Why Choose Us?
Buying a new fishing vessel is not a typical, everyday purchase.
For most operators, it is an important investment tied to their livelihood, safety, and legacy. While every buyer approaches the process differently, the criteria they use is often deeply practical, shaped by experience.
So why choose d’Eon Boatbuilding? Here are a few things to consider…
Reputation & Word-of-Mouth
A builder’s name travels through wharves, co-ops, and kitchens. One good boat creates more orders. One bad experience can echo for years. While most of our clients are in Atlantic Canada, we have delivered vessels as far away as Nunavik in Northern Quebec to Tobago in the Caribbean. We are proud of the reputation we have created and continue to work hard to retain that trust.
We Understand the Fishery
Most fisherman want to work with a builder who knows their world.
We know the difference between lobster, scallop, crab, dragger, and longliner needs.
We understand deck flow, gear storage, and working ergonomics.
We appreciate seasonal changes, crew size, and port conditions.
Customization with Practical Wisdom
We’ll always work with clients to deliver what they want and provide honest feedback to allow them to make informed decisions. Whether it’s thoughtful guidance on trade-offs or “You can do that, but here’s what it costs you in space, stability, or serviceability.”, we will always give straight answers.
Reliability, Serviceability,
& After-Sale Support
A boat that can’t be fixed easily can be a potential liability and downtime is lost revenue.
That’s why we put a lot of thought into:
Value, Not Just Price
Money always matters but it doesn’t always matter most! Longevity, fuel efficiency, build quality, and resale, all factor into the Value equation.
At the end of the day, you are buying more than a vessel. You are buying confidence that your boat will keep you and your crew safe, work hard, and earn its keep for many years to come!
We welcome the opportunity to show you the d’Eon difference!
