A boating enthusiast himself, Ken Cope founded Cope Marine in 1965.  His goal was to offer a great boat at a great price while providing exceptional customer service.

Today, Cope Marine remains a family-owned, family operated business.  Ken, Sheila and their son, Shane, along with a dedicated staff of over 30 employees continue to carry on the Cope family tradition.
