Wooden Boat Repair

Wooden boat repair is our core focus. From structural timber repairs to caulking, we approach each project with a deep understanding of traditional construction methods and the current needs of the vessel. Whether you're dealing with rot, damage, or routine maintenance, we put care and skill into every detail to help your boat stay strong, seaworthy, and true to its heritage.

Boat Cabinetry and Furnishings

We bring the same level of craftsmanship and attention to detail to a boat’s interior, whether it’s repairing or replicating historical cabinetry, modifying existing layouts, or building entirely new interiors. We also handle the installation of appliances and systems, ensuring perfect fit and robust mounting.

Woodworking

Our shop is fully equipped for all scales of woodworking, from milling to fine joinery. With both modern tools and the skilled use of traditional woodworking methods, we provide high-quality production in wood. Whether to facilitate custom fabrication and repairs for your vessel, or for standalone constructions, we are able to undertake any scale of project.

Metalworking

For both historical replication and custom fabrication, our on-site metalworking facilities include machining, TIG welding, and bronze casting. These capabilities facilitate quick production for time sensitive projects and ensure your specialty parts exactly match your needs.

CNC Routing

Our 4’x8’ CNC Routing table brings modern tooling to our boatworks, allowing the production of repeated parts in wood and aluminum. Sized for full-sheet plywood, our machine is perfect for plywood boat construction projects. Its 3D capabilities allow for efficient carving of signage, traditional boat nameboards, and many other types of projects.

Painting and Varnishing

Whether putting the final touches on your project or giving your boat a fresh look, we provide painting and varnishing services with expertise in yacht enamels, deck coatings, and traditional and modern varnishes.
