The Traditional Greenland Skin-on-Frame Kayak

Build a sea kayak the traditional way. These elegant boats are fast, durable and well-suited for surrounding lakes and rivers as well as bigger bodies of water. The instructors at Skipping Fish Boat School will guide you through the process of designing and building a boat that fits your anthropomorphic measurements and your skill level as a paddler. The cost of building a traditional Greenland kayak is $1200. *Receive a 5% discount on two kayaks when you register with a family member or friend.

Skipping Fish Boat School currently offers adult classes on Wednesday and Thursday evenings from 6 p.m.-9 p.m. The workshop will accommodate the construction of four kayaks so opportunities to begin construction of new boats become available as other individuals complete their boats.

Boat Building instruction can be scheduled on an individual basis. We can provide a week long opportunity for you to build a boat but you must be able to commit to a rigorous week of work. The good news…you go home with an elegant skin-on-frame kayak at the end of the week.
