Bayliss Boatworks 60

John Bayliss and his team of boatbuilders at Bayliss Boatworks in Wanchese, North Carolina, is accustomed to working with owners to create hand-crafted sport-fishing machines. That was certainly the case when Bayliss and his team took on their first walkaround build: the 60-foot Sequentis .

A walkaround design is similar to an express-boat layout, but it has deep alleys around the perimeter of the vessel. This setup gives anglers 360-degree access around the boat for fighting fish. And since Sequentis was designed for tournament live-bait sailfishing in South Florida, there’s as much fishing to be done off the bow as there is from the more traditional cockpit. 

Bayliss Boatworks 60

In keeping with this approach, and keying on the need for substantial quantities of live bait, Bayliss installed two livewells in the bow in addition to  wells in the transom and the cockpit. Proper pump selection and drainage were both key to make the intricate system function properly. There are also hidden fittings for removable on-deck livewells, adding to the system’s flexibility.

The 60-footer’s exterior layout demonstrates the builder’s penchant for efficient storage and attention to detail. Hand-selected teak makes up the cockpit sole, raised-bridge sole, forward walkaround deck and  the transom. Bayliss used traditional steam bending techniques to shape the walkaround deck—the result is as beautiful as it is durable. The bridge has a starboard-side dash with two Release Marine helm chairs along with a tackle center, a dinette table to starboard and a portside lounge. A sun pad and a forward bench are on the bow, as well as an anchor locker forward of the livewell and bait tubes. The starboard-side bridge bench seat houses a quick-change helium tank with custom brackets for ease of use when the wind is light and helium balloons are needed to keep the fishing kites flying properly.

Belowdecks, the layout includes a combination salon and galley with a Miele cooktop and speed oven, a Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer and a stainless-steel sink. Also included is a day head with shower to starboard, and a forward stateroom with twin bunks. Though the interior is smaller in size than standard sport-fishing yachts, the same attention to detail was carried out when building the boat’s custom teak cabinetry, sofa and bunks.

Bayliss Boatworks 60

In a sport where having the ability to quickly relocate to a hot bite can mean the difference between finishing in first place or last, Sequentis is fast. Powered by two MTU 12V2000 M96X diesel engines, this 60-foot walkaround reportedly hit speeds of well over 42 knots during the initial sea trials.

Bayliss Boatworks 75 Review

A Bayliss Boatworks sport-fishing boat on the water.

Boatbuilder John Bayliss and owner Jr. Davis have collaborated once again to create another world-class tournament-fishing battlewagon. When Davis planned to build another boat with the capability of fishing multiple destinations around the globe, his decision was quite easy. Having built a 77-footer more than five years ago, Davis knew exactly what was needed to accommodate—citing quietness, stability, ride and comfort to “extending my years of fishing.” And the Bayliss team is driven to produce that very thing, because Bayliss runs a competitive fishing program himself, adding a mindfulness that effectively translates into decades of experience for this new 75-footer called Wave Paver .

Watch: Hop aboard for a spin on Mama C , a 60-foot Bayliss .

Cockpit and Mezzanine

The 75’s cockpit is laid out for a variety of billfishing: The transom fish box can host tuna tubes that drop into an inner lip allowing the teak lids to stay closed; the lazarette ice box doubles as dredge or bait storage, with easy access through a large hatch just aft of the rocket launcher; and port and starboard hatches allow access for maintenance and provide even more storage.

The mezzanine boasts vast amounts of storage also, including a heated area for chamois and wash mitts to help eliminate that sour, wet odor. There is no shortage of cold storage either, with three freezers and a drink box. Against the salon bulkhead to port, an aft-facing lounge, and to starboard, there is a cabinet containing a copious amount of custom storage and a grill. The custom storage is ­CNC-cut-specific, so not only do you know which item might be missing, the items also stay firmly in place.

And to keep Wave Paver stable in an obnoxious ­beam sea, a Seakeeper 18 resides in a watertight hatch forward of the Release Marine fighting chair.

The helm and console of the Bayliss Boatworks 75.

Flybridge and Helm

The bridge is laid out in a center-console design with forward seating that contains a large freezer, and above the seat is another freezer that can double as more seating.

The console hosts two Garmin 22-inch multifunction displays, two 17-inch displays, VHF radios, and engine monitors. There are also two compartments to either side of the helm that contain the various switches, controls, systems-­monitoring displays and the stereo system. The safety gear is stored in the brow.

I noticed that the bridge wings were wider than usual, each with sliding pocket doors to store light-tackle spinning-gear outfits and gaffs. I cannot stress enough the fact that this 75-footer has zero dead space, and the crew has taken great care in placing every item so that when you are asked to retrieve something, they can tell you exactly where to find it—smart and efficient.

The interior salon of the Bayliss Boatworks 75.

A stained walnut interior with black leather soft goods offers a stunning contrast to the white dinette. This is the first walnut interior for Bayliss Boatworks, and true to form, they nailed it, utilizing different shades and two varied wood species. Immediately on each side of the salon are storage areas for headsets and accessories and satellite phones, in addition to a USB charging station and a catch-all drawer. The cabinet below the starboard-side window conceals a retractable 55-inch television.

Under each section of the U-shaped sofa reveals more massive amounts of storage that are organized utilizing dividers. Breakaway panels behind the sofa backs allow access to components for easy service. The Wave Paver program typically consists of a large crew, so the need for seating and open space is vital. A Release Marine custom Circassian and black walnut coffee table articulates to dining height with multiple leaves to double the table in size, while a smaller matching table is found forward at the dinette. And underfoot, a raised platform hosts a large storage drawer loaded with trolling plugs.

The galley is a chef’s dream with a Wolf cooktop and oven, Viking microwave, three Sub-Zero refrigeration units, and granite countertops. Each drawer and cabinet are meticulously crafted for silverware, cutlery, and storage containers to maximize space and minimize movement.

Forward to port is a spacious day head with access to storage in the brow of the house. Across from the head, there’s an incredible pantry and minibar. The pantry is designed to reduce traffic in the galley, and houses a countertop, ice maker, liquor storage, plumbed coffee maker, spice rack and cookware storage, and other chef accoutrements. This is quite an impressive and well-thought-out area to accommodate the needs of this large traveling crew.

As you walk down the companionway, the book-matched walnut veneers overhead provide a nice departure from the traditional soft liners, and even the bezels of the LED lights are matched in walnut. Completely custom and fashion-forward, no detail was left behind. To port, the tackle room stores tackle boxes, rods and reels, foul-weather gear, and a washer/dryer. Across the hall are two crew staterooms with a Jack-and-Jill-style head, and each bunk provides storage below.

Just prior to the master stateroom entry, a raised area reveals a hatch to access more storage, and tunnels lead to access the pump room bulkhead, allowing the crew to access the forward tunnel without disturbing the owner at rest. The master stateroom also sports a queen-size bed with storage below, a sofa, also with storage below, hanging lockers, night tables, and an en suite head with a cavernous shower.

A stark, clean engine room of the Bayliss Boatworks 75.

Engine Room, Pump Room and Performance

Through a crash door in the tackle room, you enter the air-conditioned pump room. Contained here are the water pumps, watermakers, chillers, a Seakeeper 9, and the proprietary Bayliss freshwater cooling system that supplies fresh water to all components that would normally require raw-water cooling, including both Seakeepers.

Another crash door leads to the engine room, where you stand between the 16-cylinder MTUs. Looking aft reveals a Northern Lights generator on each side. Bayliss is always thinking ahead of the maintenance and repair curve: Both of the generators have the drip pans removed and are mounted to a thick piece of aluminum on top of Starboard. By removing five of the six mounting bolts, the generators can pivot away from the aft bulkhead to provide easier access to the back sides—ingenious, to say the least. Both the pump room and engine room have custom tool drawers that are ­CNC-cut foam for each tool that resides there.

Read Next: Meet boatbuilder John Bayliss in our exclusive interview .

The 2,600 hp MTUs are impressively quiet, clean-burning, and allow Wave Paver to show off at various speeds. She is quite nimble at 1,800 rpm and provides a comfortable 32-knot cruise; at 2,100 rpm, she hits 38-plus knots; and a fully loaded top-end rockets her out at a speed of 44.6 knots.

John Bayliss and his crew, along with input from experienced owners, continue to push the envelope of innovation and craftsmanship to ultimately deliver an award-winning vessel to the discerning customer. Keep an eye out for Wave Paver —or her 77-foot sister—because wherever you see them, I am sure they will be paving waves to the top of the leaderboard.

About BAYLISS BOATWORKS

  • Our Facility

WE BELIEVE IN HONORING OUR CUSTOMERS BY BUILDING THEM THE MOST EFFECTIVE, EFFICIENT, AND WELL-BUILT SPORTFISHING YACHTS IN EXISTENCE.

bayliss yachts

There is no textbook on how to build a great fishing yacht. There’s only one school: a lifetime on the water, and that’s where John Bayliss got his education.

Since 2002, Bayliss and his team have been applying experience to reality to create bulletproof sportfishing yachts in our Wanchese, NC facility. Long before the first piece of jig frame is ever laid in the hull shop, we begin the design process. Each yacht is a physical manifestation of the unique needs and preferences expressed by our customers, so we start the project with a series of questions and topics that help us get to know more about the customer and how the customer wants to use their yacht. What will your yacht be used most for? Will you be entertaining as much as fishing? How far will you travel? Where do you fish? What type of fishing do you prefer? Will your family use the yacht? What is most important to you in a layout? These and other questions are what guide us in shaping each custom sportfishing yacht.

Once a layout is established and basic specifications are finalized, we move on to the construction phase, where your yacht begins as a jig.

The yacht jig will remain in the hull shop, while it surpasses benchmarks like the “Whiskey Plank,” hull rollover, and engine install – just to name a few. About a third of the way through the process, the boat is moved to the main shop where the remainder of the construction milestones are reached – cabin installation, flybridge and mezzanine build-out, interior cabinetry construction, paint, sea trial, and finally, delivery. Your personalized projected construction timeline will change depending on the size and complexity of your vessel. No matter the build, the custom nature of these projects means that we place a high value on communicating effectively with our yacht owners.
