size, shape, height and orientation of each space and its components are literally custom fit to the exact people who will be operating and fishing the boat. The 46’ conspicuously highlights another Jarrett Bay introduction—their signature bucket seats. First debuted by the builder on several convertible flybridges in the early 2000s, Ramsey says many competitors have copied this cushy convenience. “They were an idea that just makes so much sense, not only for comfort, but also safety, aboard a moving bridge or deck,” he says. The accompanying drink and mobile phone holders molded in nearby are an example of the “no detail too small” philosophy. An emphasis for seating is also made on Grander’s mezzanine cockpit and tower accommodations—the perfect aft-facing perches for eyeballing a trolling spread and identifying incoming gamefish. Belowdecks, a settee area and well- appointed galley give way to ample storage for custom tackle, a metallic-finished head and express style v-berth. The Grander’s offshore campaigns consist primarily of day fishing for big game out of her home port of Jost van Dyke, British Virgin Islands. Her speed and economy are well-balanced for premier trips and charters to the North Drop, one of the world’s finest spawning and fishing grounds for big blue marlin. HAVE IT COMPLETELY YOUR WAY Clearly their most ambitious recent build, Jaruco is the flagship Jarrett Bay stretching in at 90 feet and heralded as the most advanced custom sportfish ever built. This is largely due to an intensive research and development program initiated by her owner’s background in engineering and composites. No roll of carbon fiber was left unturned in the material selection and implementation of the 90’s various lamination and infusion processes. The proprietary matrices and other cutting- edge materials (such as titanium shafts) used in Jaruco afforded a massive weight savings of approximately 40,000 lbs. versus traditional construction techniques! Built around the fastest recreational marine engines available, the results speak for themselves—flinging the 90-footer around at a top speed of 44 knots (50.6 mph). A V-drive propulsion configuration allows the MTU 16V2000 M96Ls to spin those titanium shafts at the perfect angle of attack. Jaruco was also outfitted with experimental running gear such as carbon fiber rudders and removable hydrofoils— all part of a rigorous design program that was computer modeled and tank tested. And oh yea, the owner also stipulated she be built to the utmost standards in safety and seaworthiness.
