We specialize in traditional tugboat construction, traditional tugboat designs, tugboat repair, and maintenance for any wooden vessel or traditional tugboat from 15ft – 150ft.
We bought the Ella Mackenzie in 06 and brought it to Commodore’s for a complete retrofit. It required extensive woodwork, decking, guards, bulwark, capping and new stern timber. Its a bit of history and we love the old girl. – Pelle W. (owner Ella Mckenzie)
