2019 Cape Horn 31T

Step aboard and you’ll notice how dry and confident this 31T feels, even when the chop stands up. The wide beam and aggressive bow flare keep spray down, while the level deck and high gunnels let crew move safely when everyone’s hooked up. There’s a surprising amount of insulated storage forward, so you can choose between a massive fish hold or a family-friendly cooler spread. The helm seating and forward console lounge make long runs comfortable, and the shade coverage is generous without feeling cramped. It’s the kind of layout that works just as well for a dawn sword trip as it does for a sandbar afternoon with kids and coolers.

This 31T shines in local waters where conditions can swing from glassy to stacked-up in a single tide change. The hull is built to run efficiently on long offshore pushes, yet it still drafts shallow enough to tuck into quieter inshore spots when the weather turns. With its open bow, deep cockpit, and plenty of storage, it’s ideal for chasing pelagics outside the inlet and then swapping gear for a relaxed cruise back inside. The combination of offshore range, predictable handling, and simple washdown at day’s end matches the way boaters here actually use their boats week in and week out.
