Darling’s Boatworks has built a strong reputation for high-quality restorations, preservations, and repairs on both wooden and fiberglass boats.
As a family-owned business for over 40 years, we take great pride in the work we do. That reputation has been earned by the dedication and craftsmanship of our employees.
Our team is at the heart of everything we do. Maintaining the level of service we’re known for depends on hiring and supporting skilled, passionate individuals. That’s why we offer competitive—and more importantly, livable—wages that reflect our employees’ talents and experience. Our benefits include vacation time, paid holidays, a Simple IRA plan with company match, and quarterly profit-sharing bonuses.
We operate out of two shops in the scenic town of Charlotte, Vermont—just 30 minutes from Burlington, Middlebury, and Richmond, and a quick ferry ride to Essex, New York. With direct access to Lake Champlain, the area offers outstanding sailing and a variety of other on-the-water activities.
Off the water, there’s no shortage of adventure: mountain biking, hiking, kiteboarding, skiing, rock climbing, and more are all within an hour’s drive. For those who prefer a slower pace, the region is home to countless breweries, restaurants, museums, and historic sites—perfect for family outings or leisurely weekends.
It’s a place rich in both natural beauty and history, and we look forward to sharing it with you.
