Coconut Boats

Coconut boats are small, handmade boats crafted from coconut shells or coconut tree materials. They serve various purposes, from children’s toys and decorative crafts to practical uses in fishing and transportation. Some communities use shoveled coconut tree trunks to make small canoes for fishing in shallow waters. The shell or trunk is carved and smoothed into a boat shape. Coconut boats are an eco-friendly alternative to plastic toys and mass-produced items. They reflect the productivity of communities that utilize every part of the coconut tree.
