Built by hand in Ventura, California
Quality Handcrafted Woodwork for Nature Lovers and Outdoor Enthusiasts
Crafted With Heart For A Life Well Spent.
Design
Every piece is a one of a kind creation. From digital sketch to custom chosen wood to fiberglass casing, aesthetics and function are woven to craft a work of art that is mantle worthy and nature ready.
Delivery
No shipping cost required. My hassle-free delivery process allows you to receive your unique order straight to your doorstep anywhere in the U.S. while giving me an excuse to take a road trip. I say that's a win-win! (Excludes special circumstances.)
Materials
I strive to use sustainably sourced wood in my projects whenever possible and hope to soon be using 100% recycled wood in every design. Wood types include Western red cedar, Alaskan yellow cedar, purple heart, mahogany, and walnut.

Kayak
Take a bliss filled ride out on the open water in your custom crafted kayak. Good for toning the arms, deep contemplation, and making friends with strangers who can't help but ask, "Where did you get that gorgeous kayak?"
Canoe
The one you load up for a whole afternoon — a second paddler, a dog, a cooler, a rod. Built to whatever length you ask for, from a 14 foot boat for the lake house to something longer for open water.
Paddle Board
While everyone else will be drifting by on generic plastic boards, you'll be gliding across the water. With a sturdy design and fully water proof coating, you can push off with confidence for both a meditative ride and a hearty workout.
Surf Board
Wooden surfboards are stronger, more environmentally friendly, and allow you to connect with the elements in a wholesome and enriching way. And with a stunner like this, you'll be making them.
There's no better feeling than getting out on the water with a craft you trust and love. That's why Ventura Boat Works marries functional design with aesthetic craftsmanship to produce a masterpiece that seamlessly integrates with your natural environment.
