Jarrett Bay Boatworks, like many North Carolina builders, can trace its roots to the charter fishing industry off the rich, but sometimes treacherous, fishing grounds along our Atlantic coast. The company’s founders, as well as others now associated with the corporation, were charter fishermen who spent years honing their skills and knowledge in the cockpit and at the helm. Jarrett Bay began in 1986 by building a single boat — a boat of necessity to replace an aging local charter boat. In an old tin shed, the Sensation took shape like many before her.
