The Wooden Boatshop

The Wooden Boatshop We are experts in building & restoring timber boats. We offer both second-hand couta & wooden boats for sale.

We have a full chandlery with bronze boat fittings & caulking irons. We also design & manufacture wooden flagpoles and provide nautical flags. The Wooden Boatshop occupies 2½ acres in the historic Victorian settlement of Sorrento on Port Phillip Bay, Australia. The business has evolved from a purpose built facility for Couta Boat construction to a complete facility for wooden boat design, construc

tion, restoration and maintenance. Visit The Wooden Boatshop Sorrento to purchase items from our chandlery, enquire about new boats, flagpoles or to discuss works from our vast range of services.

Lovingly held by the same family for over 25 years and restored by Blunt Boatbuilders, she offers a rare opportunity to secure a genuine Pompei with real character and presence.
