Dave and Jane Nolan, own Cape Yachts with two locations in Dartmouth, Massachusetts, and Newport, Rhode Island as well as South Wharf Yacht Yard & Marina in Dartmouth, MA. Prior to being in the boating business, Dave was a CPA with Price Waterhouse. Thirty-five years ago in 1986, Dave fell in love with sailing and the waters of Nantucket. Wanting to run his own business, he decided to leave public accounting to found Cape Water Sports on Cape Cod. Soon after it became the largest Sunfish, Hobie Cat and Windsurfing shop in the Northeast. Three years later, Dave added Beneteau, Catalina, O’Day, Cal and Pearson to his stable of brands and changed the name of the business to Cape Yachts.
Growth, spurred on by the kind of expertise and service unique to Cape Yachts, continued through the 1990s making Cape Yachts the largest Beneteau dealership in North America with locations in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York. During that time, Cape Yachts also began winning the coveted Beneteau President’s Award for superior sales and service – something we have been doing for 18 consecutive years.
In 2006, Dave purchased the historic South Wharf Yard in Padanaram Village of South Dartmouth, Massachusetts, saving the yard from being shut down due to decades of environmental impact. This location, steeped in yachting history, was a key American shipyard during an important era in the marine industry. Founded by an Act of the Boston Congress in 1832, South Wharf has been the site of whale ship building by Mathew, Mashow & Co. as well as Ray Hunt’s drafting office where Ray designed the Concordia Yawl and worked on his famous Deep V hull, that revolutionized the marine industry. The village of Padanaram is also where Herman Melville did a good bit of research for his classic ‘Moby Dick.’
South Wharf Yacht Yard & Marina has since been upgraded and overhauled by Dave and now also serves as headquarters for Cape Yachts. The yard’s marina boasts 90 protected slips and 4 wharfs that can accommodate vessels up to 130 feet.

If it has anything to do with sailing, Mark has probably done it. He has 60-years worth of experience in ocean racing and cruising including Bermuda races, One Design races, Block Island race weeks, a trans-Atlantic cruise to Gibraltar, and countless deliveries of sail and powerboats in the northeast and mid-Atlantic.
Mark has always worked in the marine field. Right out of high school he found work in the mold room at Pearson Yachts laminating fiberglass hulls and taught sailing summers. Armed with a BA in Philosophy, Mark returned to manufacturing working for Tillotson-Pearson Yachts, Freedom Yachts and Legacy Powerboats, and finally Pearson Composites and True North and Alerion Express Yachts as a builder, customer service and quality control manager, and ultimately factory direct sales. Mark joined Cape Yachts in 2008.
Mark’s experience has made him a great listener, an excellent communicator, and a client advocate. His service and boatbuilding background gives him a unique understanding of how boats are put together. Mark is not looking for the quick sale, but rather the long-term relationships that have also helped him establish many friendships along the way.
Married for 40 years, Mark has two daughters and lives in Dartmouth, Massachusetts. If you think his passion for boating is confined to his working hours, guess again. He builds boats at home including canoes, kayaks, rowing shells, and standup paddleboards. If you are seeking an experienced yachting professional with energy, enthusiasm, and dedication to your boating needs, Mark is the one to call.
