Golden Era Boats

Golden Era Boats was a Connecticut-based boatbuilder that operated from the 1970s through the mid-1980s, specializing in fiberglass reproductions of classic designs. Based inside the state of Connecticut, Golden Era Boats produced fiberglass vessels for the first time in the 1970s and manufactured a combination of sailing vessels, powerboats, and rowboats before ceasing production. Golden Era Boats carved out a niche by bringing classic yacht designs into the modern fiberglass era. Their approach allowed sailors to enjoy the timeless aesthetics and proven seaworthiness of legendary designs like those from Nathanael Herreshoff, but with the durability and lower maintenance requirements of fiberglass construction.
