Led by Paul Brackley with 30 years of experience as a boat builder, their team of skilled craftsmen at Brackley Boats isn’t just about protecting and preserving vintage wooden boats for generations to come; they’re also strongly motivated to keep alive the old skills and workmanship that went into building these distinguished watercraft in the first place. That legendary artisanship helped to make Muskoka the boat-building capital of Canada in the late nineteenth century and into the twentieth century, when the rich and famous came from across North America to purchase from pre-eminent builders such as Minett, Greavette, Duke, and Ditchburn.
