Meet the
Sirens’ Crew
Sirens started in the West Island of Montreal, Quebec.
We had a small tempo beside a garage. It was myself, my father James, and long time family friend Ray Gerard. We completely rebuilt a 26 ft Chris Craft Triple Cockpit. We took it to an antique boat show in Montreal with the varnish still wet! We showed up late and missed the judging, but our first build drew so much attention at the show that we became completely immersed in pursuing the craft and perfecting our building and finishing skills.
Today, our 2400 sq. foot shop is located in the beautifully historic town of Merrickville, ON. We’re right off the Rideau Canal and we have equipment on-site to lift any size boat out and into our shop. We have the capability and experience to work with large cruisers as well. Andrew has brought together a choice crew of 5 members who all specialize in at least one aspect of the restoration process. You can trust us to deliver exceptional craftsmanship for your wooden boat restorations.
We are available for any questions, requests or estimates for all of your wooden boat needs.
