Choosing the right boat for coastal cruising isn’t just about specs, horsepower, or what looks good on the dock, it’s about finding the boat that enhances your time on the water. And that’s something Cape Yachts has specialized in for over 40 years: matching the right boat to the right family, couple, or adventurer.

Whether you're looking to purchase a new or pre-owned yacht, inventory has been at an all-time low due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Between manufacturer construction delays and the high demand of buyers to have an escape from everyday life and large crowds, the desire to be on the water is at an all-time high, (understandably so!) Cape Yachts has an impressive inventory available to choose from of in-stock models and newly arrived brokerage listings available in time for your cruising season.

The Beneteau Oceanis 30.1 challenges the long-time idea that bigger is better. This sailboat is so incredible it was dubbed Performance Cruiser of the Year, which just happens to be the most competitive category of awards given to boats. We had the chance to show off the 30.1 at the Newport International Boat Show, and to be honest, the title of "best performance cruiser" fits her perfectly. So what makes the Beneteau Oceanis 30.1 so special?

Living aboard a beautifully outfitted yacht is a reality for some and a longstanding dream for many. Cruise the ocean and intercoastal waterways, fish when you choose, and fall asleep in a comfortable berth rocked gently by the waves.

Creating a life aboard a yacht, comfortable, safe, and ocean-ready, is easier than you may think. Many people find their ideal ocean-going home, sell their house, and begin life as full-time liveaboards. The boat becomes both their principal residence and a vacation home.

So, why not pursue the dream?

Have You Seen the Beneteau Swift Trawler 47?

This amazing yacht was introduced in Fort Lauderdale last fall and in a word, “she is breathtaking.” Everything Beneteau has learned for the last sixteen years with the Swift Trawler 42, then the Swift Trawlers 34, 30, 35, 44, 50, 52 and now the 47 shows just how much Beneteau does to make each yacht special and how much they have learned over sixteen years……Oh yeah, 135 years of building boats helps too! From innovative design to performance and economy, this is it. The ability to run at efficient trawler speeds with great range, with the ability to outrun bad weather at over 20 knots. These are special boats!
