What Cape Horn Boats does

Cape Horn Boats, Inc. is a family-owned and operated manufacturer of composite offshore fishing boats based in Milton, Florida, founded in 1989 and operated under the related corporate entity Fabbro Marine Group, Inc. The company designs and builds a unified lineup of fishing vessels spanning 23' to 39'6", organized into three model families — Offshore (OS), Tournament (T), and Extra Seating/Storage (XS) — plus the 23 Cape Bay hybrid bay/offshore boat. Core engineering centers on rigid composite construction with a Divinicell core, unsinkable hull design, wood-free construction, proprietary Even Keel and Stealth Mode hull features, and optional Electronic Power Steering (EPS) on newer models. Maximum horsepower ranges from 150 HP on the 23 Cape Bay up to 1,600 HP on the 39XS, with fuel capacities up to 560 gallons enabling 100-mile offshore runs.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer go-to-market: customers request quotes online or visit the Milton showroom by appointment, with a Build A Boat configurator enabling custom option packages such as GAMBLER electronics and audio systems. Hardware sales are the sole revenue stream, augmented by a separate Shopify storefront (Cape Gear) selling accessories and apparel. Primary customer segments are tournament anglers and hybrid bay/offshore fishermen, with secondary segments in family/recreational users and law enforcement/patrol buyers. Pricing is quote-based for most models, with the disclosed MSRP floor of $44,630 for the base 23 Cape Bay with Yamaha F150. The company is privately held, employs 11-50 people, has no disclosed funding rounds, partnerships, or acquisitions, and currently operates only in the U.S. Southeast market.
