We build Dories. Day
in, day out, one after the other. We have been building dories for nearly
90 years now and, except for a few power tools, we build them the same
way we’ve always built them, with the same wood, the same fastenings, the same oars, the same paint, the same everything! We like it that way. It works and it will continue to work as long as the sea is salty, and the ocean has waves.
That’s not to say nothing ever changes here. Just a short time ago, our shop changed hands. That won’t affect the fine line of dories and custom wooden boats for which our shop is known. Instead, we intend to build on these finest traditions and offer additional classic designs. It’s a new chapter in this Maritime business’ history and one we’re happy to share here.
With the change of ownership, we will also be taking a fresh look at things;
like this website and ways we can provide you — our
customers and friends — with more information about the things you
care about; things like fine lines and craftsmanship, traditional building
techniques and great wooden boats. To this end, we’re launching a new
page aimed at sharing pictures and progress on the projects we have Underway.
We aim to update this frequently so check back often.
Finally, a look around the yard shows us we’ve got a great selection of brand-new, freshly-painted dories, punts and skiffs in stock and ready to go right now, and they’re
priced to sell. Have a look.
Domestic
and international

The DORY SHOP has exported dories to the United States and Mexico. We are
interested in developing our position in these markets. Interested agents
and distributors are invited to contact us.
