From the August 2004 issue of Southern Boating magazine:
In 1986. A small group of friends came together off the Carolina coast to build a sportfosherman to replace their aging charter boat. When that first boat found a buyer before it was even completed, Jarrett Bay Boatworks was born. The firm is now one of the largest builders of Carolina-style sportfishermen; its latest project is the 32′ outboard-powered express walk-around sportfisherman.
