Mike Mullen is an easy going North Carolina native with a keen sense
of design. He has a strong working knowledge of just about every kind
of marine vessel there is – from ferryboat maintenance and renovations
to working on aircraft carriers, he has done it all. His experience as a commercial fisherman and shipfitter naturally prepared him for a career
in boatbuilding. Mike definitely has his sea legs and a resume to prove
it. He even formulated his own line of epoxy resins for the fishing and marine industries, working closely with chemists at Ciba-Geigy Laboratories in Brewster, New York.

Every aspect of the boat building process here at Laurel Point is directly
supervised by Mike. His team is made up of hard-working craftsmen that
share his pursuit of perfection. This is no high speed assembly line but a
labor of love with strict attention to detail. Scott McLaughlin, owner of
Laurel Point Boatworks, states “Mike Mullen is as solid as the boats we build.” We think you will appreciate the difference personal accountability makes.
