Custom Boat Builder WooCommerce Theme
Build slot deposits, boat plans and shop merch for boat builders
A small shop that launches a handful of hulls a year has only a handful of build slots to sell, so a waiting list is only as solid as the deposits behind it. Foxco builds a custom boat builder WooCommerce theme where a buyer can claim a slot on a model with a deposit, choose options from power to hardware finish and follow their hull's progress in a private build log. Plans, kits and lofting patterns can sell to home builders anywhere in the world and hats, shirts and burgees give your fans something to buy between commissions. It's $999 installed and configured on WordPress you control.

Boat Builder theme questions
Is the theme built from a boatbuilding template?
No. We design it around your models, your build process and your buyers, then build a custom WooCommerce theme with your branding, photos and pages.
When can we start taking deposits?
The theme takes 7-10 days once your logo, photos and model details are ready. Rush work depends on our bandwidth at the time.
Can buyers see private updates on their own build?
Yes. Each build log can live on a password-protected page you update from the block editor. Customer accounts that show each owner only their own hull are a custom project.
Can I sell digital plans safely?
Downloadable products with limited download counts and expiring links are part of WooCommerce. Watermarking or license keys for plan sets can be added as a custom project.
Those deposits steady the cash flow during a long build. They also tell you which hull goes on the strongback next and they give a buyer something to celebrate while they wait for launch day.
Slots, options and a running total
Each model offers its build slots as products with a set deposit and a season or launch window. Buyers pick hull color, engine package, electronics and canvas from a list you control and the option totals carry into the order notes for your build sheet. Final pricing still comes from your contract.
Plans and kits for home builders
If you sell study plans, full plan sets, CNC-cut kits or epoxy packages, they become downloadable or shippable products with their own pages. Digital plans arrive by secure download right after checkout, which means a builder in another hemisphere can start lofting the same night.
Who's building the website
Foxco is a Phoenix microagency, which sounds like a long way from the water. The team still brings 100 years of combined experience and what more than 500 clients have taught us about selling work that has to be seen up close. You'll deal with the same few people from the first call to launch.
