Team Eastport 32 are fishing "The Norm" on Saturday, it is all about bragging rights and as inaugural champions, we are looking forward to getting our title back!

Light Tackle fishing

2011-11-15T17:53:00.009-05:00

Eastport 32 owners Nick Shuck and Dave Wood joined Tom Weaver for a day of light tackle striper fishing around the remote Tangier and Smith Islands in the Chesapeake bay. Guide Kevin Josenhans took us to all the special spots when the tides were right for the group to catch and release upwards of 50 fish, keeping a couple for the supper table. A fantastic day with schooling Dolphins and diving pelicans.

Postcard from the Bahamas

2011-10-28T13:56:00.003-04:00

I brought Gandy Dancer back yesterday with Brad and my father. If you can believe the trip across the Bahamas Bank was about like our first three hours going over. We went from one squall to another. The boat was just great. We hammered thru the 3 to 4 at 25 kms per hour pretty nicely. The radar and auto were great. Once we got past West End it was a lake the rest of the way.

Tom, we love the boat. It was everything we wanted. It changed our Bahamas experience. We were out most days til past six pm having got started at the crack of noon. The boat sips fuel, handled like a dream, and turned heads wherever we traveled. We did not do a night out, but will. Brad had a great trip with his family and his kids loved the boat and the cabin (read dollhouse). We did not do any fishing - so we have something to look forward to in the future.

Sea Trials

2011-10-18T14:41:00.003-04:00

Wow what a wonderful boatshow, with some great weather the turn out was fantastic and we are now setting up for sea trials. Bear in mind the lead time for a boat is four months from Mold date and with orders in the works this can lead to a backlog of six months, so consider checking in with us soon for a boat in the North East for Spring delivery.

In this months SOUNDINGS magazine (May 2011 issue) in an interview with Donald Blount, the guru of high speed power boat design and engineering, named the Eastport 32 as a "fascinating boat" when posed the question about favorite designs by other designers, high praise indeed! Thank you Donald.

Living The Dream

2011-01-04T16:41:00.007-05:00

My job is to sell "The Dream", I design and build boats so you can get out on the water and explore, socialize, fish and generally relax. otherwise known as Living The Dream.

Now I take my job seriously, so much so that I am constantly researching because Living The Dream has no boundaries. I am toiling to making the experience for my clients better, be it re-visiting a waterfront bar (to sample the fare) or helping to catch a world record fish (I try every time I am on the water and I know it will happen one day). I still sail occasionally (just to get back to my roots), I creek cruise often with friends, I cruise with my wife, I regularly take an Eastport to boatshows (that is fun too), I personally maintain and update a worldwide network of marine industry professionals and boatyard managers (It takes a lot of beer but they are always there to assist an Eastport 32 owner) and mostly I just goof around on an Eastport 32 (all in the name of research!)

I am pretty sure I get on a boat about 300+ days a year, some times to tweak or service something and others just to sit and look around to see what we could do better but mostly to get out on the water and learn a little more. All in all Living The Dream is not easy and selling it is pretty tough too. So in 2011 I resolve to do all this even better and spread the word more! Yes that does mean more waterfront bars, bigger fish etc. So it is going the be a heck of a busy year Living The Dream Eastport Yacht Company Style, as we have boats in the USA, Europe and Australia. But someone has to do it! Come and see for yourself, I will be happy to show you around.....Tom

When many other boats are winterized and shrink wrapped the Eastport 32 comes into its own, today for a spectacular sunset fishing expedition where Mike Johnson and I ran out for 45 minutes and picked up about 15 fish on light tackle out in the Chesapeake Bay, we took this nice one to the Boatyard Bar and Grill in Eastport where the chef expertly prepared it for a few friends and accompanied with a nice Chardonnay.

More on the NEW Eastport 26

2010-08-16T10:49:00.004-04:00

We have been working hard on the final design details of the NEW Eastport 26, capturing the essence of the successful 32. We have managed to get the layout we were looking for and this little beauty will seat 8 comfortably, has a v-berth and enclosed head and powered by a single common rail turbo diesel engine will cruise very economically at 25kts with a super shallow draft, VERY cool. The first boat will be launched in late fall and with slots filling up fast we are now taking orders for late spring 2011 delivery. contact us for more details.

As we move into a new decade and celebrate the 4th year we have been building the Eastport 32, I have evaluated what it takes to build a successful company and a beautiful boat. It is not about profit and loss, It is not about dominating the market, It is not about bigger, faster, more expensive, It is about passion. Here at the Eastport Yacht Company we design, build and sell boats that we are very proud of, we engage with our clients and love the feedback to make their experience on the water better and we are privileged to make a living doing this.

The Eastport Yacht Company is an independent company, operated by the gang who love nothing more than simply messing around in boats. We have no debt, low overhead and fantastic owners. We are looking forward to the next decade with enthusiasm, meeting new friends and not least catching a lot of big fish. Happy New Year ....Tom
