History Behind Our Name

Seaboard Engineering and Construction was named after the Seaboard Railway (Charlotte Harbor and Northern Railway) which ran the length of Gasparilla Island and left its Historical footprint on the Island we now call home.

The original railway was constructed in order to transport large amounts of Phosphate from the Peace River to the Port of Boca Grande, located at the South end of the Island as well as passenger service to the Island. The creation of a newer port facility in Tampa Bay led to the closure of the Boca Grande Port in 1979. In 1981 the Railway was abandoned from Boca Grande to Arcadia.

After abandonment of the railway, Bayard Sharp acquired the railroad right of way and built the now famous bike path we all enjoy today.

Seaboard Engineering and Construction strives to continue making Gasparilla Island a cherished and welcoming home by serving the islands construction needs.
