Boat Restoration
IN STUART, FLORIDA
Complete Rebuilds, Repairs & Refinement
Boat restoration is more than making something look good
it’s about correcting structure, improving function, upgrading systems, and bringing the finish back to a standard that feels “new” again. Highground Boatworks restores boats with a clear goal: deliver a final product you didn’t think was possible- built right, finished right, and ready to perform.
Whether you need to repair damage, reverse years of wear, modernize the layout, or rebuild major components, we provide complete restoration capabilities in one place—so your project stays controlled, consistent, and accountable.

Our Restoration Process
Inspect & Plan
We evaluate structure, systems, and finish, then define scope and priorities.
Correct the Foundation
Structural and fiberglass work first: stringers, decks, supports, molds/fabrication as needed.
Build & Integrate
Tanks, custom components, carpentry, hardtops/hatches, and functional upgrades.
Finish Like a Yacht
Fairing, prime, paint, clear, brightwork, interior varnish, dialed and consistent.
Deliver with Confidence
Final QC with the same mindset we’d expect if it were our boat.
Haul-Out, Blocking & Transport Support
We’re a full-service boatyard with the ability to haul, launch, lift, and block, plus support transport logistics so your restoration stays simple.
Pickup & drop-off available, with support for projects up to 38″- 40″ max tow.
