The Skipjack design studio utilizes many shipboard items that are removed from retired ships in foreign and domestic shipyards as well as natural materials, such as locally found driftwood, in addition to boards and vintage fishermen's materials to produce one-of-a-kind coastal living pieces. Artwork and handmade gifts are mostly the work of local craftsmen, such as the Salt Water Bath Co. soaps made in Hampton, Virginia and the Monkey’s Fist Rope Knot furniture knobs (an interior decorator’s favorite) produced here in Olde Towne. The nautical lampshades are constructed in the Skipjack Design Center using only the highest quality materials, including authentic NOAA nautical charts featuring locations from the Chesapeake Bay region.
Over the past ten years, the Elders have grown their store from a local, specialty boutique into an international business. They attribute their success to being resilient, flexible, and persistent. Initially, Skipjack was located in an area that did not meet the needs of the business. In 2005, the Elder’s changed course and moved to Portsmouth. In 2008, a fire destroyed their store and their residence. The business realigned and made headway to its current location on the Portsmouth waterfront.

A dedicated web presence (online store, blogs, social media, information sources) has supported the brick-and-mortar operation. Joe advises that a constant web presence and marketing are essential components for running a retail business. Allison’s advice for new entrepreneurs is to remember to have patience and be flexible to market trends. It takes time to establish a customer base, and as markets change, businesses should be prepared to make adjustments to stay the course.
