About seaworthy small ships
Welcome to Seaworthy Small Ships—a world of imagination and creativity through building wooden toy boats from our carefully constructed model kits.
Whether you dream of sailing the high seas or simply enjoying the satisfaction of building a beautiful wooden boat, Seaworthy Small Ships is here to make your dreams a reality. Explore our diverse range of wooden toy boat model kits and discover the joy of creating something beautiful with your own two hands and really sailing it in pools, ponds, or puddles! Each model kit we produce is sourced from the finest materials and hand-made and compiled to ensure you have as much fun building your model boat as you do sailing it.
We believe in fostering creativity, learning, and a sense of accomplishment. Building one of our wooden boat model kits is an educational journey, allowing builders to gain valuable insights into craftsmanship, engineering, and history. It's a hands-on experience that encourages problem-solving, patience, and an appreciation for the art of boatbuilding.
who is Seaworthy small ships?
In 1994, Seaworthy Small Ships set sail with the simple goal of giving kids and adults the opportunity to build a small vessel and put it on the water. 29 years later, new owner Alice Sampson has taken over the captain’s helm.
All kit parts are sourced in the USA. Boat kits are made individually, by hand, in the ThinkerTinker workshop located in Lakewood, Colorado.

Currently, Alice also owns Thinker Tinker Workshop, a program teaching children woodworking and craftsmanship, encouraging them to follow their own creativity and guiding them in the skills necessary to make those dreams come true.
