Eric Goetz founded Goetz Custom Boats in 1975 and has since set the standard for building state of the art composite boats. What makes a Goetz boat different from any other is the unerring attention to detail – whether in construction techniques or the quality of craftsmanship that is unsurpassed in the industry. Through every phase of every project, Goetz’ “no-stone-unturned” philosophy is coupled with leading edge technology to produce the lightest, fastest, most durable yachts possible – impeccably finished to suit the purpose.

Involvement at the most competitive levels has required that Goetz constantly be on the leading edge of boat building technology, and always seek new ways to build faster, stronger boats. Considerable effort is put into research and development; through ongoing experimentation and association with marine and aerospace engineering, Goetz has consistently improved its abilities to meet the most demanding design criteria.

Our pre-preg technology allows us to build the lightest, fastest, most durable yachts possible. Time and again, Goetz boats have proven themselves in the most competitive arenas, having emerged victorious in the America’s Cup, Admiral’s Cup, and Maxi Worlds. Goetz boats have also competed successfully in the TP52 circuit, the Whitbread/Volvo race, Transpac, Kenwood Cup, Southern Cross Series, Sardinia Cup, and countless other regattas around the world.

Through our experience of over 30 years in business, GCB has learned to make efficient use of the time of our technicians and craftsmen, who have an average of over ten years’ tenure with the company. As a result, our boats are often built in less time than other builders require.

From a client’s perspective, Goetz’s capacity and collaborations make it the ideal choice for building. An in-house engineering team provides a full time naval architect and draftsmen with AutoCAD, AutoSHIP, Rhino with Flamingo rendering, and AlphaCAM with V-Carve Pro CNC software, all to enhance seamless communications with the designer and engineering firms of the client’s choice. We provide owner representatives/project managers with their own offices, with telephone, fax, and wireless internet, giving them immediate access to their projects and suppliers as well as our build team.

In addition, a custom metal fabrication shop is adjacent, with all safety equipment, mechanical, electronics, hydraulic, electrical, graphics and canvas vendors local to the Goetz shop. Hall Spars, Southern Spars, Harken, Lewmar, Reckmann, and Navtec are all also locally represented.
