Steel Diesel Ducks Building
We work with George Buehler
georgebuehler & dieselducks
and other yacht designers...

The appeal of the CUSTOM built boat instead of an "off the shelf" production boat is the huge choices it offers. You can, power, rig, and outfit
your ship anyway you want. You can have us build any interior you want.

Here is some examples of how we bid a Buehler Diesel Duck.
