Brooklin Boat Yard
Secret Ingredient
Many people know of Hewes & Company as a builder of fine homes, but the company also has a thriving business fabricating parts for many of Maine’s best known boatbuilders as well as for designers from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe.
At Home in Port
In addition to building fine boats, three Maine boatbuilders have separately branched out into home construction—waterborne homes, that is. Foy Brown on North Haven, Steve White of Brooklin Boat Yard, and Robinhood Marine’s Andy Vavolotis all built themselves houseboats.

Brooklin Boat Yard in Maine built a high-end yacht designed by Frers with styling by world-famous architect Frank Gehry. The project was rewarding, but very complex.
