Of the three hundred and sixty-five islands that can be found in the waters of Mahone Bay on the South Shore of Nova Scotia it is on Gifford Island that you will find the boatyard of Clarence R. Heisler & Son Ltd.

This third generation, family-owned operation has earned a solid reputation for building quality, seaworthy craft. Hundreds of wooden boats including schooners, sloops, draggers, lobsterboats, motoryachts, ferryboats, dories, and punts have been built at the Heisler yard over the past 80 plus years.

Please contact the yard with any questions you may have or to discuss a project you are considering.
