LARGE BOAT COLLECTION

Celebrating the Magnificence & Heritage of Large Wooden Vessels

From voyages of discovery to pleasure cruises, wooden boats put humans on the water and help keep them there today ... with a beauty, style, and durability often unmatched by today’s more contemporary vessels. Once ubiquitous on the world’s waterways, larger wooden boats are a rare and disappearing breed. Come and visit one of the best collections of the art & craft of the wooden boat on the water at this year’s Newport Beach Wooden Boat Festival. Over 25+ of these beautiful craft will be on display for you to view and board. Take some time to wander their decks, talk to their proud owners, and appreciate everything that goes into building and maintaining these beautiful craft.

SMALL BOAT COLLECTION

Exploring the Elegance of Small Wooden Craft

The beauty of wooden boats is not limited to large, ocean-going powered cruisers or yachts. Smaller runabouts and sailing skiffs are equally prized for their representations of the art & craft of the wooden boat. You may have seen some 1 or 2 of these floating works of art as they cruised by on sheltered bays and island waterways. Now experience the unique opportunity to see a wonderful collection of them all in one spot at this year’s Newport Beach Wooden Boat Festival. You won’t be able to miss them as they line your entry to the festival!
