10 years of carpentry. A passion for boats. Every detail done right.
Meet Taylor
I’m Taylor, the craftsman behind Pirate Taylor’s Marine Carpentry. With 10 years of carpentry experience and a passion for boats, woodworking, and craftsmanship, I specialize in helping boat owners restore, repair, and improve their vessels.
My work includes teak and brightwork restoration, marine carpentry, exterior woodwork, trim and rail repairs, wood rot repair, custom woodworking, and general boat improvements.
I’m highly detail-oriented and take a lot of pride in my work. I believe the difference between good work and great work is in the preparation, craftsmanship, and attention to the small details. As a sailor and boat owner myself, I understand the importance of doing things properly and building work that can stand up to the marine environment.
Whether it’s bringing weathered teak back to life, repairing damaged wood, or building something completely custom, I’m passionate about what I do and take pride in leaving every project better than I found it.
