Boat Builder and Adventurer

Chris Bowman found adventure as a child when his father read Treasure Island to him. This ignited a lifelong passion in travel, adventure and exploration.

A highlight of Chris’s boatbuilding career was the 63-foot locally sourced schooner christened Water Pearl he built for Bob Dylan in Bequia, an island in the Grenadines.

Chris moved to Fremantle in 1988 and still works in boatbuilding, and he was engaged on construction of the Endeavour replica.
