The Maine Built Boats Report
Join Maine Built Boats as we talk with boatbuilders, boat owners, and members of our industry to learn what makes boatbuilding in Maine so unique. The art of boatbuilding in Maine today, which uses cutting edge technology, reflects over 400 years of boatbuilding history. Our builders' capabilities run the gamut from state of the art composite construction to traditional plank-on-frame, and everything in between. Maine Built Boats, big or small, power, paddle or sail, are built with superior craftsmanship, durability, materials and engineering. These builders would never allow anything less.
