Padebco’s V32 Cruiser featured in Southern Boating’s 16 Downeast Delights
Padebco has been building traditional Downeast-style recreational boats that lean toward luxury for over 60-years. Padebco boats are revered for their classic lines, strength, and longevity. Our custom boats range from 21 – 32 foot cruisers, center consoles, and walkarounds to one-off builds, 17-foot skiffs, and finished hulls.
The unique experience of designing your own cruising vessel is shared by a fortunate few. At Padebco, you are an integral part of the team. Each boat is customized to our client’s needs, vision, and desires. Our seasoned staff collaborates with each client to select the details of their boat and include them throughout the construction of building the boat of their dreams. The genuine craftsmanship and design that is part of each Padebco custom boat combined with ideas and input of its owners result in a distinctive vessel.
Padebco maintains a reputation for quality craftsmanship and attention to detail that are part of our well-built boats. We pride ourselves on maintaining high standards of quality and service while cultivating long-lasting relationships with our clients.

This yard is efficient, thorough, and full-service. I cannot recommend it more highly.
My search for a reputable, fair and honest yard is over. Padebco, you’re the one for me.
Our experience designing our custom boat with Padebco was excellent, your advice and support made the process easy. We have a beautiful boat that we absolutely adore.
To say that we are pleased with the results of our refit doesn’t come close — we are overjoyed.
What a great experience! You stored our boat, completed the list of winter work and had it ready when I wanted it! The boat looked like it had been detailed when I picked it up. Thanks!
My engine has never run better! My boat was delivered on time and clean. Thanks! You guys did a great job.
Outstanding service-oriented boatyard.
We built our boat with you seven years ago. It is a wonderful boat. You’ve been very helpful in helping us maintain it – it looks as good today as it did when we bought it!
Having a boat hand-built to Maine standards has been a dream for many years. I am extremely proud to own a Padebco.
When I am out and about, rarely a day goes by without someone asking about my Padebco. Its size, design, trim, comfort, and superb handling make it a treasure to own. (Owner of V25 Center Console)
You build a beautiful boat.
We are proud that the name Padebco has become synonymous with quality craftsmanship, and we are honored to have earned the trust and gained the loyalty of our clients for custom built boats, storage, and service work.
