Much of our new construction focus this past month has been on completing hull 56, the 77′ Blank Check by the first week of May. Huge strides have been made daily for most of April, highlighted by numerous milestones such as the tower installation, window glazing, floating her to mark the waterline, and painting the transom.

Jan, After hitting a rock in the “rock pile” last week, I went to Jarrett Bay for service at the very strong urging of Marc Thomas. We arrived at 1030 and went directly into the slings which were ready and waiting for us. By 1730 we were back in the water and good to go.” Jeff, Joel and Josh were innovative in restoring our struts and exhibited a sense of urgency and level of customer commitment that I have never seen in the boating industry. Most yards don’t even know how far they are from even acceptable much less the exceptional performance of Jarrett Bay Service.

Jarrett Bay Boatworks is excited to announce details of our new 32’ Custom Center Console project quietly started in June 2012 for one of golfing’s most notable and respected icons – and now-3x Jarrett Bay owner, Curtis Strange. Almost as avid an angler as golfer, Curtis Strange has embarked on his latest Jarrett Bay build to best suit his desire to fish both North Carolina’s sometimes challenging offshore waters as well as its oft-shallow inshore sounds.
Differing from Jarrett Bay’s semi-production 34’ walk-around model, this 32’ custom layout is an open concept with both forward bow and console bench seating. The custom console bench features two Release Marine helm chairs, flush mounted rod holders and a 37-gallon live well aft of the chairs. Like her larger sisterships, the Jarrett Bay 32’ Custom provides added features like a transom fish box, and ample storage spaces in the console itself, as well as the helm chair bench.

We recently completed a neat side-project, creating a custom transom-shaped sign for a shop in New England. It is solid teak with varnish and marine grade bottom paint and boot stripe – exactly like any component you’d find on one of our boats. It also features some of our new in-house custom vinyl & decal capabilities.
Hey Zach – got the sign in the mail yesterday – just wanted to say you guys nailed it!! Really great job I think it came out perfectly – thanks for your patience while figuring out the details during the build process, really appreciate it. Thanks!”

Good morning Keith,
I cannot say enough about your professionalism and courtesies that Toni and myself have enjoyed while repairing the LARK!!!!
Thank you for trying the plug to prove the boats performance. It also rested any issues concerning load that might be causing the overheating.
I need to mention that your mechanic Josh is very impressive and Steve Blackwell actually ran in the pouring rain to accommodate our needs!

The month of December brings cool weather to Eastern NC along with the excitement that surrounds the Holiday Season. For us here at Jarrett Bay, it is also a time to reflect on the year that has passed and think about goals for the year to come. A time to spend time with our family, friends, members of our Jarrett Bay family and give thanks for all we have been blessed with not only in the past year but in our lives.
As we embark on our 27th year at Jarrett Bay, we have a lot to be thankful for.

Following up on last fall’s hull work, the 61′ Sea Striker (Jarrett Bay’s 23rd hull) is back for the winter, after a great summer and fall season of fishing.
During her stay over the next couple of months, the covering boards will be stripped, a new base layer of okume plywood will be added and then finished with all new teak. In addition, the cockpit floor/sub-floor will be cut out and replaced, also getting new teak decking. With the sub-floor out for a short amount of time, it’s also a perfect opportunity to replace any necessary hosing or wiring to ensure peak performance down the road.
