Find Your Next Boat

Our boats are built on a maritime heritage other places only read about. A sense of pride, integrity and craftsmanship that runs from Kittery to Eastport.

A Maine-built boat doesn’t just come from the state of Maine. It comes from a state of mind that’s all but disappeared.

Sail, power. Wood, composite. Custom, production. Find your Maine-built boat.

Ultimately, you have to ask yourself the question:

Does she speak to you?

Don’t look at the spec sheet, just answer from your heart.
Is this the boat you dream about?
Is the craftsmanship flawless? Are the lines authentic and true?
Does it embody centuries of maritime tradition?
Would you be proud to stand on her deck?
Or to put it another way…

Is she a Maine built boat?

Launch a dream.

Where do dreams come from?
From out of the fog and the deep waters off a rocky coastline.
From the inspiration of four centuries of tradition.
And from working in partnership with artisans who know that
if something’s not exactly right, it’s hopelessly wrong.
Don’t cheat on your dream.
