What does marine joinery include on a boat or yacht?

Marine joinery includes custom-built cabinetry, storage solutions, wall panels, trim, doors, and interior woodwork designed specifically for marine environments using moisture- and salt-resistant materials.

Can you build custom cabinets to fit tight or irregular spaces on boats?

Yes, all marine cabinetry is custom-measured and fabricated to fit tight engine rooms, cabins, galleys, and awkward spaces common on boats, maximizing storage without sacrificing accessibility.

What materials are used for marine-grade cabinetry?

We use marine-grade plywood, solid hardwoods, moisture-resistant laminates, and corrosion-resistant hardware designed to withstand humidity, vibration, and saltwater exposure.

Can you match existing wood finishes and interior styles?

Absolutely. We specialize in color matching, veneer selection, and finish blending so new cabinetry seamlessly integrates with your boat’s existing interior design.

Do custom marine cabinets improve resale value?

Yes, professionally built marine cabinetry enhances functionality, aesthetics, and craftsmanship quality, which significantly improves vessel appeal and resale value.

Can you repair or upgrade existing boat cabinets instead of replacing them?

Yes, we can refinish, reinforce, reface, or modify existing cabinetry to improve durability, layout, and appearance without a full replacement when possible.

How long does a custom marine joinery project usually take?

Project timelines vary based on complexity, but most custom cabinetry jobs take from a few days to two weeks, including design, fabrication, installation, and finishing.

Details

Marine Joinery

Interior
Craftsmanship.

We specialize in saltwater-grade cabinetry. Whether it is boat cabinet repair, a water-damaged bulkhead to replace or a galley to redesign, we use solid Teak and marine substrates that withstand the ocean environment.

Custom Galley Refits

Modernize your storage. We convert deep, unusable iceboxes into efficient drawer banks and fabricate custom spice racks, wine storage, and Corian countertop supports.

Veneer Restoration

Is your interior wood milky or peeling? We strip, re-veneer, and re-varnish bulkheads and cabinetry to match your boat’s original 1980s or 90s grain pattern perfectly.

Saltwater Construction

We do not use MDF or Particle Board. We build exclusively with Marine-Grade Plywood (Okoume/Meranti), Coosa Board, and solid Teak, bonded with West System epoxy.

The Build Process.

From shop to ship.

Assessment

We inspect for hidden rot behind the cabinetry. We measure the "hull curvature" to ensure the new cabinets scribe perfectly to the boat's shape.

Shop Fabrication

We build the carcass in our shop using dado joinery and epoxy. All raw edges are sealed to prevent moisture intrusion before they ever touch the boat.

Installation

The cabinetry is "tabbed" into the hull or mechanically fastened. We scribe the trim pieces on-site for a seamless fit against the liner.

The Finish

We apply 5-10 coats of high-gloss or satin marine varnish (Epifanes/Awlwood) to protect the wood and create that deep, mirror-like depth.

Materials We Use.

Common Questions

Can you match my old wood?

Yes. We source veneers to match the specific grain of older boats (like the warm, golden teak found in 1980s Taiwanese trawlers).

Varnish or Oil?

We recommend Varnish for high-traffic areas (Galley/Tables) as it builds a hard shell. We use Oil for interiors where you want a natural, matte feel.

Marine carpentry Long Beach: what to send for a quote

Tell us the make, model and year of the boat, which cabinets, bulkheads or galley areas need work, and send photos of any soft, stained, milky or peeling wood. Every job starts with an inspection for hidden rot behind the cabinetry, so a single cabinet door and a full yacht interior refit begin with the same assessment.
