Our Mission

The Mission of Gig Harbor BoatShop is to preserve, interpret, and perpetuate Gig Harbor's historic working waterfront, the traditional small boatyard and Northwest maritime heritage. Located at the historic Eddon Boatyard site, GHB will advance this mission through the teaching of traditional and contemporary skills inherent in the building, repair and use of sailboats, powerboats, commercial boats and small craft that the vanishing family operated boatyards of the Northwest have traditionally served.
