Itchydog Boatworks, formerly McGreivey’s Canoe Shop is committed to continuing the quality of restoration work that Jack McGreivey started in 1976.

Andy and I were friends with Jack and worked with him at different periods of time at the canoe shop. When Jack passed away in 2015, we teamed up to finish the canoes and guideboats that remained in his shop. Three years later we moved that shop to Fair Haven and renamed it Itchydog Boatworks.

Since then we have restored canoes from various builders as well as carvel and lapstrake built traditional wooden small craft. We also build three canoes that were offered at Jack's shop. The 17’ McGreivey Racine and the 15’ McGreivey Detroit plus an original design by Jack Luczyk (the first to work with McGreivey) called the Oneida Girl.

At Itchydog Boatworks we pay attention to the details and strive to make our restorations as historically accurate as possible using traditional methods.
