Testimonials
“Conjure in your mind the image of a boat shop and you’ll actually see Haven Boatworks. Their wooden structure epitomizes a traditional boat shop in aspect, culture and talent.... Truly, Haven’s talented workers make the organization so compelling. [They] have assembled an expert team of shipwrights and finishers dedicated to their craft. Their passion and skill is exemplified in their quality of work. If you need anything done to your boat, look up Haven Boatworks. You won’t be disappointed.”
“Haven restored my Concordia yawl over a 15-16 month period in 2007-2008. The boat had everything done to it and the workmanship and finishes were without peer. This is not just my assessment. “Vintage” won the Best Restored Sailboat and the Best Overall Sailboat (in 2009 and 2011) at the Victoria Classic Boat Festival against some of the best wooden boats in our region. Simply put, if you want the best finishes (varnish or paint) in the Northwest or the most competent repairs or restoration to your wooden boat, you can be confident that Haven is up to the task.”
“All of her below the waterline work has been performed by Haven Boatworks..... They are the best. I just had an unfortunate event in Northern BC where Olympus pulled her anchor and went aground on the rocks - I towed her over 400 miles to have them work on her. Their labor rates are more than fair - their knowledge of wooden boats is impeccable - the quality of work is far above what I have ever found in Seattle where the yacht is normally moored. I wholeheartedly recommend them!”
“I can’t thank you all enough for your help - I have had a few other boat yard experiences and I have talked with a bunch of folks about it, and it is clear now that the generosity you guys show in sharing information and experience is really unique and I am more grateful for it than I can say.”
