About Global Shipwrights

Global Shipwrights is the culminating Custom Crafted Teak Work shop of Captain Rich Goodale. We take pride in not only the quality of our craftsmanship but also of the materials used in our products. We use only genuine Burmese Teak, FEQ (Finest European Quality). We can use our years of experience to help you design the perfect custom Teak (or other wood)  table, grate, step, bar, or any type of accessory to meet your needs and style.

Captain Rich had operated Goodale Marine out of the Florida Keys for over 10 years before his shop was destroyed by Irma, forcing his relocation. He had been previously invited to the Philippines by a fellow Floridian, and took the opportunity to investigate the potential of opening a shop there. A few months later, that shop is a reality. We now boast a over 11,000 sq ft facility with state of the art equipment and technology. And being in the Philippines, Captain Rich has had the ability to teach his craft to skilled woodworkers without the costs being prohibitive, allowing us to continue to offer gorgeous products in timely fashion at competitive prices.

Captain Rich was joined in this endeavor by his sister, Jennifer Goodale Galea, who had recently sold her franchise kickboxing studio, and has a long history of small business management. As they say, timing is everything, and we feel that the stars truly aligned for our successful launch of this continuing venture!
