In the early 1990s, Dennis Smith and Glenn Overton both worked in the sales department of a North Carolina boat dealership. The two decided to team up and start a dealership of their own--one that would deal exclusively in yacht sales. Their undertaking, Cape Fear Yacht Sales, was opened in March 1996.

With locations in Wilmington, NC, Myrtle Beach, SC, as well as in Charleston, S.C., Cape Fear Yacht Sales is one of the most successful yacht dealerships in the Carolinas. "When we opened, it was just Glenn and myself for that first year," says Smith. "Now, we have a staff of 30-plus people. Our sales have grown from $11 million to last year's $14 million."

The Cruisers Yachts line is Cape Fear Yacht Sales' top product category. They build from 28 feet up to 54 feet. "A few years ago, they built a new manufacturing facility on the Cape Fear River, so they're built right here in Wilmington." Cape Fear Yacht Sales also sells Carver Yachts, Marquis Yachts, Four Winns boats, and Century boats.

Cape Fear Yacht Sales' personalized service doesn't end with our sales team, which consists of four salespeople in Wilmington and one in Charleston. In addition to ten people on our service staff, we have two mobile service vehicles that drive all over North and South Carolina to service our product. Personal attention and personal service define our approach. A strong focus on customer service is key to building relationships with customers.

To emphasize this commitment, Cape Fear Yacht Sales hosts numerous customer appreciation events, called Owner Rendezvous, each year. We lead trips to beautiful and exciting places such as Ocracoke Island, Beaufort, NC, Bald Head Island, New Bern, and even Charleston, SC.

When you buy a boat from Cape Fear Yacht Sales, you become part of a growing, happy family!! We will focus on your needs and hold your hand every step of the way.
