Atkin Cabin Boy Custom Built Boat Wood/Composite

The Cabin Boy is a beloved 7 feet wooden skiff originally designed as a tender for auxiliary sailboats. It gained wide recognition after being featured in Building the Skiff Cabin Boy by Clemens C. Kuhlig (International Marine), a comprehensive guide that inspired countless boatbuilders around the world. Compact, seaworthy, and beautifully proportioned, the Cabin Boy offers both simplicity and elegance in a small-boat form.Our factory faithfully recreates the Cabin Boy using premium woods such as Western Red Cedar, Teak, Mahogany, and US -made Hexcel fiberglass with System Three marine spar varnish. Each model is entirely hand-built using the traditional plank-on-frame construction method, requiring 4-5 months of meticulous craftsmanship. Customization is available for size, wood type, finish, rigging, and interior detailing to meet individual preferences.
