Custom Made Wooden Yachts International Shipyard
Abdullah bin Muda's family has been building ships by hand for generations. Now Mr. Abdullah is an old-timer, but he gets around, balancing on the planks that surround the dry-docked hulls of his latest masterpieces. He makes fishing boats in Western and Asian styles, as well as luxury yachts -- all handmade, all from wood. Although Mr. Abdullah doesn't speak any English, he'll let you explore the boats on your own and even tell you how much money he's getting for them. You'll weep when you hear how inexpensive his fine work is. Ask your hotel's concierge to call before you plan to head out, to make sure they're open and that Mr. Abdullah is in.
