About Custom Carolina Boats

Skilled boat builders in the Carolinas created the Custom Carolina style — a distinct boat design that evolved to master the challenging Atlantic waters. Each hull features a shallower draft, sharp entry, and deep-V that transitions smoothly into a modified-V or flatter hull, striking a balance between efficiency and stability.

Traditionally built using the cold-molded or plank-on-frame construction methods, these boats are celebrated for their lightweight design, agility, and impressive speed.

Distinctive Design Features

Three hallmark traits define Custom Carolina boats and contribute to their renowned seaworthiness:

• Deep-V Design: Effortlessly slices through waves, delivering a smooth, dry ride even in rough seas.
• Generous Bow Flare: Keeps the topsides dry and enhances lift in challenging conditions.
• Wide, Stable Beam: Offers balance, cockpit space, and comfort for anglers and passengers alike.

The rich sportfishing history of North Carolina traces back to its commercial roots, with Carolina builders of the 1950s paving the way for the modern Custom Carolina designs admired today.

Buying a Pre-Owned Custom Carolina

Each used Custom Carolina boat carries its own personality — often handcrafted with unique lines, layouts, and finishes that reflect the builder’s artistry.
