Landry Boat Works is a family owned boat yard which has a long tradition of quality boat building and repair. The Landry family first came to the U S from Europe in the 1700s and settled across Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. The French influenced the area as they settled in to ply their hard working artistic heritage. Landry Boat Works has been worked by members of the family for over 65 years when Roy Landry first bought it. Two more brothers Joe Landry and Shine Landry joined Roy and started to upgrade the facilities which would build the strongest shrimper on the Gulf of Mexico.
