Each BOat is Different

Each boat is different. Bay Welding in Homer builds custom aluminum vessels, with an emphasis on the custom, yet they all share the same DNA. Prominent, muscular bows and railings guard the cabins like a knight’s helmet. Forward-leaning windshields lend each boat an aggressive look like they are charging. Characteristic swoops cut into the back of the cabin convey elegance and speed. And the big Suzuki outboards on the back – your average 30-foot gets close to a 50 knot top speed – back that up.

Bay Weld Boats Testimonials

When it was time to build the boat of our dreams, we knew the dedicated team of master craftsmen at Bay Welding would deliver. Bay Welding’s owner, Eric Engebretsen, and office manager, Galadriel King, spent countless hours guiding us through the build process, helping us to understand our options, developing innovative design solutions, and delivering our dream boat, Power Play. Thank you, Bay Welding, for helping us to realize our dream and welcoming us into the Bay Welding family.

- Mike and Amanda Frison

We have had 3 US Coast Guard inspected passenger vessels designed and built by Bay Welding over the past 4 years or so . This included two monohulls (Aligo Point and Alaska Nellie) and a catamaran (Far and Away). Each was a collaboration to devise a unique boat to meet very specific operating missions. EVERY project was a joy, every step of the way. When can you ever say that about something as complicated and demanding as designing and building a one-of-a-kind inspected vessel to withstand open ocean or big lake conditions. . . .
