Redefining Mahogany Runabouts

SERVICES

WHAT WE DO

At Baltic Runabout, we create timeless mahogany powerboats that seamlessly blend classic aesthetics with modern innovation.

Our vessels are cold-molded using premium materials such as mahogany, fiberglass, foam core, epoxy, and carbon fiber, resulting in lightweight, durable, low-maintenance boats comparable in maintenance complexity to conventional gel-coat fiberglass models.

Collaborating with some of the world’s finest naval architects and designers, we create custom-built boats tailored to your unique vision. Every boat is handcrafted in-house by our team of highly skilled craftsmen, ensuring exceptional attention to detail in everything from woodwork and finishing to metal and upholstery.

In addition to building bespoke runabouts, we offer comprehensive restoration and maintenance services for wood and composite vessels up to 100 feet in length. For new orders, we may accept trade-ins on your current boat.

To keep your runabout in pristine condition, we provide specialized off-season maintenance and storage packages, handled by the very experts who built it.

At Baltic Runabout, we turn your dream of owning a classic, personalized powerboat into a reality, delivering elegance and performance in every detail.

BR 28 - our own design - utilises a unique technology that combines mahogany with carbon fibre and foam core using vacuum infusion, thus making the whole hull a single solid monocoque structure, that is ultra-light weight, yet incredibly stiff, strong and durable, comparing to both, conventional plank on frame boats as well as modern GRP's. Thanks to our technology, the hull requires very little maintenance. The design features an extended waterline and a plumb bow, which offers more speed and stability, the sharp bow angle slices waves ensuring a smooth ride. The long waterline effectively enlarges the cabin, allowing for a comfortable double v-berth and an enclosed head under the deck.

The BR 28 can be equipped with either a single or twin 300 hp petrol engines and jet propulsion.

Some of the possible amenities include:

large settee, with a removable table top and a cushion insert to make a large bed
galley with two burners, sink and refrigerator in the cockpit.
sound and lighting system integrated in the cockpit and settee
custom made trailer
bilge fan and fire safety system with sprinklers in the engine room
Optional cabrio top
Optional aft sunbathing cushion recessed in the deck
Optional bow thruster for single engine setup

In the summer of 2018 this 75sqm Skerry Cruiser named "Katja" sailed from Sweden to our facility in Latvia, where we worked on her for 11 months. She got a large portion of her backbone replaced including new oak bow-wood and keel-wood, as well as a number of new pine planks, below the waterline. All of her paint on the bottom and topsides was scraped off and completely redone. Her 19 meter douglas fir mast was sanded back to bare wood and sheathed with thin fibreglass and epoxy. She also got a new transom, and stainless steel floors. In the pictures she is headed back to Vaxholm, Sweden in 2019.

ABOUT US

14' Runabout / hydroplane - we built this little boat in 2016, to be used in ponds and lakes. It's an ultra-light two-seater that is about as much fun to drive as a jet-ski, but with the stunning looks of a classic mahogany runabout.

CG Pettersson saloon boat or Salongsbåt in Swedish - One of our current ongoing projects is this beautiful motor cruiser we are assuming to be built around the 1910-1920s. She has had a long life and had been rebuilt beyond recognition in the 50's with a different cabin and many other changes that probably seemed more "contemporary" at the time. Right now we are giving her back the original house and everything else that was missing.
She has so far got a new solid mahogany deck, new keel and stem, new transon, new house and top as well as a number of the bottom planks replaced among many other things.
She still has her original 100 year old topside planks.
We also replaced the old rusted iron frames and floors with stainless ones.
