Master craftsmen restoring classic yachts, wooden sailboats, and vintage motor vessels at our Commercial Wharf shipyard. From hull replanking to varnished brightwork, we honour tradition with every plank and every coat of varnish.
Our Services Request a ConsultationFor nearly four decades, Restoincip has been the yard of choice for owners who demand authentic craftsmanship on America's Cup heritage vessels and classic wooden boats.
We work with time-honoured techniques — steam-bent frames, bronze fastenings, hand-planed planks, and multiple coats of marine varnish applied by brush. No shortcuts on heritage vessels.
Our team includes IYRS-trained shipwrights and joiners with decades of experience on Herreshoff, Nevins, and Rhodes designs. Every project is led by a senior craftsman from survey to launch.
Structural repairs, systems upgrades, interior joinery, rigging, and paint — all under one roof at our covered shed on Commercial Wharf with direct access to Newport Harbor.
Numbers that reflect our commitment to classic boat preservation.

"Restoincip brought our 1938 S-Boat back to life with a level of craftsmanship I didn't think existed anymore. The varnished transom alone is a work of art."
— William H., Newport RI
"Transparent communication throughout an 18-month restoration. They treated our Nevins yawl like the family heirloom she is. Worth every penny."
— Margaret & James C., Boston MA
