We respectfully acknowledge the traditional custodions of the land and waterways on which we live, work and play, the Bunurong people of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respect to Ancestors  past, present and future. Sovereignty has never been ceded.

When Tim  and a group of like-minded friends were messing around with old couta boats they started the Portsea Fishing Boat Regatta (now The Portsea Cup). In the late 1970s Tim identified a strong interest among the public for recreational boats with working origins.

Already a master builder Tim undertook an informal boat building apprenticeship, restoring Couta Boat Wattle with Jack Norling and building the 28’ couta boat Sally with Ken Lacco. Wooden Boat Shop  was then founded upon a demand to share in the romance and pleasures of wooden boats and the nautical lifestyle.

From a humble garden shed beginning, Wooden Boat Shop evolved into an operation with five factories over two locations, offering services from a D-shackle on a Sunday morning before sailing, to new vessel constructions.
