Beetle in Wareham, MA is the official home of the Beetle Cat sailboat, which has been continuously produced out of wood for 100 years, making it the oldest one design in existence. They are dedicated to preserving the art of traditional Plank-On-Frame wood boat construction and offer a full range of services for Beetle Cat owners, including maintenance, repairs, and storage.
With a rich history dating back to 1921, the Beetle Cat sailboat was originally designed and built by the Beetle family of New Bedford, MA. Known for their expertise in building quality whaleboats, the Beetles applied their mass production techniques to create the small 12-foot gaff rigged wooden sailboat, which has since become a beloved classic. A visit to the Beetle Cat boat shop is like stepping back in time, where the pleasant smell of cedar and the display of historic photos and memorabilia create an immersive experience.
