Hello. My name is Walter Baron. I run the one-man boat shop you see on these web pages.

I build boats using wood as the main structural material, one at a time, in my shop in Wellfleet, Massachusetts, on Cape Cod.

Building a Simmons Sea Skiff

18' Wide Guide
Beautifully Finished
Using techniques ranging from Traditional Lapstrake to Plywood on Frame to modern Plywood/Epoxy/Fabric composite construction, I can build a boat suited to your particular needs.

Yes, it will require some maintenance and care. Yes, it will be unique and beautiful, drawing admiring looks and questions wherever you go. Don't come looking for the best monthly payment on a 19' deepV center console 200HP with trailer and lots of shine.

Most of my boats are based on traditional designs that have stood the test of time and sea. They are not the fastest or glossiest boats on the waterfront. They are comfortable and efficient, gaining character and patina with use, age, and care.

Recent boats have been in the 10' to 24' range, mostly sport fishing and pleasure use, with a couple of small work boats in the mix. Row, sail, or power, custom design or stock plan, contact me to discuss and build a boat suited to your particular needs.
