Owner and Operator

Meet Austin Spitler

“As a former Ohio State Buckeye Captain and NFL Miami Dolphin player, I learned the value of leading by example, fostering collaboration, and inspiring others to reach their full potential. I’ve channeled that same drive and discipline into the construction industry, working on waterfront homes and large-scale commercial projects before specializing in boat lifts, seawalls, and docks. Living on the water with my family, I understand the importance of creating durable and beautiful marine structures. I believe in treating every customer like family, maintaining open communication, and ensuring no detail is overlooked. Let’s create something remarkable together — on the water, for the water.” 

As the sole owner of Yacht Lifters, Austin takes immense pride in the company’s commitment to professionalism, strong communication, follow-through, and high-quality work from start to finish. He leads the team with discipline, excellence under pressure, and a relentless drive for results, values instilled during his football career.

Boating runs in the family — Austin’s father-in-law owns Blackfin & Monterey Boats. Outside of work, Austin enjoys time with his wife and three kids, embracing the fun, active waterfront lifestyle that inspires his work.
