Ideal for the Great Loop, she features twin diesel engines, safe side decks, and excellent visibility.

My daughter and I have explored the Northeast annually, often anchoring at Block Island. With her comfortable accommodations, generator, AC, and spacious galley, she’s perfect for leisurely yet efficient cruising. Her systems are meticulously maintained and have performed excellently.” According to the Power Boat Guide, the Cape Dory 36 Flybridge is economical and visually appealing, combining classic aesthetics with spirited performance that resonates with boating enthusiasts. She rides on a modified-V hull with a solid fiberglass foundation and a protective keel.
