Working Yachts 86

A series of yachts have been developed to meet a growing market of yachtsmen (and women) looking for a capable, seaworthy, offshore cruising yacht with exceptional fuel efficiency and stability, while still offering all the luxury of a “superyacht” interior. Ranging in size from 62 to 95 feet, these semi-production hulls can be customized in style and interior layouts to suit the most discerning owner.

This 86 foot sportfish style yacht has been designed as a filming platform for the Inside Sportfishing Show currently featured on the Fox Sports Network and also on streaming video on the internet (www.insidesportfishing.com). This yacht will spend the majority of her time out on the oceans, exploring the fishing potential of exotic locales on a two year shoot documenting the journeys of famous author and fishing legend Zane Grey.

Like her sister ships, she features a bulbous bow and the Bray fixed-active fin stabilization system for enhanced performance in heavy seas as well as comfort at anchor. Her state-of-the-art hull form gives optimum fuel efficiency and form stability through 180 degrees of heel as well as exceptional seakeeping. This also gives her a 5000 mile range at 10 knots, with a comfortable top speed of 15 knots. Her 24’-6” beam gives ample interior space for the two VIP staterooms and two guest staterooms, along with crew space for four. The spacious and well-equipped galley is ready to provide a wonderful feast at the end of a busy day - as well as any refreshments needed while under way. The main salon looks out over a large lanai deck fitted with lounges and a barbeque. Aft is a huge fishing cockpit fully equipped with bait tanks, tackle center, removable fighting chair, and of course freezer storage below for the catch of the day. The bridge deck is geared up with all the necessary electronics and computer systems expected on an ocean going vessel. Aft of the command station is a separate editing suite for the post-production of the day’s filming as well as a separate crew cabin.
