Traditional Wooden Boatbuilding, Restoration & Marine Engineering
-
Based in County Waterford and serving clients across Ireland, McLoughlin Boat Company provides traditional wooden boatbuilding, structural repairs, restoration, marine surveys and professional marine engineering services.
At McLoughlin Boat Company, tradition and craftsmanship are at the heart of everything we do.
We specialise in the art of wooden boatbuilding — combining heritage Irish techniques with modern precision to create vessels that are as enduring as they are beautiful.
Each boat we build or restore is a celebration of Ireland’s maritime story.
From full restorations to new builds, our focus is on quality, authenticity, and lasting performance.
We take pride in work that not only stands up to the sea but carries forward a living tradition — one plank, one fastening, one launch at a time.
At McLoughlin Boat Company, we don’t just build boats — we build heritage that sails.

Recent work: Custom swim platform
Built for a client, this swim platform pairs a shaped timber deck with a metal frame and a ladder with matching timber steps. It’s a lovely example of the detailed, practical work our team takes on.
