Farley Boats

Visitors who have stayed in one of Port Aransas vacation rentals may be familiar with the Farley Boats as flower covered landscape design pieces, but their history goes far deeper than thematic flowerbeds. The rich fisheries surrounding the island of Port Aransas have long been a magnet for families, sportsmen, and even United States presidents. Born out of innovation and a desire to serve the island’s fishing industry, Farley Boats quickly became a pillar of island life. Today, these handmade boats are being lifted by the rising tide of craftsmen, enthusiasts, and historians.
