Customer Testimonials

“Two years ago I was in the market to by (and upgrade) my third Cape Horn. While browsing the internet, saw a 24FT Cape Horn that caught my eye.  I immediately called Frank (owner of North Florida Offshore Boats).  I asked Frank a ton of questions, as I live in Puerto Rico and I did not want to waste my time  and money to fly to Florida if the boat did not meet my expectations. Frank answered all my questions, and sent the additional pictures I requested. After a week of e-mails and phone calls, I was off to Florida to test drive and possibly buy. Frank was more than accommodating, realizing I was traveling from Puerto Rico; he offered I stay with him while we worked out the details. Keep in mind we are complete strangers, and had never met I respectfully declined his offer to stay, as my father lived about three hours away and I rented a car to commute. One would be foolish not to test drive a boat prior to buying, especially when I live in Puerto Rico and the boat is in Florida. However, the condition of this boat was show-room condition. With less than 150 hours on each engine, and receipts to back up every additional add on, this boat was Turn-Key ready. Frank even suggested I call Cape Horn Boats, and set input/feedback from the manufacture. I did not hesitate to call Cape Horn (they all knew Frank). Their exact words were you would be foolish not to buy a boat from Frank. Well after spending the day with Frank I elected not to test-drive the boat. We finalized the deal at his bank; and agreed Frank would deliver the boat to the port of Jacksonville the next day. The following day I met Frank in Jacksonville, and the rest is history so to speak. Over the past two and half years, I have logged over 800 hours and have not had a single problem. Everything from electronics, navigation, windless, stereo, is top of the line products. When I'm ready to upgrade to my 4th Cape Horn, I’ll buy from North Florida Offshore Boats.”

“When looking to move up out of my Cape Horn 21 I contacted NFOSB about the Cape Horn 24OS they had for sale. I was only looking as I still had a boat I needed to sell. I was able to work an easy and smooth transaction where I essentially traded in my boat towards purchasing the 24. I searched across the country for clean newer used boat and even considered new.  NFOSB had the boat, outfitted the way I wanted, and cleaner than I have ever seen any boat in my life. Not to mention the great price and the wealth of knowledge they had about the boat, boating, and even tips for fishing! I would highly recommend anyone contacting NFOSB for their next boat. Thanks!”

“Frank was very honest and helpful.  It’s nice to be able to deal with someone who not only sells a boat but uses them as well. We are very happy with our 2013 Cape Horn 24 os and would recommend anyone looking for an honest straight forward deal to give Frank a call.”

“I just purchased 2010 Key West from Frank and couldn't be happier. Frank had an offer of a higher amount after he worked out a deal with me. He actually lost money he could have made otherwise because he kept his word to me. He is very fair and went above and beyond to make the deal happen for me.  Honest and with integrity. First class all the way!! Thank you Frank!”

"Well, let me tell you about Frank! One word Family. That's how he makes you feel. He invited us into his home and made us feel like we were welcome. Frank is honest, trustworthy and dependable. We could not have been more pleased when we contacted him about his 2013 31XS CH. He was extremely knowledgeable about the boat and the boat was absolutely as close to show-room perfect as could be. 'Frank is meticulous about the boats he has for sale. Frank offered to take us for a test drive to confirm the CH was the boat for us. We loved the boat from the moment we pulled up. The CH is a boat that will catch the eye of any discriminating angler or family boater. The lines on the Cape Horn are TIMELESS. This boat looks fast sitting still! Thanks to Frank we have found our boat and we are truly satisfied! Frank’s hospitality and above and beyond attitude is contagious - Sit back and enjoy the fishin stories ) which leads me to the other side of Frank.. Frank is a "true fisherman" not just any fisherman. He has owned and fished a lot of high dollar boats. When he tells me that a CH boat is as capable or more than the high dollar boats,  I truly believe him because he has owned and fished out of them. When he says a CH will go to the middle grounds, I believe him. I would 100% buy another boat from Frank if the need ever presented itself. Thanks Frank .)
