Some big and small resorts use Duroboats for the fun and safety of their guests. Local and state governments have integrated Duroboat into their rental and recreation programs. The US military rec. programs at several bases have chosen Duroboat. As a light working skiff Duroboat is trusted by folks who make a living on or near the water.

Duroboats illustrate the small boat traditions of North America's great north woods. Rugged boats for great fishing experience in the Northern Wilderness. Sometimes it takes a little effort to get the boats where they gotta go.
California's Contra Costa County currently operates these 29 Duroboats on the Los Vasqueros reservoir. The reservoir does not allow gas motors or painted boats. So, these Duroboats were left unpainted and modified to accept electric outboards. The boats include extra provisions for batteries and electric wires.
One of our favorite work boats pics was this shot from the Hiram Chittendon Locks in Seattle. At the locks there is a fish ladder. Here, one of the workers and her Duroboat are doing what they do to make sure the Salmon make it through to Lake Washington and the rivers and streams east of Seattle. If you like boats, fish and trees the Seattle locks are a must see attraction. In addition to the locks and fish ladder the park includes an outstanding arboretum with interesting trees and plants.

Two Tough boats.
From the rough and tough to the gentile. This group of boats was headed to Lakedale resort. A very classy little resort built on a string of small lakes in the center of San Juan Island. Take a tour to Washington State's San Juan Archipelago. After a ferry ride to the city of Friday Harbor it is a short drive to Lakedale Resort. There you can enjoy some real tranquility and maybe row one of these Duroboats for yourself.
The 12S Duroboats along the dock ( we count 15) are ready to rent. Our records can't tell us where this is. Anyone?
