Rugged. Versatile. Fishing First.
NorthCoast Boats are hand-built fishing boats from Bristol, Rhode Island — the boat-building capital of New England. Family-owned since 1998, NorthCoast combines solid composite construction with a simple philosophy: “We build them. We use them. We fish.” Every hull is designed to fish hard, run dry, and last for generations — and now the full lineup is available right here in Maryland.
Built for New England Water. Perfect for the Bay.

Short, steep chop. Brackish water. Fast-changing weather. The conditions NorthCoast builds for on Narragansett Bay are the same ones Chesapeake anglers face every day.
- Deep-V ride — soft, dry, and stable in a short bay chop
- Hardtop pilothouse — chase spring trophy stripers and fish deep into December in heated comfort
- Yamaha powered — factory-rigged Yamaha outboards with Raymarine electronics
- Built to last — solid composite construction from the same shop that builds hulls for J-Boats
A NorthCoast hardtop turns a 6-month Chesapeake season into a 10-month one.
The NorthCoast Story
NorthCoast Boats has been family-owned and built in Bristol, Rhode Island since 1998. Owner Jose DaPonte’s boat-building roots go back to the early 1970s, and his shop, C&C Marine, is trusted to build hulls and decks for some of the most respected names in boating, including J-Boats. That pedigree shows in every NorthCoast: yacht-quality lamination, mahogany-trimmed interiors, and hulls engineered to take real water.

NorthCoast Boats in Maryland & the Chesapeake
Maryland Boat Sales is an authorized NorthCoast Boats dealer serving Maryland, the Chesapeake Bay, and the Mid-Atlantic — including Baltimore, Annapolis, Kent Island, and the Eastern Shore. Here’s a quick guide to the lineup.
NorthCoast Hardtop Pilothouse Boats
The 235HT, 255HT, 285HT, and 315HT are deep-V hardtop pilothouse fishing boats built for four-season use. Heated cabins, v-berths, and walkaround decks make them ideal for spring trophy striped bass, late-fall chasing, and everything between — the boat that stretches a Chesapeake season from March to December.
NorthCoast Center Consoles
The 190CC and 230CC are rugged, simple deep-V center consoles. Trailerable, Yamaha-powered, and fish-first in layout, they’re a hand-built New England alternative to production center consoles — with a ride that takes bay chop in stride.
The 415HT Flagship
NorthCoast’s award-winning 41-foot flagship pairs a full pilothouse with quad Yamaha power in Sportfish and Cruise configurations — canyon-capable range with genuine liveaboard comfort.
