About Us
Welcome! Phillips Boat Works brings 40 years of experience in the yachting industry in 7 different regions. With a general base of experience running sail and motor yachts, we also have owned and operated boat manufacturing, sail lofts, marinas, charter businesses and boating education/sailing schools. Working relationships with proven specialty services and suppliers helps us give you the best possible outcome for your boating dreams.
learning is never ending
Having been a Captain and US SAILING and ASA Instructor since 1990, we lean toward educating our owners so that they learn how to deal with the boat and its systems on their own if they have time and when they are in locations where help is not available. In 2020 we founded Hatteras Community Sailing as a 401(3)c Maritime Educational Program to pay it forward.
There is always a better gadget
Yacht technology is constantly changing and its always amazing to see what is coming next, from bottom paints to electronics and remote monitoring. We keep abreast of some of the most reliable, reasonable and useful systems options available. If you are interested in learning about what types of upgrades might be wise for your boat, don’t hesitate to contact us!
upgrades
Yachts are an ongoing struggle against the elements of salt, sand, moisture and corrosion. Constant care and maintenance sometimes isn’t enough.
All vessels need regular maintenance and systems replacements. Call us if you would like to learn more about how we can help you be on the water more than under the hood.
TOWing, Salvage, Recovery
Hatteras Island has always been a magnet for shipwrecks with its unpredictable weather along the edge of the Gulf Stream, especially in the cold season. We have large and small vessels perfect for emergency towing, marine salvage and recovery, even if you up on the beach. Time is of the essence, though. Every minute counts… call now 252-489-8193
