Very friendly and capable staff. A good place to park your boat in the off season.
Welcome to Belmont Boatworks!
We are a full-service boatyard located just a few miles from Belfast Bay. Belmont Boatworks was founded in 2012 by Dan Miller, with the simple principles of providing affordable transportation, storage, maintenance and keeping the waterfront accessible to all.
Our Crew of 16 talented tradesmen and women provide accurate estimates, quality craftsmanship, and efficient results. These individuals bring to Belmont Boatworks decades of experience and passion within Carpentry, Mechanical, Paint/Varnish, Fabrication, Rigging, Crane Work, Storage and Transportation for your vessel through all seasons.
Our Facility was designed and built for efficient handling of vessels, both power and sail, up to 65′. From our humble start as a small carpentry shop and one work space, we have grown our facility to over 45,000 square feet. The buildings are engineered for service and maintenance of wood, fiberglass, composite, and steel watercraft. Your vessel will enjoy seven large heated work spaces and a specialized paint bay for all your finishing needs. We have more than 34,000 square feet available of affordable indoor & outdoor storage for your vessel, spars, trailer and gear.
Our work bays include:
- A spacious customized carpentry shop available to manage your structural restoration or fine interior joinery.
- Our well-tooled mechanical bay and crew bring decades of industry experience to your engine repower, outboard service, or systems upgrades & maintenance.
- A paint bay specifically designed for eliminating the dust from your finish work, including a spar bay to handle your mast and rigging needs.
- 8,000 square feet of secure indoor wet storage space to accommodate wooden boats throughout the Off Season. A spring fed irrigated space was specifically engineered to regulate the humidity through the year.
- A waterfront presence to handle your Spring launching, Fall hauling, and rigging.
In addition, our work bays include an indoor 4 ton monorail crane for the heavy lifting, a keel pit for centerboard inspections, & a wash down basin for the Fall season.
Our facilities are awaiting your requests, so contact us today, and let us know what we can do for you.
We Made History!
In April of 2022, we made history when we launched the first Solar Sal 24 (hull #1) on Lake St. George in Liberty. The boat, which is 100% powered by solar panels on its canopy, burns no oil or gasoline, causes no water pollution and generates very little noise. Solar Sal 24 was designed by J.F. Bedard, a marine architect based in Florida, and built by us, Belmont Boatworks.

The prototype Solar Sal 24 was launched on Earth Day 2022.
TESTIMONIALS
I have had Belmont Boatworks do work on my 1987 Ellis 20 motorboat. They have had my boat in their shop and even made a housecall or is it a boatcall at my mooring in Bayside. They have done excellent work at a very fair price and took care of me in a very timely manner. They are also very nice and helpful people.
Where else would we get our boat maintained??? Love it – and all the willingness to help!
A great group of folks with a can-do attitude trying to fill a large hole in the marine service industry around Belfast. They are a little more budget-friendly than the other option in town. They have two over-the-road submersible hydraulic trailers for moving boats from 20′ to 60′ and up to 30 tons and 6.5′ draft. They have a great paint & fiberglass crew who can do some pretty amazing work.
