Pulsifer Hampton:
Maine’s
Premier Wooden Boat

The first boat I built in 1973, called Walrus, is still in good shape. If they’re in salt water and reasonably well looked after, which means keeping them salted, they will last and last.

The design of the Pulsifer Hampton is based on the Casco Bay Hampton,
a lobster boat built by Charlie Gomes from 1902 through the 1950s.
Charlie Gomes’ Hamptons were work boats.

Designed first and foremost for function – to be used, to work hard, and to
endure – the same qualities I have vested in the Pulsifer Hamptons I build today.
