East Cape Vantage VHP

At Drumspot Fishing Charters, we run the 19″ East Cape Vantage VHP with a Mercury Pro XS 175 — a high-performance flats boat built for the Louisiana marsh. It’s the perfect blend of speed, stability, and shallow-water access, designed to handle everything from glass-calm ponds to breezy open bays.

The VHP’s shallow draft lets us slip quietly into skinny water where redfish tail and drum cruise, while its deep-V hull and solid build give us a smooth, dry ride across rougher water when we move between spots. Powered by a high-output outboard, it’s fast, efficient, and built to get you where the fish are — without sacrificing comfort.

Clean, stable, and purpose-built for serious inshore fishing, this boat is all about performance where it counts — in the marsh, on the bite, and under your feet.
