About Us

Family-Owned. On the Water Since 1998.

We're boat people. Always have been. Jersey Cape Yachts started back in 1998 as a family operation with a simple idea: build boats the right way, under one roof, with our own hands.

Almost three decades later, that's still exactly what we do. We're a full-scale custom boatyard and yacht builder right here in New Jersey — and everything from design to final sea trial happens in-house, with our team, start to finish.

Some of our favorite projects are boats that other yards might walk away from. A tired hull with good bones. An older sportfish that deserves another life on the water.

We take those boats apart and put them back together — not with a fresh coat of paint and some new cushions, but with full structural, mechanical, and electrical overhauls.

New engines, modern electronics, custom interiors, rebuilt galleys, heads, living spaces — the whole nine. When we're done, these boats don't just run better than they did when they left the factory.

They run better than they ever have. These aren't touch-ups. These are complete rebuilds held to the same standards as our new construction. 

Whether you need a spring commission, a bottom job, a full repower, or something in between — we've got you covered.

Our yard handles mechanical and electrical work, fiberglass and structural repairs, custom carpentry, interior renovations, teak work, exterior finishes, paint and gelcoat, haul-outs, and long-term storage.

We keep all major trades in-house so nothing falls through the cracks.

Your boat, your timeline, our full attention. This place means a lot to us — and not just because of the boats.

Our marina is where the local fishing community comes together. We host tournaments, customer cookouts, and seasonal events throughout the year because that's what a good yard does — it brings people together around the water.

At the end of the day, we build boats and we take care of the people who own them. That's the job, and we love it. We know our customers by name. We know their boats. We know how they fish, where they cruise, and what matters to them on the water.

And we stand behind every single project long after it leaves the yard. Whether we're building a custom yacht from a blank sheet, breathing new life into a classic that's earned it, or just welcoming folks down to the marina on a Saturday morning — this is what we do. It's what we've always done. And we're not going anywhere. 

All Are Welcome
Everyone's welcome here — and we mean everyone. Whether you're a seasoned captain pulling in after a long run offshore or a young family just getting into boating for the first time, this is your place. Bring the kids, bring the cooler, bring the dog. We've always got four-legged crew members wandering the docks, and honestly, they might be the most popular ones around here. Jersey Cape was built around the idea that the waterfront belongs to everybody, and that's exactly the kind of yard we run. Come on down, say hello, and make yourself at home.
