Cape Cruiser Boats are manufactured in Kent, Washington by veteran boat builders
Gene Sterner and Ben Toland. They are located at 25028 Pacific Hwy South where the
Toland family for decades built commercial fishing boats, Marben Trawlers and later
C-Dory Boats. Ben Toland was responsible for much of the design and tooling of the
various models. He started his own company and for a short time produced his own small
cabin boat called the "Toland 18'8" which are still coveted today.
Gene Sterner learned his boat building skills from his mentor, Roy Toland
for many years. He decided to join forces with Ben Toland to produce the next
generation of a higher quality traditional cabin boat with classic lines.
The result is the Cape Cruiser 23' Venture and 26' Marinaut.
These boats are designed and built to be economical, easy to maintain,
very seaworthy and easily trailered. The attention to detail, fit and
finish, are unmatched in this type of boat. Cape Cruisers are practical
boats that you can enjoy year round with little maintenance and have a superior
ride quality that similar boats can't match.
This modern classic, sweeping sheer line, lap strake topsides and clean,
fair lines will never go out of style. A pocket cruiser that blends the
traditional with the new, thoughtfully proportioned, well appointed, and expertly crafted.
Wherever you look you will find exacting attention to every detail.
