Welcome to Kea Kayaks. We build custom wooden kayaks and small boats from kits or plans.








Email me if there are any problems.

Click here for the latest update to the Sail Rig.

I started Kea Kayaks a few months after I finished building my first boat, the Chesapeake triple featured on this site. I enjoyed working on it so much that I thought I would offer my services as a builder. I am based in Edmonds, WA, in the heart of some of the best kayaking and boating in the world.

We charge the price of the kit, finishing supplies, and $18/ hour for labor plus sales tax. Depending on the cost of the kit and size of the project the final cost can be between $2000 - $4000. Contact me for an estimate of what your desired boat will cost. If you provide the kit, we will only charge for supplies and labor.

We will deliver the finished boat anywhere in the Puget Sound area for no extra cost. Boats can be shipped anywhere in the US/Canada for an additional fee.

7/14/06 - I just signed on to give a presentation on stitch-glue-techniques at the Wooden Boat Festival in Port Townsend in early September. I will update this page when I receive the finalized schedule. Website for the festival can be seen at: http://www.woodenboat.org/festival/

9/9/06 - My presentation was a big success! Thanks to all of you who attended and then visited the website. In other news, I have relocated across the Puget Sound to Edmonds, WA, so delivery of boats to customers in the Seattle area will be a snap.

01/20/07 - Thanks to my friend Brett Buchanan, Kea Kayaks now has a new logo!
