Great Lakes Location Leaves

PBI Well-Positioned

Peterson Builders, Inc. (PBI) is a full service shipyard located on Lake

Michigan, in Sturgeon Bay, Wis.

PBI is a privately owned company, operating in its present location since 1933, designing, building, con- verting and repairing vessels for both the commercial and military markets. PBI is well-positioned to provide Great Lakes casino boats for operation in the Lake Michigan shore of Indiana and other poten- tial Great Lakes and coastal sites.

As the only full-service new con- struction shipyard operating on

Lake Michigan, PBI is suited to provide a quality casino vessel.

Having been heavily involved in the military shipbuilding projects,

PBI is now balancing a military/ commercial mix with a sizable ex- pansion of its commercial capabili- ties. As a full service yard, PBI has experience in the use of many dif- ferent materials for hull construc- tion and outfitting. PBI has imme- diate space available to support a quick construction or conversion period. Additionally, PBI has de- veloped a wide variety of Great

Lakes and coastal casino boat de- signs, both new construction and conversion of existing vessels, with gaming areas in the 30,000 to 60,000-sq.-ft. range.
