Galley, head, and salon cabinetry and built-in furniture, built for the space and the weight the vessel allows. Wood species and finish matched to what is already on the boat.
Send a few photos of the space, or what you have in mind. You will get a real read on materials, fit, and what the build involves.
Galley or head cabinetry that looks dated next to the rest of an upgraded boat
Doors and drawers swollen or sticking from years of humidity
A salon that needs seating or a table that fits the actual space, not a generic size
Hardware that no longer latches securely underway
Storage that does not work with the boat's odd angles and curves
A 30-year-old boat that runs great but looks tired inside
A zebrawood and Honduras mahogany tabletop core, a curved interior staircase built plank by plank, a fore-and-aft settee with a folding dining table: the same standard of joinery applies whether the piece is a full galley rebuild or a single custom table.
Species and finish are chosen for how the piece gets used, not picked from a single default. Past work has matched teak, sapele, mahogany, zebrawood, and ash to what a boat already carries.
Cabinetry work often connects to these specialties.
A call or a few photos through the estimate form is enough to start. What space you want built out, and what it is being used for now.
Cabinetry and furniture work is quoted after the space is measured and seen in person, since a boat's interior rarely matches standard dimensions.
Once the design and wood species are settled, the estimate covers that scope. If anything changes once the piece is underway, it gets discussed with you first.
Every piece is built, finished, and installed under the master craftsman who quoted it, checked against the space before it is called done.
“We've owned our boat for over 30 years. It still runs and looks great, but we thought it could use an interior upgrade. Keys Marine Carpentry helped us pick out designs that would give the boat a contemporary look, and installed the new cabinets quickly. I'm impressed with the results.”
Patrick W., interior cabinetry
Cabinetry & Furniture covers interior galley, head, and salon pieces, built-in or freestanding. Custom Marine Carpentry covers structural and exterior work like hatches, consoles, and hull framing. Both pages link to each other since a full interior upgrade often touches both.
Matching species, grain, and finish to existing joinery is a normal part of the job. Past work has matched teak, sapele, mahogany, zebrawood, and ash, chosen for how each piece is used and how it needs to wear.
It depends on the scope: a single table is a shorter build than a full galley reconfiguration. Timeline gets discussed once the design and materials are settled during the assessment.
The trade is marine carpentry, but the same joinery and finish work has also gone into residential furniture and staircases when the piece calls for it. Marine-grade hardware and finish practices carry over either way.
That is the point of building it as marine cabinetry rather than adapting residential furniture: joinery, hardware, and finish are all chosen to hold up to motion, salt air, and humidity rather than a stationary interior.
Most measuring, fitting, and installation happens at your dock or marina. Some pieces are built or finished off the vessel before being brought aboard for final installation.
Send what you have in mind, or just the space as it is now. You will get a real read on materials, fit, and what the build involves.
