replace the aging boat used as a local charter boat.  In an old tin shed, the Sensation took shape like many before her -- ones built on tradition by legendary names such as Tillet, O'Neal, Rose, Guthrie and Davis.  

Since those modest beginnings, JBBW has expanded its facilities twice, due to increased demand for our product.  In December 2006, 126 employees will celebrate our landmark 20th Anniversary at the 175 acre Jarrett Bay Marine Industrial Park, directly situated on the Intracoastal Waterway in Beaufort, North Carolina.

In an effort to accommodate the avid fisherman on both the water, and the homefront, Jarrett Bay opened a retail store on Front Street, Beaufort, NC.  THE BOATHOUSE stocks a wide variety of unique nautical gifts and accessories.  THE BOATHOUSE also stocks a wide inventory of Jarrett Bay gear and apparel.  The store also offers prints of original art, exclusively contracted for THE BOATHOUSE.  Also featured is a wide variety of custom furniture, umbrellas, and unique home accessories. 

THE BOATHOUSE is a full extension of the boatyard to traveling boaters.  The store acts to promote the boating history of Carteret County, and profiles a number of projects completed by Jarrett Bay.  THE BOATHOUSE also serves as an official reporting station for the BIG ROCK Blue Marlin Tournament.  Make sure to come and visit the Boathouse on your next visit to the Crystal Coast.
