Our Story

West Head Boatbuilders Ltd was established in 2016 by owner Andrew Newell, with the first boat being built by Andrew and his crew in the parking lot in front of the current boat shop location. It was a great summer for building a boat outside as the rain held off, and the sun shone day after day! The first structure that was erected to construct new boats inside was completed November of 2016. West Head Boatbuilders expanded to two boat shop buildings in the summer of 2017.

Currently, the business of building boats for our customers is managed by Dana Stewart who has been in the trade of building Cape Islander style boats for at least 25 years! His skill in motivating and managing our crew is evident in the final production of these amazing lobster and fishing boats. West Head Boatbuilders Ltd believes in offering strong competitive wages to its workers and an inviting and productive work environment.
