Three generations on the water.
What started as a small commercial diving outfit in Portsmouth, Virginia is today a globally trusted marine, diving, and lifting company.
Built on safety, service, integrity & innovation.
Crofton began in 1949 as a commercial diving company. For more than seven decades, we've grown by listening — adding crane services, marine construction, and heavy hauling as our clients' projects demanded more from us.
Today, Crofton is one of the few companies on the East Coast that can mobilize a fully integrated team — divers, riggers, operators, mariners, and project managers — working under a single safety culture and a single point of accountability.
We're proud to be headquartered in Portsmouth, Virginia, and to take that hometown trust to projects around the country and around the world.
