With more than 60 builds under its belt, Jarrett Bay is used to turning clients’ dreams into hardcore fishing machines. So, naturally, when this project came up in discussions, the builders were eager to sink their teeth into the project and crank out the Swiss Army knife of sport-fishing boats. Renegade was built for a gentleman whose experience concentrates around South Florida sailfishing from larger center-consoles, but he wanted a boat that would travel well and provide all the family vibes he was looking for. At 56 feet, Hull No. 67 really is the perfect size to do a lot of, well, everything.
What appears to be an ordinary open-flybridge sportboat quickly turns extraordinary as you get closer, realizing that the forward mask is not really with Capt. Brian Tambone in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the day before the city’s international boat show. It didn’t take but a few seconds for me to marvel at all of the build’s custom touches, and I hadn’t gone any farther than the cockpit.
