Service 01 / Custom builds

No models.
Your boat.

We build one boat at a time, around how you'll actually run it: the water, the crew, the gear, and the trips you have in mind.

Before the first drawing / 05 questions

What we'll ask you.

The quote form walks through these. The more you tell us, the closer the first answer gets.

01

How you'll use it

Fishing, diving, family days, charter, racing. A normal week and the big trip.

02

Where you'll run it

Harbor, nearshore, or channel crossings. Where it lives: trailer, slip, or lift.

03

Crew and guests aboard

How many people, how often, and what they need: seating, shade, storage.

04

Performance priorities

Speed, ride, range, fuel burn, stability at rest. What matters most when they pull against each other.

05

Budget and timeline

A range is fine. It tells us what to build first and what can wait.

It depends on the size of the boat and how much goes into it. Your quote comes with a stage-by-stage schedule, and that schedule stays current on your project page so you always know where the build is.
[Draft — Zach to confirm]

A deposit at approval, then payments tied to build stages. Every invoice and payment is listed on your project page. [Owner to confirm schedule]
[Draft — Zach to confirm]

Yes, by appointment. Layup and fit-out are good times to come see the boat and make decisions in person.
[Draft — Zach to confirm]

Usually. Each change is priced as a change order you approve before we do the work. The earlier in the build, the easier the change.
[Draft — Zach to confirm]

We work out the layout and structure with you. When a build calls for a naval architect, we bring one in. [Owner to confirm]
