Order Your Nantucket Skiff Now for Spring 2010 Delivery!

Despite the challenging economy, Roth Boat Builders had its best year yet in 2009, completely selling out our inventory of Nantucket Skiffs. Thank you and congratulations to all those who purchased one of these "little gems," to quote a satisfied owner. This year's production will be limited to ten boats and, since we sold more than half that many in the last five months of 2009, now is the time to order your Nantucket Skiff for spring 2010 delivery in your choice of color and options.

The Nantucket Skiff is a traditionally styled yet modern boat offering both elegant looks and exceptional performance. Construction is of the highest quality, using a complete composite stiffening system. The unique bottom design of her fiberglass hull provides a smooth ride under all conditions. A family can enjoy the better part of a day from six gallons of fuel. Swift enough to pull a tube or skier and miserly enough to troll all day long, the Nantucket Skiff is able to fit the entire family’s needs. With a rare blend of modern engineering and old world craftsmanship, her appointments of teak, bronze and stainless steel clearly set the Nantucket Skiff apart from the rest.

The new model features increased storage, standard forward seating and a self-bailing deck.

Built by Roth Boat Builders with over thirty years of experience building finely crafted small boats, the Nantucket Skiff is both an investment in quality and economy. A family can enjoy the better part of a day from six gallons of fuel. Swift enough to pull a tube or skier and miserly enough to troll all day long, the Nantucket Skiff is able to fit the entire family’s needs.

Standard features include a self-bailing cockpit, bilge pump, fuel tank with gauge, battery switch, teak trim with Cetol finish, wooden steering wheel, custom bronze running lights and cleats, foot wells, non skid surfaces, storage under the seats, and towing rings on the bow and stern.

“For over thirty years I have been building and using small boats and I truly believe what we have is the finest ‘Little Skiff’ on the market today. Quite simply, a better boat for those who know the difference.”

Chris Roth

From the beginning, the Roth name has been associated with well-built, traditionally styled small boats. Over thirty years ago the lineage began with a robust 15 foot center console skiff and several dory-style tenders. After ten years a larger 18 foot model evolved as well as a 21 footer.

More recently, Chris Roth spent time repairing and restoring select craft but his desire to build returned and Roth Boat Builders is now pleased to present the first in a line of simple yet elegant craft that will please the eye and wow the expert with their performance.

With the extreme changes in fuel costs, Roth Boat Builders proudly offers you the most economical, fuel-efficient concepts of boat designs on the market today.

Come share our quest for perfection. Let Chris Roth build a boat for you!
