46′ Jichi
- Custom Hull #
- 61
- Splash Date
- May 2016
Demonstrating yet again what “truly custom” boat building is all about, custom hull 61 features some outright bold design choices, including the dark paint and black tower hardware. The result is an aggressively beautiful tactical vehicle that attacks offshore fishing’s status quo.

Cockpit
The cockpit is arranged with a central mezzanine seat that doubles as a large ice maker and cooler, with two freezers accessible in the steps below. Two huge in-deck fish boxes straddle the Release fighting chair and transom livewell with tuna tubes. No space is wasted throughout, with the mezzanine steps and seating hosting multiple flush-face tackle drawers and dry storage.
Bridge
The primary helm features pilot and co-pilot chairs with an artfully designed electronics suite with the latest from Cat, Garmin, FLIR, iCom and Fusion. To starboard is convertible bench seating concealing rod storage, while additional seating, dry storage and an in-deck engine room hatch occupy the space to port forward of the helm.
Flybridge Helm
Accessed by teak-covered steps on both sides of the tower, the upper helm area is defined by another teak sole contrasting the dark metallic painted surfaces. Featuring a single pilot chair behind a full pop-up electronics display, the bridge boasts an aft-facing seat as well as larger bench seating and storage forward of the helm.
Interior Layout
The clean and modern design flows below as the sliding companionway door reveals another striking mix of metallic and wood veneered surfaces. A compact, but capable galley occupies the starboard side which includes a wash basin, microwave convection oven, over/under refrigerator/freezer and recessed storage. A two person v-berth wraps around the forward cabin underneath a central overhead hatch. To port is an extensive tackle storage station, a combination rod and wet hanging locker, and a well-appointed head finished in Stardust Silver throughout.
Engine Room
Powered by twin Caterpillar C18 engines with ACERT technology, the boat is every bit as fast as she looks, and economic to boot. Booking along at 40 knots while using around 47 gph, hull 61 tops out at 45 knots with a fuel burn of just 59 gph. The boat’s mechanical systems also include a 21.5 kW Cat generator, a generous water maker capacity and a Seakeeper gyro stabilizer.
Highlights
Topped off with a custom satellite and radar dome and her all-black fittings and rigging, this boat’s dark demeanor is lit in an impressive spectrum of color at night thanks to an extensive Lumishore LED lighting installation throughout the hardtop, gunwales and transom. Another innovative Jarrett Bay calling card from her larger sisterships made its way onto the 46′ – the Jarrett Bay signature bucket chairs integrated into the forward cabin house.
Please keep me posted on the 46 express this design is real close
to wtat I want for my next boat.
Dear Sir,
I am interested to know if I can discuss with you to possibly build a JB 43WA with outboard power.
I currently own a Gamefisherman 39′ Express with triple outboards built in Stuart by Gamefisherman. I would like to get a larger boat similar to my GF but WA and not Express. Something similar to your 46WA grander but 43′ with Quad outboards, and minimum 550gallon fuel, Head and standup shower, 2 to 3 bunks and a diesel generator. I live in kuwait so Genset should be 50Hz,
Look forward to your reply,
Thank you
M.Karam

Interested in price
We’ll be in touch via email with more information!
Well done
Seems like a lot of wasted wood… well I’m not sure of sales numbers. Why not use a mold of hull, then hull liner, bond before adding deck
With the exception of our 34 line, every Jarrett Bay boat is a truly custom, one-of-a-kind built for a specific owner, cold-molded by hand and true to our Carolina heritage. We believe wholeheartedly that our composite wood/epoxy process produces a stronger, lighter hull that performs better, and has better harmonics than any fiberglass production process. You can learn more about our philosophy and process here: https://www.jarrettbay.com/why-jarrett-bay/built-on-tradition/
really intrested in the price please let me know its an amazing boat
Nice boat!! Is there a 43′ version?!
Hi Jay, All of our boats are one-of-a-kind custom builds. Yes, we have built several express fishermen in the 41-44 range over the years, and you can browse them on our “fleet” page (link below). Thanks for your interest in Jarrett Bay and please let us know if you have any other questions!

Coincidentally, there are 2 43-footers currently on the market: http://www.bluewateryachtsales.com/inventory/jarrett-bay-yachts-for-sale/
Hi,
Me and my father are scouting for a nice boat with walkaround. Whats the price on this one?
Thanks for your interest, you should receive more information from a representative via email.
JB hit another home run with this baby. I would expect that as shown, you’re looking at about 2.3 simolians. And, very well worth every penny, I might add. Great work by the design crew and shipwrights!!!
