“Tony has been on many other builds since taking delivery of his Jarrett Bay, and realizes it will be difficult to match what he has with his 84,” says Clark. He references the expansive food pantry and tackle space, as well as the incredible amount of Sub-Zero freezer storage throughout the cockpit, bridge and galley. It seems everywhere you look, you’re likely to uncover a super-cooled compartment to stow bait trays, ice or beverages. Jarrett Bay Project Manager Nile Mitchell agrees, “The interior volume is just huge. Even compared to larger boats, the 84’ feels more spacious than most.” For example, each stateroom features an en-suite head, the master and VIP bunks are extra-long, and the Captain’s quarters features a double-sized berth. Vast amounts of storage are found throughout every level of the yacht. A well-organized pantry includes full upright Sub-Zero units and doubles as storage for assorted tackle, large reels, spools of line and other components. Continuing the theme, the salon dinette was built elevated enough to create a large pull-out drawer with exquisitely organized rod and reel storage. Back in the salon, the unique walnut and cherry inlay flooring is equally as eye-catching as the beautifully crafted overhead air troughs. These beautiful raw materials were milled into wider pieces than traditional teak and holly flooring, creating four-inch boards instead of the typical 2 ¼” slats. The result is subtle but effective; the larger patterns reduce some of the visual clutter subconsciously interpreted by the eye. Despite stepping into the build after the general layout and mechanical specs had been set by the commissioning owner, Sydes contributed mightily to making it his own, and often drew from his business as a real estate developer. Nile explains that Tony drove the decision to create cherry-veneered inset troughs in the salon headliner, which work to distribute the air conditioning more equally (and inconspicuously) than a few concentrated vents blasting air into the space. Initially designed by now-retired Gary Davis, mechanical and design engineers Brandon Davis and Chad Vorhees saw to most of the final stages of systems design work for Mr. Sydes. The stonework countertops throughout the boat were fabricated by his own real estate construction team for installation at Jarrett Bay. The Sydes also chose satin over a high gloss finish on the interior woodwork, which imparts a rich, but more understated feel throughout the vessel’s interior. Another addition they implemented were electrically controlled rams (instead of gas-assisted) to operate all the bunk movements, such as folding out the pullman berths, or accessing the storage underneath all the beds. With no detail too small for the folks at Jarrett Bay, Nile recounts the custom walnut and cherry holders they were asked to create for the crew’s Yeti cups and mugs, built to a more suitable size than the average cup holder and guaranteeing their morning drinks would never be rocked by a stray boat wake. Custom cutouts for all the flatware and dishes and a beautiful two-level liquor cabinet are additional examples of customizing the boat to every detail desired by the customer. Above on the bridge, Sydes asked the Jarrett Bay team to fashion a huge chaise lounge connected to the main console in lieu of a more traditional table and seating. Upholstered by the Captain’s Shop, and allowing for a huge amount of storage underneath, this lounge is a focal point of the bridge and the relaxation of guests. With air conditioning also available on the bridge, not only is this the highly functioning control center of the boat, but it is perfectly comfortable in all conditions. This rig also boasts one of the more elaborate sound systems ever to be installed on a Jarrett Bay. Wet Sounds speakers adorn the tower facing both forward and aft. There are at least two 12” sub-woofers, and six 770 JL audio speakers, plus another four down in the cockpit. The system is integrated with the Lumishore lights 14 BLUEWATER
