Dear Bath Boats… |
| Dana, not sure how many boats we have ordered over the years - has to be over 15. Everyone loves getting them - and they last forever...which is great. |
No, thank YOU, Dana! Fantastic! We sure appreciate the unique and quality craftsmanship. We received a boat from you and our dear friend Emma for our son, Andrew Henry (you may recall...AHAB and the white whale were great features on the boat), and immediately knew that this was the perfect gift for Otto. Thanks, again. Dana, The Grasshopper boat was a huge success as are all your boats — although the postal service here in San Francisco has never been the same since you left. We intend to keep getting boats until we have a slightly larger fleet then the original Spanish Thank you once again for all your efforts, we really enjoy seeing the smile on the faces of the people we give the boats to, they are a very personal and unique gift to commemorate significant dates in a family's history. Craig

Dear Dana, Thank you so much for getting the boat done is such short notice. You did such a wonderful job! I have been so excited about it. Yesterday was my Dad's 60th birthday & he LOVED the boat. It was the biggest hit of the celebration. Here is a picture of Dad with the boat. We will be sending more orders your way shortly. Thank you again, Shiloh Kahnke |

And then I opened the box....ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!!!! I couldn't have asked for anything better...You are a Master at your craft. I am your biggest fan (but I promise not to stalk you ala Kathy Bates), but you do have my undying devotion to your sheer genius (yes, there it is, I said it) at craftsmanship and design. Everything on the boat is just so fun and so perfect for this show — great job...and it looks like you had fun putting it together....I love it. I can't wait for him to see it. This is the best opening night gift ever. Dana, you're the greatest....and this is the World's Greatest Bath Boat. I will try to get a digital photo of Mike in costume on stage with the Boat and send it to you. The show is in previews, saw it the other night and went very well — it truly is a silly parody and spoof of Agatha Christie mysteries and characters. Silly is good. Line load holding up well. Can't wait for Opening Night. Okay, I'll stop gushing...but thank you again...this is the best. And so are you. Your devoted fan,

Dear Dana, The three boats, for our children William, Andrew, and Therese, just arrived in today's mail. They are beautiful! I am so pleased, and I am so excited to give them to them. I'm thinking they will be St. Nicholas Day gifts, because I can't wait for Christmas! I am also thinking that even though our two older kids are no longer "babies," perhaps I should order boats for them as well -- for a complete family fleet of five! :) They seem like such great heirlooms. Thanks for your wonderful service and beautiful boats! You will definitely be receiving future orders from me! Elizabeth Leone

Pictured is my 12 year old son Tony with his bath boat collection. We have been buying the boats since 1995 and now have a total of 17 bath boats. Tony is holding 2 older ones from 1986 and 1989...that we adopted (rescued) off e-bay. I have also had a few "specialty" ones made (waterskiing, fishing, band-music) for my son and also some personalized baby ones to give as gifts as these are THE GREATEST! Kathy Newman, South Dakota |

I was born and raised in Minneapolis, but have been living in Canada since I married my husband, André, in 2003. Helen prides herself on supporting not only artists, but local artists, so it was no surprise to me that when I to looked up your website, I found you are from Minnesota. (Great move putting your website address ON the boats).
Hello Dana,
Dana — Here are the long overdue photos of our kids with their bath boats. Simon & Max loved their personalized boats for their birthdays. They are very proud, as you can tell. 
Paige, who is now 6, got her boat as a toddler when we visited the Renaissance Festival.|
Thanks for the beautiful bath boat for Hazel. Looks great! As you can see, the girls are very pleased with them. Thanks. Perrie, Arden Hills, Minnesota |
Dana —“We just received one of your darling boats as a baby gift for our son Devin. We were absolutely delighted with it and plan to send one as a baby gift too. They are creative and unique and we wanted to share our thoughts with you. Congratulations on a successful business and much luck and smooth sailing in the future.”

Dear Dana, Our Jake is growing so quickly and so is his boat collection. It is hard to believe we purchased our first boat in 1995 in anticipation of Jake's birth and now, eight boats later, we are ordering a boat in celebration of jake's eighth birthday. ...Thank you for creating such a wonderful keepsake. Every boat is beautiful and totally unique. they will be treasured forever. Wishing you and your family smooth sailing... Love, Nan, Craig & Jake Jaeger |
"The boat for Sam was fantastic. We usually have the boats sent directly to the recipient, but this time the Mister wanted to make the delivery himself. This allowed us to see the boat for ourselves and, as anticipated, it was just what we wanted. Sam, and especially his new Dad and Mom, were all thrilled with the boat. Thanks for your continued excellent craftsmanship. We'll be back for more!"
Happy New Year to you and yours,
Kris Accardo Chicago, Illinois
