Handpicked Hulls, Selected For You
Who Are We?
We are the crew behind East Coast Cruiser, and this newsletter was born out of a shared obsession: we simply love boats. A small team of long time nautical enthusiasts.
We love the lines of a Down East cruiser cutting through chop, the utility of a center console rigged for a dawn bite, and the romance of a sailboat ready for the islands. But more importantly, we know how hard it is to find the good ones.
We’ve spent years in the nautical world, refreshing forums, crawling through bilges, and tracking market trends. We know the difference between “character” and a money pit, and we know that the best boats often sell before they ever hit the major websites.
What We Do
East Coast Cruiser is a curated listing service for the recreational marine market. We scour the “Hidden Web” of the Atlantic seaboard to find the most capable, character-rich, and fairly priced vessels for our subscribers.
Finding a quality boat is currently a broken process. You are either walled off by broker-dominated sites like YachtWorld, or drowning in the noise of Facebook Marketplace.
We bridge that gap. We spend hours every week combing through the communities where the real enthusiasts hang out—places like The Hull Truth, Downeast Boat Forum, and specialized owner associations—to find the “owner-direct” gems that the brokers miss.
Curated Listings & Newsletter
Our service is particularly useful for those who want to stop the endless scroll.
We act as your high-signal filter. We don’t just paste specifications; we look for the history and “vibe” that suggests a knowledgeable owner. Whether you are looking for a weekend runabout or a liveaboard trawler, we might guide you to a hull you had never considered but is perfect for your local waters.
Subscribe now to gain access to the full details of the vessels shown on our website and receive our newsletter showcasing our latest discoveries.
