In this video I take some of my old footage of two massive sportfishing yachts backing down and ask you to give me your thoughts on which boat can back down while fishing better than the other.

Boat 1: The Jaruco is a 90-foot custom sportfishing boat built by Jarrett Bay Boatworks. Completed and delivered in December 2017, it represents the next evolution in offshore performance and comfort. The boat features a revolutionary cold-molded hull with carbon fiber stringers and bulkheads, designed to withstand 8-ft seas at 50 knots. The Jaruco has a length of 90 feet, a beam of 22 feet 6 inches, and a draft of 5 feet 8 inches. It has a dry weight of 150,700 lbs and a gross weight of 185,000 lbs. The boat is powered by twin 2,600hp MTU 16V2000 M96L engines and has a fuel capacity of 4,400 gallons.

The interior of the Jaruco is stunning, featuring a mix of high-gloss and satin finishes throughout the 465 square foot salon. The salon includes a full-function galley with a large island bar and a U-shaped dinette. The boat has a 310 square foot cockpit, which is designed for sportfishing and features an air-conditioned mezzanine with ample seating and storage compartments.

The Jaruco is built with advanced composite construction techniques, utilizing titanium and carbon fiber composites in various parts of the boat, such as the bridge, cabin, decks, and stringer system.

This construction approach results in significant weight savings and improved performance.

Sportfishing Boat 2: The Bonny Read is a 94-foot sportfishing yacht built by Sea Force IX in 2013. It is one of the largest sportfisher yachts around, boasting an impressive top speed and great condition. The yacht is designed with a European layout, separating the galley from the dining and salon areas. The interior features quarter-sawn teak derived from a single tree, with the grain patterns painstakingly matched.

The Bonny Read is powered by two 2600 hp MTU diesel engines, which allow it to achieve a top speed of 35 knots and a cruising speed of 27 knots. The hull geometry generates lift on nearly 90% of the running surface at low angles of attack, which translates into an economical cruise speed and a range of 800 nautical miles.

The yacht's hull and superstructure are made of GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic), contributing to a gross tonnage of 95 tons. The hull features prop pockets and a minimal keel for improved sea keeping while running dead level, as opposed to the bow-high entry of some vessels in its class.

The Bonny Read can comfortably accommodate up to 9 guests in 4 cabins, including one VIP cabin, and is also capable of carrying up to 3 crew members. The cockpit is optimized for fishing, with a long sloping sheer that carries nearly to the cockpit where it drops to the precise height for optimum fishing advantage.

The yacht underwent a significant refit in 2021, which included both cosmetic and mechanical upgrades, such as an overhaul of the engines. The refit also included the replacement of the original hardtop with a custom-built Pipewelders hardtop featuring new satellite domes, radars, electric reels, spotlights, and GPS antennas.

The Bonny Read is currently located in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and is available for sale at a price of $9,800,000 USD.
