A Hilmark Boat will most definitely turn heads. She's not just a boat, but a functional work of art. So grab your oars, hoist the sails and turn back time ...

Hilmark Boats Inc is proud to offer boats based on the original wooden boats design off the vintage "Tyee Row Boat", used throughout the 1900's in Campbell River, BC. Hilmark Boats Inc continues a fine tradition of Wooden Boat Building, featuring reclaimed old growth wood. The original Tyee wooden boats were built by Ned Painter from the 1920's until 1932 and then again in the 1950's.

Hilmark Boats Inc offers high quality, handcrafted, traditional wooden boats including the Tyee Row Boat, the beautiful Campbell River Classic Row Boat, as well as new traditionally designed wooden lapstrake boats from W. J. Simmons of Duck Trap Woodworking.

Reviving traditional wood boat-building in Campbell River BC.
