Sargeant Brothers Model Boat Shop
13° 0.7′ N · 61° 14.2′ W · approximate
A waterfront workshop just past the vegetable market where craftsmen carve and rig exquisite scale models of schooners, whaleboats and visiting yachts with hand tools - Bequia's model boatbuilding tradition in action.
Practical
Position approximate (placed just past the vegetable market on Front Street per Yachting; OpenStreetMap also maps Mauvin's Model Boat Shop next door). Yachting magazine: commissions of your own yacht can take up to three months and cost upward of US$3,000. A 2022 cruiser saw models selling for US$400-1,000 and taking about six weeks. Bequia.net credits Bequia's model builders with the HMY Britannia model presented to the Queen in 1985. Hours vary - it is sometimes closed.
