Preserving North Idaho’s boating heritage through thoughtful maintenance and restoration.
Joe Lovell grew up with an easy love for boats and the water, the kind that comes from a lifetime spent on the shores of Coeur d’Alene. What began as weekend tinkering on family boats turned into a deep respect for how vessels are built, how they age, and how much they mean to the people who own them.
Over the years, Joe honed his skills in maintenance, repair, and the meticulous art of wooden‑boat restoration—pairing hands‑on experience with a genuine appreciation for the region’s boating heritage. Today, he brings that same passion to Coeur d’Alene Boat Works, treating every project as a chance to preserve the craft, the stories, and the lake lifestyle he’s always loved.
