24' Inboard Launch (2021) - EAST PASSAGE

We are excited to introduce you to the East Passage 24. Drawing on the deep roots of the fishing and pleasure vessels that have called the New England coast home for over a hundred years, the EP24 will provide you with an unparalleled on-the-water experience in both comfort and style.

The EP24 was designed with equal emphasis on classic aesthetics and sea kindliness by noted shipwright Walt Ansel, who brought three decades of working experience at Mystic Seaport Museum and a lifetime of experience on the water to the drafting table for this timeless Down East style launch.

Drawn with flexibility in mind, three different seating locations for passengers and a wide-open cockpit makes her perfect for taking a sunset cruise around the harbor with friends or anchoring in your favorite cove for a family swim on a hot summer day. Multiple options for fit and finish will allow each owner to customize the boat to their individual tastes. Additionally, the hull can be configured for different steering locations, space for a marine head, or even a cuddy cabin; whatever suits your needs.

Powered by a Yanmar 150HP turbo diesel, the EP24 will comfortably cruise at 15kts while topping out at 24kts and the traditional lobster boat proportions will deliver a sweet and stable ride. With an 8’ beam, 2’6” draft and displacement of 5,000lbs, the EP24 is also perfectly suited for trailering.

Classically inspired and traditionally built, the EP24 represents a new generation in a long line of heritage boats that are both functional and beautiful. For more information or to set up a shop tour to see Hull #1 being built, please email us at carter@epbws.com.
