honest workmanship built to perform
We get it right because we know boats
Upper Falls Boat Works is a family-owned marine shop serving recreational boaters on the Chesapeake Bay.
For over 50 years, our family has lived the marine industry, as marina owners, boat enthusiasts, and craftspeople who understand what Bay conditions actually demand.
Every project, whether it's a new canvas enclosure, replacement cushions, or a full detail, is handled by people who know marine materials and what it takes for work to last.
No generic fits.
No guesswork. Just honest workmanship built to perform.

Our Approach
Pattern-cut to your boat, not to a generic template.
Every piece we make is measured and cut to your exact vessel. The fit is right when it leaves the shop, not after adjustments on the dock.
Marine-grade materials, chosen for the Bay.
We use Sunbrella® fabric, marine-grade vinyl, and proven flooring systems, materials selected because they hold up to UV, salt, and hard use, not because they look good in a catalog.
Fifty years of family expertise.
We've been in the marine industry long enough to have seen every material, every shortcut, and every failure mode. That history is behind every decision we make on your boat.
Services We Offer
Precision Craftsmanship for the Chesapeake
Your boat is built for the water, but the elements don't have to win. From custom canvas that extends your season to interior updates that bring comfort back to the cabin.
We provide full-service solutions tailored to the unique demands of life on the Bay. Every cut, stitch, and finish is done in-house with the goal of keeping you sailing in style.

"Brought in a boat that hadn't been properly detailed in years. Hull looked like chalk, stained vinyl, foggy eisenglass, they worked through all of it. The finish came back better than I expected."

"We had the cockpit cushions replaced stem to stern on our 28' Grady-White. They measured everything in place, matched the original profile exactly, and the stitching is still perfect three years in."
