When we think of home-grown Canadian products, maple syrup comes to mind for most people. But in Newfoundland, a trusted marine builder named Coastal-Vokey Boats is changing the way seafarers think of boats.
The Newfoundland-based family run business has been building commercial fishing, sport fishing, cruising and water sports boats for over 30 years.
Represented by Coastal Distribution, a wholesaler of boat lines and select marine products, Coastal-Vokey Boats boats are designed for rough water outings, and are unsinkable within maximum capacities. All of their models are designed and built with safety, reliability and comfort in mind. In addition, Coastal-Vokey boats carry National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) certification, ensuring they comply with all federal construction standards governing Canada and the USA.
Based in King’s Point, Newfoundland, Coastal Adventures has been expanding their Coastal-Vokey series and winning over recreational and commercial boaters on the East Coast.
These watercraft are custom-built to face up to rough sea and openwater conditions. Each deep-hull boat is manufactured in 100% fiberglass, unsinkable, and trusted to provide a smooth, dry ride at high speeds, even in choppy conditions.
The line includes open boats, dual consoles, center consoles, and a walk-around cuddy, offering something for everyone from first-time boat-owners to experienced offshore fisherman looking for a dependable work vessel. Sizes range from the 182WT at 18’3” to their 209WA, with a length of 21’6”, with an 8-person capacity.
Hull colour choices include white, grey, black and blue. Retail prices range from approximately CA$29K for the 182WT model, to CA$47K for their 209WA, the perfect choice for overnight trips.
No wonder the Coastal-Vokey line is quickly gaining popularity.
In partnership with Coastal Distribution, Coastal Adventures is now expanding their reach into Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec, and the US.
