Boat Building And Repair Services:

1. We design and build power and sailing multihulls from 16 to 80 feet overall length, of any materials you wish: wood/epoxy/fiberglass; foam core construction; or all fiberglass.

We work under a well-defined construction contract that specifies both your fixed cost and delivery date. See our contact information further down this page to get an estimate or bid for your boat.

We will beat both the price and quality of any boat building shop in the USA. We guarantee you can  find a cheaper builder, but not a cheaper and BETTER builder! We also warrant our boats against defects in materials and workmanship for one year from finish date.

(Below) A 40-foot “Lagoon Bus” under construction in our boatshop in the Marshall Islands.

2. We build boats from other people’s designs (with proper documentation and licensing), with the same guarantee.

3. We repair ALL boats: sailboats, Forces, Radons, Mosquitoes, and homebuilts. We give free estimates, and will bring our crew to your island to work in your boatyard during a haulout or repair if you can’t find anyone qualified locally.

(Below) No boat is too “bus-up” for us to be able to repair it back to nearly-new condition!

For construction or repair estimates, call Tim (808) 640-1981, or if you can’t reach him, call Susanne (808) 640-1980; to help us understand your project.
