Welcome to Tattoo Yachts, our new boatbuilding company in Stuart, Florida. We offer fun, safe, affordable trailerable sailboats.

The Tattoo 26 will start rolling out the door in May, and the Tattoo 22 will go into production in the autumn. Our extensive dealer network will be receiving their new boats as we ramp up production in the next few months.

We are Paul Sharp and Laura MacGregor Sharp. Our family has been building boats under the MacGregor brand for over 50 years. Our parents, Roger and Mary Lou MacGregor, have decided to retire from production boat building. We are continuing the tradition of providing great trailerable sailboats, but with our own modern touches.

Because we want to make an indelible impression!

Tattoo Yachts is a nod to our British and Scottish heritage.  The word ‘tattoo’ comes from the closing-time cry in the inns in the Low Countries during the 17th and 18th centuries – ‘Doe den tap toe’ (‘Turn off the taps’).  It evolved into a tradition of evening music (like Taps in the U.S.).
