Built by Hand.
Inspired by Water.

Custom basalt boats for life on the Delta and beyond.

Nestled along the banks of the Mobile-Tensaw Delta, Tensaw Boatworks is where tradition meets timeless craftsmanship. Every boat we build is a tribute to the coastal lifestyle, designed with purpose, shaped by hand and built to last. From paddling through backwaters to cruising open bays, our boats are made to move you, both physically and emotionally.

From classic lines to the sleek performance of our custom skiffs, each vessel in our fleet is a reflection of expert hands and a deep connection to the water. Whether you're chasing stillness or the thrill of the run, we build boats that fit your journey.
