ABOUT THE CH MARINE SHIPYARD

Close proximity to the Hampton’s provides easy access for visitors to order and build a new vessel or admire the creation of the builder's finest downeast yachts. Coecles Harbor Marine has been honored to handcraft and create some of the finest yachts for over 30 years.

In 2000, CH expanded our facilities and opened a new boat building shop down the street from the boatyard, and it is here where each new Shelter Island yacht takes shape. The company is fortunate to have a staff of highly-skilled carpenters, mechanics, electricians, painters and fiberglass specialists in the factory; the common goal here is to build the best.

The meticulous attention to detail is what guides the team through the building process, thus resulting in boats that are of unparalleled quality and beauty. Perhaps it's the extreme determination for perfecting the craft that helps explain why the majority of boats built by the shipyard are still in the hands of their original owners.


MATERIALS USED IN CONSTRUCTION

Each hull is built to last using vinylester resin and gelcoat, KEVLAR® fiberglass cloth vacuum bagged with a Corecell foam core. The hardware, system components and machinery we use have all been selected for quality and longevity. If it costs a little more, than so be it; we do not compromise.

Only the finest teak is used when building a Shelter Island yacht, each piece being selected for grain and color. They are painstakingly hand crafted into the beautiful pieces of brightwork found on every boat we build. For example, the windshield on a Runabout is truly a work of art, a fine piece of furniture that’s built tough enough to withstand the chance encounter with a cresting, crashing wave. The exterior teak is finished with a traditional tung oil varnish, applied one coat at a time and hand rubbed between coats for a finish that must be seen to be appreciated. The process doesn’t end until our varnisher is satisfied that the grain is filled to perfection (usually requiring upwards of 12 coats). It’s no wonder that these Downeast style boats turn heads in every port.
