Snark Sailboats:  Super Light, Super Fun!  

More people have learned to sail on Snark boats than any other boat.
Easy to sail, very portable, durable, and affordable!

This is the page for ordering a boat.  See add-to-cart links in left column below.

Boat is shipped to your door.  Shipping is put out to bid after you order.  Expect $400 - $1000.  You can cancel if bids are too high.  Or you can drive to the factory (near Toledo, OH) and pick up yourself after ordering and paying.

Be patient.  The process will take weeks at least.

Replacement Sails        Parts

Limited Availability (updated July 26, 2023):   Snarks are not yet back in production, but they have some factory seconds on hand at the factory that they are slowly going through to pick out the ones that are good enough to sell.  The price is $1950 for a Sunflower or $1550 for a Super Snark, shipping not included.  Only order if you will be patient and kind to us as we do our best to pry these boats loose at the factory, arrange shipping and get them out to customers.  You will be charged only a refundable $100 deposit at this time when you click "Buy Now" below.   The minor defect(s) that make your boat a second will be described to you before shipment and you will have the option to decline.  The defects are cosmetic and minor.  We've had no complaints about them.

New production is going to resume someday, but nobody knows when -- as in what year.  The factory continues to take baby steps in that direction, buying parts and materials and getting production machinery ready.

 We have many other portable sailboats available for your consideration.  Please click here.

“Snarks are so simple and fun to sail, but teach us worlds about working boat and wind together.  I will admit, however, my favorite thing about the Snark is that I can decide to go for a sail on a lake 10 minutes from my door, and 15 minutes later I'm on the water.  It is not a big event to go- so I go often.” John B. (Nov. 2010)
