Sportfish: 94 Sea Force IX 2013 [BONNY READ]
Location: LOS SUENOS, COSTA RICA
Asking Price: $11,400,000

"Bonny Read" is the largest of the performance sport line available by custom builder Sea Force IX. From bow to stern her long slopping sheer carries nearly to the cockpit where it drops to the precise height for optimum fishing advantage. Each Sea Force IX is designed and built to each client's specs and "Bonny Read" is no exception. The interior is designed with a European layout with the galley separate from the dining and salon areas. All of the interior paneling throughout the vessel is crafted from quarter-sawn teak derived from a single tree and the grain pattern is meticulously matched throughout. All of the yacht's hard surface counters are constructed of lightweight marble and granite by factory-skilled artisans. A quick walkthrough begins aft of the salon on the mezzanine with a shaded forward-facing new Sunbrella upholstered bench seating area with a teak table and storable teak chairs. To starboard is a corner seat to monitor the action in the cockpit and to starboard, a custom stainless steel spiral staircase leads to the enclosed bridge aft deck. The salon is entered through automated electric double French doors, to port an oversize newly upholstered U-shaped sofa that faces a book-matched teak cabinet housing the new OLED Flatscreen TV. To starboard is an internal artisan sculpted curved staircase that leads to the enclosed bridge and the day head access. The dining area is formed around a custom-crafted teak table and chair set that seats eight comfortably and is surrounded by teak cabinetry housing the yachts stem and flatware, silverware, and linens. A new Miele wine cooler and clear ice maker are also hidden behind the cabinetry areas as well. The newly appointed galley and crew quarter areas are accessed via the starboard companionway that continues forward to the master and three guest staterooms.
The most notable feature of "Bonny Read" is the hull construction and her pedigree of being a performance-built sport yacht. No description is just to explain the seamless and effortless ability "Bonny Read" makes when her performance is put to the test. Her hull geometry generates lift on nearly 90 percent of the running surface at low angles of attack and an economical cruise speed of 26 knots gives a range of 800 miles. Her entire mechanical space has been completely redesigned and recently refit to make her arguably the most practical and functional yacht built to date.
After 8 years of traveling and fishing around the world, it was decided to bring "Bonny Read" to modern-day technology and standards. Every aspect was considered during her refit and overseen by Rubicon Maritime consulting. A 6-month yard period resulted in a complete update of the Northern Lights gen sets, Atlas system, and frequency converters, a completely new HVAC system, a complete electrical rewire and upgrade to the electrical distribution network, and two Sea Keeper 18's. Other upgrades such as a newly designed exhaust system, newly designed fuel tanks, and fuel manifold system were also integrated. On the interior, every soft good was replaced including all of the carpeted soles throughout. The ship's communication and satellite systems were upgraded to the most advanced and practical systems available. A full Simrad electronics package was installed and every option was integrated into that package to include two radars, AIS, Chirp technology sounder, and autopilot. A fully redesigned helm on the Skybridge was manufactured and a Palm Beach teak helm pod was built to better utilize her space and functionality to the sky bridge. A custom Pipe Welders Hardtop was built and installed and all new custom polished stainless steel pipework was replaced. The most distinguishable change to "Bonny Read" was her new dark gray hull paint job and white topside paint. All of her teak decks and steps were also replaced as well as revarnishing of her teak cap rails.

[@jameseisenhauer6631]

Probably Top 3, at worst - best looking sports fishing yachts I have seen, the refit looks incredible. The amenities look top notch, and the 800 nm range at 26 knots is impressive as hell. Also, liked the presentation, very no nonsense and to the point. Honestly, probably could have spent another 5 minutes on it given how much there was to see, but all in all, very informative.

Okay I don't know boats very well so explain to me how 800 nautical miles can get you around the world because she can't cross the engine she can't cross the ocean and all she can go is 800 miles in the oceans 3500 so how could she be considered around the world boat explain that to me

[@jameseisenhauer6631]

@rws210 a sportfisher is not a boat you are doing around the world, but for someone who, say lives on the gulf coast, from New Orleans to Miami, can take this boat down and back to central america, which has some excellent fishing from what I have heard...

Very beautiful Sportsfisher ! Denison Yachting . The only question I have is , I love boats and the famous " Mary P " got me hooked on Sportfishers , I've seen so many Yachts and I've been on over 40 . But when will a NEW SPORTSFISHER be Built with a AXBOW Nose ? . I think it will look different , But I also think it will be the perfect match ! Sportsfishers are very nice , smooth and fast ! And having a Axbow nose would be absolutely incredible ! .

[@DenisonYachting]

Glad you enjoyed it Craig, and that's a great question. We haven't seen sportfishers being built with axbow bows. What you have to keep in mind is that sportfishers need to perform well at high speeds, and having a hull that allows you to plane out is crucial to this. With an axbow bow, they would have difficulty reaching higher speeds, as it would not be able to plane out on the water.

[@craigpatterson6225]

@@DenisonYachting hmmm ??? Every Axbow that I've been on " Splits " the water instead of riding on top of it . That's why I say this , because the Axbows I've been on , I literally was trying to see how it works ! It splits the water and with the use of Vectors Math , it's better ! Fuel is " highly wasted " with the regular nose . That is what I truly think . And , with a Axbow nose .... You can build out ( at least ) 5 to 10 more feet . Because it's straight up and down . On this beautiful boat that's an extra 7 to 10 feet of room up front for Cabin space . Axbow Construction doesn't slow " Any " boat down .... it helps it out with Speed , Fuel savings and looks .

[@Gardis72]

@@craigpatterson6225 weirdest looking bows and ships I've ever seen. Nothing like the magnificent flare of a traditional ship's bow a la SS United States or this magnificent sportfisher.

[@emergingit]

Just curious why so many re-designs were needed? A red-design of the exhaust suggests problems with the original? Great looking boat and sounds like a lot of work was done.!

[@jerrygilpin7554]

Functionality and accessibility was a big factor, also added (2) Sea Keepers that required moving the original exhaust to accommodate the space needed.

[@johnthomson8332]

I know right, I think he said the beam was 22', that's the same as my house, my house is also only about 50 feet long, So that thing is twice the size of my house, amazing. I'd give up sex for the rest of my life for that thing. Well maybe have to think about that one.

White? What if it grey, much modern look. Are boats like this paintable or wrappeable?🤔
