Welcome to Brooklin Boat Yard
Brooklin Boat Yard, Inc. was started in 1960 by yacht designer and builder Joel M. White and is presently operated by Joel's son Steve White. The yard is located in Center Harbor, Maine on the Eggemoggin Reach. The Reach lies between Blue Hill and Penobscot Bays and is in the heart of some of the best cruising grounds on the coast of Maine. By car we are five hours from Boston, MA or three hours from Portland, ME. Bangor International Airport is one hour away.
We are a full service yard which has always specialized in wooden boats. We offer a complete yacht design office, brokerage services, new boat construction and classic yacht restoration services along with routine storage and maintenance. Our haul-out equipment includes a marine railway and a 35 ton Travel Lift. There is 16,000 square feet of inside storage space and a deep water dock. In addition to our regular carpentry, painting, rigging and mechanical services, we offer a complete macine fabrication shop and a modern paint building. Our main shop can accomodate boats up to 120 feet. The wide variety of work done here attests to the skill of our highly qualified and versatile crew. Brooklin Boat Yard custom designed boats are built to be strong and long lasting. In 1979 we started using the WEST system (cold-molded, wood/epoxy) as a construction method and in 1981 we began vacuum bagging our laminates to produce hulls that are exceptionally light, stiff and strong. Today the majority of our new boat construction projects are cold-molded, with the occasional hull being traditional plank on frame construction. Our crew represents some of the finest craftsmen in the marine industry and they are committed to building the best boats for our customers, on time and on budget. The Brooklin Boat Yard design office offers a complete line of yacht design services. This office not only works on in-house new boat construction projects but also works with other yacht designers who chosen to have their projects built by Brooklin Boat Yard. We have built well over eighty boats in our over 40 years of experience. Maybe yours will be next!
