Callinectes (Latin for "Beautiful Swimmer") Boatworks specializes in the design and build of mahogany runabouts reminiscent of the 1940's,50's, and 60’s built using modern techniques and materials to minimize maintenance and to maximize enjoyment on the water..

The natural beauty of wood, the durability of a fiberglass hull, a fuel-efficient, low-emissions engine coupled to a jet-pump, and room for the entire family reflect our operating principles: safety, environmental stewardship, beauty, and family fun.

These modern classic runabout boats, resembling the Chris-Craft and Riva wooden boats of yesteryear, are custom built to order by a Maine boatbuilder in Kennebunkport, ME.
