigging and sail specialist serving sailboats and motor yachts throughout Broward County and surrounding areas. The business handles vessels of all sizes, from small sailboats to mega-yachts, with particular depth in rigging systems, sail services, and marine canvas work.

Their rigging capabilities span both standing and running rigging installations and repairs, complemented by comprehensive sail services that include new sail fabrication, repairs, and modifications.

Beyond traditional sailboat rigging, Nance and Underwood provides support for mega-yacht operations and has worked with cruise line vessels requiring specialized rigging solutions.

Marine canvas, covers, and upholstery round out their core offerings, addressing the protection and comfort needs essential in Florida's intense sun and marine environment.

The Fort Lauderdale location positions Nance and Underwood strategically within one of the nation's most concentrated marine corridors, with easy access to clients in Dania Beach, Hollywood, and throughout the broader Broward County boating community. Their experience with local conditions—from the demanding sun exposure to the specific requirements of vessels operating in South Florida waters—informs their approach to materials selection and installation techniques. The facility serves private yacht owners, commercial marine operators, fishing vessel crews, and marine industry professionals who require reliable rigging and marine systems work.

The business has built its client base through consistent quality workmanship and the ability to handle both routine maintenance projects and complex custom installations. Their range of services allows boat owners to address multiple systems and needs through a single provider familiar with their vessel's history and requirements.

As Fort Lauderdale continues to serve as a hub for both recreational and commercial marine activity, Nance and Underwood Rigging and Sails maintains its position as a multidisciplinary marine service provider capable of addressing the diverse technical needs of modern sailing and motor vessels throughout South Florida's coastal communities.
