Sweetwater Marine provides marine transportation, fleeting, towing, inspections, and logistics support services throughout South Louisiana's waterways.

Our team understands the unique challenges of working on the water and delivers practical solutions that keep commerce moving safely and efficiently.

Sweetwater Marine was formed through the strategic acquisition and integration of Dixie Fleet and Big R Towing.

Built on decades of marine experience and long-standing customer relationships, the company was rebranded as Sweetwater Marine to reflect a renewed vision for growth while preserving the values and service standards that customers had come to trust.

Today, Sweetwater Marine provides marine transportation, fleeting, logistics, and project support services throughout South Louisiana, combining local knowledge, dependable equipment, and responsive service to support customers across the Gulf Coast.

Our Growth Story:

South Louisiana's waterways are unlike anywhere else. Success requires local knowledge, trusted relationships, and the ability to adapt quickly to changing conditions.

Sweetwater combines experienced crews, dependable equipment, and a hands-on approach to deliver responsive marine solutions that keep our customers moving.

Whether supporting daily operations or solving unexpected challenges, we take pride in being the partner customers can count on when the job needs to get done
