Quick answers to what buyers ask first.
What kind of boats does East Cape build?
East Cape builds personalized inshore and nearshore saltwater fishing boats from 17 to 25 feet — the 17 EVO V, 17 EVO X, 17 EVO V Lite, 17 EVO X Lite, 18 EVO V, 18 EVO X, 19 Vantage, 19 VHP, 21 EVO, 25 Open, and 25 Hybrid. Every boat is built one-at-a-time to the buyer's specifications.
Which East Cape is best for shallow water?
For the skinniest water, the 17 EVO X, 17 EVO X Lite, and 18 EVO X use a near-flat tunnel hull that floats and runs in 3 to 8 inches — the choice for technical poling and pure flats fishing.
Which East Cape handles rougher water?
The 21 EVO delivers nearshore confidence with shallow-water DNA. The 25 Open and 25 Hybrid handle bigger water with offshore capability while still floating shallow enough to fish inshore.
How much does an East Cape cost?
Prices start at $27,000 for the 17 EVO X Lite and range to $189,000 MSRP for a fully built 25 Hybrid. The 17 EVO V starts at $53,000, Vantage and VHP at $58,000, 21 EVO at $117,500, and 25 Open at $140,000 for the BMT package.
Can I customize engine, electronics, and color?
Yes. Every East Cape is built to order — Suzuki, Mercury, or Yamaha outboards; Garmin, Simrad, or Lowrance electronics; custom AwlGrip colors; console layouts, seating, lighting, trolling motor, and Power-Pole options.
How do I start a build?
Use the online builder: model, fishing style, region, power, electronics, options, timeline. The team reviews every request personally and follows up within one business day.
Does East Cape sell pre-owned boats?
Yes. East Cape maintains a pre-owned inventory of boats that come back through the shop. New or used, the goal is getting you into an East Cape.
Where are East Cape boats built?
Every East Cape is built at 110 Pineda Street, Longwood, Florida. Visit the shop and see your boat in production — call ahead to schedule.
