Background
Big Ocean Marine is led by myself, Ryan Schaap. I began working on wood boats at a young age with my father. Throughout the years I became an experienced woodworker with a portfolio of many successful projects. For over a decade I have worked as both a craftsman and a construction project manager. I am an Eagle Scout and have a bachelor’s degree in construction from Michigan State University.
Whether you have a small repair or an extensive project I look forward to speaking with you about how best to achieve your goals.
