From canoes to skiffs
to East Cape.
Founded in 2004 as the Everglades Canoe Company. Still under the same ownership. Same shop. Over 1,700 boats built one at a time.
A boat should be built around the way you fish.
For over 20 years, East Cape Boats has built personalized fishing boats for anglers who expect more from their time on the water. From technical poling skiffs to larger inshore and nearshore platforms, every East Cape is shaped by real fishing experience, advanced composite construction, and a simple belief: a boat should be built around the way you fish.
That same idea has guided East Cape since the beginning. Founded in 2004 as the Everglades Canoe Company, we grew from canoes, to skiffs, to some of the most trusted fishing boats on the water today.
East Cape remains the oldest skiff company under original ownership. The same vision, care, and accountability that started the company still guide every build that leaves our shop.
A great fishing boat should feel right from the first run. It should be quiet when you pole, dry when the weather changes, stable when the shot matters, and dependable when the day runs long. That is why every East Cape is built with purpose, detail, and real-world use in mind. Layout, power, electronics, storage, deck finish, fishing style, and home waters all influence the final craft.
As a result, no two East Cape boats are exactly the same. Each one is personalized for the owner, the fishery, and the way it will be used.
Vacuum infusion since day one.
East Cape has been known for vacuum infusion since the beginning. This process helps create stronger, lighter, and more consistent boats while giving us better control over the final product.
Over the years, East Cape has continued to refine hull design, spray rails, deck layouts, storage, rigging, and performance across the lineup. Our boats are trusted by guides, families, hardcore anglers, and owners who need their boat to do more than look good at the dock.
"New or used, we just want you in an East Cape. We are a family."
More than a boat builder.
East Cape Boats has always been about more than selling a hull. We build relationships with the people who run our boats, fish our boats, service our boats, and pass their stories on through them.
Whether you are buying new, refreshing an older East Cape, or looking for your next fishing platform, our goal is simple. We want to help keep you on the water in a craft you trust.
Welcome to the East Cape family.
