When you shop local with Phillips Boatworks, you support sailing on the Outer Banks. With over 40 Years experience in the Yachting Industry–Boatbuilding, Sailmaking, Composites and Captain/Charter and Salvage Services, you are getting the most experienced, skilled and knowlegable craftmanship that the Outer Banks and Hatteras Island have to offer. To keep these skills and passion for the Ocean alive, Phillips Boatworks founded Hatteras Community Sailing Organization, a NC 501(c)3 non profit educational and charitable organization, as a way to pay it forward to the industry by offering Youth Sailing, Boatbuilding and Marine Trades Clinics and Seminars and more. When you shop local with Phillips Boatworks, you can feel reassured that your money is going back into the local maritime community of the Outer Banks and Hatteras Island. We are dedicated to giving back to the Marine industry and we show it by being involved in marine heritage and teaching sailing and boating skills to youth and adults on a daily basis.

Also, if you are interested in learning or improving your boating/sailing skills, getting time on the water or helping us educate our local kids about the Sea, check our Community Sailing Website at hatterassailing.org

Looking Back at 2024 Boatwork Projects

We are into a diverse mix of projects because we have extensive experience in Boatbuilding, Sailmaking, Rigging, Composites and Yacht Systems and Engineering. Having been the owner of North Sails BVI, Stiletto Manufacturing, and working for cutting edge companies like Gunboat International, you can count on the voice of reason, common sense and experience on the water…..in the ballpark of 100,000 blue water miles captaining all kinds of sailing and power boats.
