Dan Nelson

Client Relationship Manager. Chief Researcher. Woodsmith.

Nelson Boatworks is, for the most part, synonymous with Dan Nelson, a master woodworker with over three decades of experience. Dan cut his teeth on large scale commercial building projects—as cabinetmaker and project manager, working under tight budgets and timelines. At Nelson Boatworks, Dan takes pride in getting to know the history of each boat before the first piece of wood is cut. Thorough research and documentation, unparalleled craftsmanship and rigging, and flawless performance are the hallmarks of a Nelson Boatworks restoration.
