2024 East Capes VANTAGE

*THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION MAY NOT REPRESENT THE SPECS OF THE UNIT DISPLAYED* The 2024 East Cape Vantage skiff stands as a testament to precision engineering and angler-focused design, seamlessly blending the shallow-water stealth of a traditional skiff with the robust, open-water capabilities of a larger bay boat. At approximately 19 feet 2 inches in length with a beam of 79 inches (6 feet 7 inches), this vessel offers an impressive balance of maneuverability and stability. Its 12-degree deadrise hull, constructed with a full vacuum infusion process and high-tech laminates, ensures remarkable strength and durability while maintaining an incredibly lightweight profile.


Designed for the serious angler, the Vantage boasts an impressive draft of 7-9 inches, allowing access to the skinniest of waters where other boats dare not tread. This shallow draft, combined with its balanced and easily pollable platform, makes it an exceptional tool for stalking redfish, bonefish, and other elusive species. Despite its flats-fishing prowess, the Vantage truly distinguishes itself with its ability to comfortably handle choppy conditions, offering a surprisingly dry and smooth ride even in less-than-ideal weather. This versatility makes it ideal for exploring diverse fisheries, from tranquil backcountry flats to nearshore coastal waters.


The 2024 Vantage is typically powered by outboards ranging from 90 HP to 115 HP, with options up to 175 HP for the VHP (Vantage High Performance) model, offering exhilarating speeds in the high 40s to low 60s, depending on the engine and load. Hydraulic steering and a jack plate with blinker switch control provide precise handling and immediate response.


Storage is a key consideration for any fishing vessel, and the Vantage excels in this regard. It features ample, intelligently designed storage compartments, including six under-gunnel rod tubes capable of accommodating fly rods up to 9.5 feet, as well as front and rear hatches with massive storage capacity. Lockable compartments keep gear secure and dry, while a clean, uncluttered deck layout maximizes casting and maneuvering space.


Angler comfort is also prioritized, with custom upgraded cushion packages, a removable poling platform with backrest and welded rod holders, and a removable turnbuckle-style lean bar. Standard features include a 28-gallon built-in fuel cell, an insulated crustacean/livewell that drains outside the boat, LED navigation lights, and a robust electrical package with a battery switch and auto on/off bilge. Customization options abound, allowing owners to tailor their Vantage with features like trolling motors, advanced sonar and navigation systems (e.g., Simrad NSS16, Lowrance HDS units with Active Target), underwater LEDs, and custom AWL Grip finishes.

The 2024 East Cape Vantage is more than just a skiff; it's a meticulously crafted fishing machine built for discerning anglers and professional guides who demand uncompromising performance, versatility, and durability in a single, garage-friendly package.
