“I’m curious about the boat”
Meet AWOOGA herself — who she is, every part that gives her a face, and the salty family she comes from.

Welcome aboard.
Where to first?
AWOOGA is a hand-built 14′3″ mini tugboat with a hull the size of a bathtub and a foghorn voice the size of a freighter. This site is the whole harbor she lives in — her story, her three-year build, and a daft little tug-world you can actually poke at. There’s a lot here, so pick the door that sounds the most like you and we’ll cast off from there.

No wrong turns — every door eventually connects to the rest. Start wherever your curiosity points.

“I want the full build story”
Three years of sawdust, photo by photo — the wins, the do-overs, every receipt, and what a build like hers might run you.
3
“I want to play and interact”
The genuinely silly part. Step into her little tug-world, leave your mark on the hull, ride along on real voyages, or grab some gear.
If you only have five minutes

When in doubt, follow the sawdust
Honestly, you can’t go wrong — but if you’d like one of us to just point: start with the Build, then sound her horn on the way out. The rest of the harbor will still be here when you get back.
