YATCO polled some of the top editors in the yachting industry to bring you this list of the best sportfish yachts out on the waters today. Check them out below!
Scroll below to find out more about our top five sportfish yachts or watch the video next.
#1 Sportfish Yacht: JARUCO – JARRET BAY 90
The Ultimate in Speed, Performance, Engineering and Safety
One of the most advanced sportfish yachts ever built, the Jarret Bay 90 JARUCO features the ultimate in speed, performance, engineering, and safety. The cold-molded built sportfish yacht was first created with computer modeling to calculate stress loads, stringers, bulkheads (constructed mainly of carbon fiber, which is a first) and running gear so they could measure how the lightweight materials would affect everything from speed to drag, to fuel efficiency. Built to ABS classification, she can withstand 8-foot seas at 50 knots. For a motor yacht of 90 feet long, she has a wide beam of 22ft 6in and a shallow draft of just 5ft 8in.
First Time-Ever Lamination Matrix
The cold-molded yacht hull was done so with the builder’s tried and true methods of utilizing marine-grade lumber as the core, with e-glass and epoxy that are merged with carbon fiber and Kevlar layers. This resulted in a first time-ever lamination matrix that greatly improved the structural integrity of the yacht, while the carbon fiber infusion in almost every structural component inward and upward helped to eliminate about 40,000 points from a traditional build of similar size.
Outfitted to the Nines
Beyond the titanium propeller shafts, carbon fiber tower structures and the aerospacegrade flooring and countertops, JARUCO is outfitted to the nines. Simply put, the 90 is one of the most extensively equipped recreational fishing machines known to man. Custom fit around a laundry-list of top-end equipment, the opulent, yet tastefully refined finish work found throughout this flagship build is equally impressive. Outstanding woodwork and craftsmanship expertly pair exotic lumbers, carpets and leathers. Engineered veneers, drain-less shower floors and self-adjusting glass tint impress the most discerning of guests. All this technology and luxury meshes together in a grand symphony of achievement.
#2 Sportfish Yacht: MARY P – 122FT Trinity Yachts
Largest Sportfish Yacht in 2009
Designed by Doug Sharp and built in aluminum by Trinity Yachts, MARY P was launched and delivered in 2009 as the largest sportfish yacht at the time, and is of the only sportfish yachts to be ABS-classed. MARY P is as luxurious as she is rugged and ready for sportfish action. She features all the state-of-the-art amenities that one would expect from a yacht of her length and overall size.
Satisfying the Most Avid of Anglers
Created to satisfy the most avid of anglers, the motor yacht features a forward-looking sonar in the bow by Simrad, and a transom that was specially created to back down on fish at 10 knots. Her cockpit is truly advanced, and features a hydraulically operated fighting chair that swivels via remote control allowing the angler to move across her beam with ease. Forward, a bait-prep station, ice maker, and hidden grill make for the ultimate gathering space before and after fishing.
Luxury Entertainment
Her spacious custom-designed interior was created by Judy Bell Davis, and she sleeps up to 8 guests in four luxurious staterooms, with additional accommodations for 4 crew. Spacious staterooms include a master, VIP, and two guest suites. Each one features its own en suite and entertainment system.
MARY P has a wide beam of 24 feet, a draft of 6.5 feet, and measures in at 255 gross tons. Two Caterpillar engines take her up to a max speed of 25 knots, with a cruising speed of 23 knots, and she is equipped with zero-speed stabilizers.

Ideal for the Tournament Circuit
Built with the tournament circuit in mind, the Hatteras GT59 sport yacht combines a top speed of 40 knots with incredible seakeeping ability and a comfortable ride.

With a length overall of 59 feet 9 inches (18.21m), she has a beam of 18 feet 9 inches (5.71m) and a shallow draft of 4 feet 9 inches (1.45m).
All One Needs Away from Home

The GT59 motor yacht is built for the serious billfish tournament angler, and has a fuel capacity of 1,750 gallons. She features one of the most comfortable rides in her class, and because she is built of a resin-infused foam core married to a fiberglass hull, she is not only strong, but she is light as well.
