Got some down time?
In honor of Hurricane Debby, which just kept us indoors for 4 days, we are continuing our series on the best YouTube channels, this time with a dive into the best YouTube channels for boatbuilding.
If you haven’t already perused our blog and specifically the posts on the building of our 2024 demo boat, you should probably start there (here).
After that’s done, we humbly offer some channels to check out. These YouTube boatbuilding channels cover repairs, new builds, customization, and more. Whether you’re looking for a new boat, inspiration for a current project, or just killing time, these will get you there.
This list isn’t all-inclusive, comprehensive, or maybe even our favorites, but it will help you kill hours of time when you are inevitably supposed to be doing something more, quote, “Productive.” Enjoy.
We love this series. Each episode has some boat repair, building, or maintenance in it. They then highlight someone who has already built their dreamboat. It is full of knowledge and inspiration for your own dreamboat build. Also, there are multiple seasons, so plenty of new episodes to watch.
So, I don’t think this guy is technically a boat builder, but he is a heck of a woodworker and very entertaining to watch. Follow along as he builds a driftboat. It left us thinking that maybe we needed a driftboat, despite living hundreds of miles from a floatable river.

If you want to understand the process of building a modern production boat, we haven’t found a better series. They walk step-by-step through all the parts in a logical way. Production quality is great and it is entertaining to watch.

We wouldn’t be doing ourselves justice if we didn’t mention that we have a YouTube channel. We’re constantly adding to it, so check us out frequently.
