Each wooden Skiff Craft boat takes two to three months to build and therefore a limited number are produced each year. Everything is crafted by hand. A master builder personally selects the materials that will be custom milled and machined. Air-dried white oak is selected for the keel and one-piece ribs are steamed and formed. Fir plywood with a hardwood exterior, special-ordered from the Pacific Northwest, is chosen for the keel-to-gunwhale full lapstrake hull. Fifteen-ply fir and mahogany are used for the transom.

Small building teams take each Skiff Craft boat from framework to finishing. Only the best materials are utilized in each boat such as brass screws and stainless-steel through-hull bolts. Wood preservatives, sealers, varnishes, and paints are skillfully applied. The engine, controls, carpeting, interior features, and custom-ordered accessories are carefully and meticulously installed.

Each Skiff Craft boat is a truly one of a kind and built one at a time. Therefore, we work with each buyer to customize a design that will meet his or her individual needs and style. Our standard models are the 26-Foot and the 31-Foot Skiff Craft. 22 and 24-Foot models are also available as custom orders.

Throughout the North American boat industry, they just don't build boats like this anymore. Skiff Craft boats are the exception.
