Donkersloot Marine Development Co was started in the 1960's by Arie Donkersloot who emigrated to the United States from his native Holland in the 1950's. In the 50 plus years since, Donkersloot Marine Development Co has been providing top notch and experienced marine and shoreline services.

Arie Sr's sons, Arie Jr and Ronald joined their father in the business in the 1970's and then succeeded their father in 1989 when Arie Sr decided to retire. The tradition, however, has continued. With many awards and innovative experience, the company continues to provide landowners with the peace of mind they value in keeping their property safe.
