The Jeff Burton 46′ Jarrett Bay Project presented by Marlin Magazine:
I recently spent the whole day at Jarrett Bay to check up on the progress of the boat and found that the fellows already had the kitchen area and staterooms mocked up in the hull. It was pretty cool to see it all together in 3-D after only seeing it on paper. In the real world, you come across all the angles involved, and we just had to fine-tune things a little bit. But it was still pretty close to the paper – we got the fuel and water capacities just where we wanted them.
I’ve never been through the boatbuilding process before, but the boat seems to be coming along right on schedule. Maybe even a little ahead of schedule. The boys at Jarrett Bay are used to building great, big boats, and this one is coming together pretty quickly.

Day 2 of the Isla Mujeres Island Time fishing tournament, we took 2nd place overall, 46 fish released in two days. Day 2, the winds kicked up to 35 knots in the afternoon, good news, we were were only 7 miles off heading home in a following sea. We fished till the end with the fleet, took several waves into the cockpit, the boat performed very well, great fishing platform. Jarrett Bay should be very proud!
Thanks

I will let you be the judge, if your boats fish 2 weeks straight in these conditions, then I think they can pass the test.
Watch the video from 1/29, especially you Mr. Gary Davis, this was pretty sporty, we filled the cockpit several times!! Nice rig….. We had 34 fish in two days, Keith caught 35 on Tuesday.
I love this stuff!!!

My eye immediately focused on the exterior North Carolina big bow flare. The exterior lines of the Jarrett Bay speak custom, all the way! There’s no mistaking a true custom Sportfisher from a production vessel. Once aboard, in the cockpit, one realizes how expansive the workspace truly is – especially when the action has four plus-anglers all hooked up at once. After my initial purchase, the addition of a mezzanine was for comfort on those hot long days. The salon air door opens up to a full salon, galley, and staircase of book-matched cherry cabinetry – who could resist! The interior amenity package is all custom carrying the cherry wood theme throughout.
Decoy (AKA Hog Wild & Adaro) is a fun sportfisher and a tournament winner with the primary use on billfish. The vessel has a long record on the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans from North Carolina to the Caribbean and San Diego to Panama. Cabo San Lucas, Mexico was home base for two years fishing mainly for stripe marlin and then in Los Suefzos, Costa Rica, for two years fishing both directions of Guatemala and Panama.

Keith Greenberg ran his first full day trip on my 53 today in Isla Muj, Mexico, as of 3pm, talked to him on the sat phone, he caught 25 and saw approx 60 sails, as he lost count, the sails were piling on the dredge two or three at a time. Keith mentioned to my friend John that it is the best boat he has ever run in different sea conditions, his trip across got a bit dicey on the Mexico side and he fished the Gold Cup in Fla a week ago. Keith is one of the best from our parts and well respected by many.

When Walt Kuhn, a three-time Jarrett Bay custom sportfish owner, first decided to venture into the world of custom sportfishing yachts, he knew exactly what he was looking for. “I’ve always liked the lines of a custom Carolina boat,” says Walt. “They look sleek and sexy out on the water.” It was this love of the Carolina style that led Walt to Jarrett Bay. He was familiar with our reputation for building boats with a superior ride – a necessary requirement for him. His mid-Atlantic canyon pursuits often take him 70 miles offshore in challenging sea conditions. “I wanted a sea boat that had good entry and didn’t beat me up,” says Walt.

We fished Saturday and did very well in the Wilmington, 4 for 5 on white marlin, some very big fish, nice sulfur line and 1 degree break. My 11 year old son caught two. First time I had the boat in a hard head sea. Ran straight into a SE 3-4 ft head sea tightly packed for 65 miles. Backed the boat down at one point to 25 knots, but did 27 most of the time without pounding or slapping the hull. Everyone was sleeping with no issues, the boat is very impressive in a head sea. Just pushed the nose down with full tabs. Very dry also, only took spray on the front curtain a couple of times. Many turned back that day or backed down to 19 knots. Came home at 35-37 knots, very nice ride home.
This is why I bought a Jarrett Bay. Very nice and enjoyable day, and the custom liquor cabinet worked very well too!!

Last week, Jim Sherman, the experienced and very capable electronics technician from Mt. Pleasant Radio, was replacing our ethernet hub in the Marilyn B’s NavNet System. Unsolicited, he gave you (Jarrett Bay) this compliment, “They really did a great job with this wiring!” It’s nice to hear those deserving get this recognition! Keep it up!
We also continue to get a lot of compliments on the Marilyn B’s appearance and performance. Many thanks for your help and congratulations on the results.

With the C-18 she weighs 28,000 lbs. with 400 gallons of fuel on board. She cruises 26ish at 1950 [rpm]. She really is a sweetheart. I’m proud to own her. Hope all is well and business is prosperous.

When you tell somebody you’ve got a Jarrett Bay, people that know it, know you’ve got one heck of a machine. It’s well built; it’s put-together; it’s probably as good a boat as a man could ever want. It’s the ultimate dream of every man who fishes.
