Testimonials

Burgar's Boat Co has expertly handled the maintenance of my wooden boats for many years, starting with my 27ft Couta Boat that I owned for over 20 years. Currently, they look after my 62ft paddle boat, which has undergone extensive refurbishment, including paddle boat repairs to the drive system, hull, and internal layout. Jordan and his team of traditional shipwrights are knowledgeable, friendly, and have a keen eye for detail and quality craftsmanship. Recently, they also assisted with an upgrade to the family ski boat, which involved leaving the boat on blocks while the trailer was rebuilt. I have no hesitation in recommending Jordan and Sarah's Burgar's Boat Co for any wooden boat restoration needs.

I had the pleasure of watching and assisting a little with Jordy Burgar from Burgar's Boat Co in Goolwa as he performed extensive paddle boat repairs on our vessel 'Hebe'. Utilizing traditional shipwrights' techniques, he expertly steamed planks, used copper nails, and caulked with oakum, pitch, and tar. It was amazing to watch and learn about wooden boat restoration. We are forever grateful for the seemingly effortless professionalism Jordy exhibited, from addressing our concerns to executing detailed and precise work on the boat. We'll definitely be back. Very Highly Recommended.

"I was a bit apprehensive at first due to some negative experiences I've had in the past. Being fussy and passionate about my old boat, I sought out professionals for paddle boat repairs. Jordy and his team at Burgar's came highly recommended as traditional shipwrights, not just handymen. From start to finish, they communicated clearly with no surprises. They were highly professional, fairly priced, and an absolute pleasure to work with. I am thrilled with the outcome of the wooden boat restoration and would return in a heartbeat. If you're considering giving them a try, don't hesitate—do it!"-Mike

My family and I are extremely grateful to the team at Burgar's Boat Co for their excellent work on our paddle boat repairs, which helped fulfill a long-held dream. We especially thank Dave, whose wealth of knowledge in wooden boat restoration made the transformation of 'Happy Galah' remarkable. To everyone at Burgar's Boat Co, our family appreciates your honest, open, and friendly service, reminiscent of traditional shipwrights.
