About us

Classic Barnegat was started by Don Warren of Mayo, MD in the early 1990’s.  He has made hundreds of boats since then using the traditional design that’s been around for the past 150 years.   

In 2007, Don retired and Classic Barnegat was taken over by Kirk Sherbine, Dave Enos, and Dave Wright of Somerset, PA. 

In addition, there have been many new improvements since the new owners took over.  The boats are now US Coast Guard certified, flotation has been added per Coast Guard specs, and many new features have been added to the boats. 

Waterfowling in western Pennsylvania is a competitive sport.  The lack of birds means that there are only a few “great spots”, and hunters must scout relentlessly then get there early to claim their turf.  For years the Enos’ and Sherbines competed against each other.  One would get there at 5:00 to find the other one already setting up.  So the next morning they’d get there at 4:30, etc. etc.  Then one day several years ago a mutual friend stopped in after a hunt and introduced them.  They decided to hunt together the next day, and they’ve been hunting together ever since.  In addition to hunting together every weekend (and most week days),  they also make their annual pilgrimage to North Dakota, and have hunted in Manitoba, Maryland, and New Jersey as well.  During the off-season of 2005 they teamed up with Dave Wright to make a fiberglass duckboat fashioned after a Perrine Barnegat Bay Sneakbox.
