Yellowfin 54 Offshore Boat Review

• By Capt. Karl Anderson
• Updated: January 5, 2021

It’s often said that first impressions are everything. In the case of the Yellowfin 54 Offshore, that isn’t even close to accurate. Beyond the initial awe inspired by its sheer size and expansive fishing space, this massive center console delivers a pedigree of performance and comfort on its smooth-riding hull as well as multiple surprises.

With the ability to get to the grounds quickly, powered by quad outboards, and seating for up to 14, including massive dual-row seats at the helm, it comfortably accommodates a robust crew. Its cabin with a queen berth, head, shower, galley and lounge offers plenty of overnight and cruising amenities.

Accessed from within the cabin, a neatly organized mechanical space houses the gyro stabilizer, batteries, critical wiring and electronics components that reside beneath the helm deck.

Fishing First

As always, the crew at Yellowfin focuses on fishing. The 54 comes with a massive 100-gallon livewell in its transom. With its two lids, the well can be configured as one contiguous tank or divided into two, so anglers can separate different types of bait. Molded-in single tuna tubes flank either side of the well.

I counted more than 50 rod holders on my test boat including horizontal holders under the gunwales, and vertical holders in the tower/hardtop, forward lounge, and gunwales and on the transom. Along with multiple tackle-storage locations throughout the boat, gear junkies should find plenty of fishing features for day trips or extended destination excursions.

Space and Comfort

The 54 features bow V-lounge seating with backrests and storage as well as cavernous in-deck dunnage storage. The forward console lounge easily accommodates two to three adults for cruising or sun worshipping.

Yellowfin also used every possible space above and below deck for storage of dive gear, fishing tackle, rods, fresh catch in insulated chill-plate cooled boxes and all other manner of gear needed to make the operation run smoothly.

Running Right

Equally impressive is the 54′s performance. My test boat featured four Yamaha 425s; it carried 500 gallons of fuel, full water and four crew. As we accelerated, the boat lifted to plane. I never lost sight of the horizon.

I found the fuel-efficient sweet spot at 5,000 rpm, running 50 mph while burning 97.1 gallons per hour, for .52 mpg. Comparatively, a large sportfish at 30 knots, burning 100 gph, makes 300 miles on 1,000 gallons during a 10-hour day. This Yellowfin 54 would make the same 300-mile trip in roughly seven hours, having burned 700 gallons.

Warbird Marine Holdings Announces the Acquisition of Yellowfin Yachts

Warbird becomes the industry leader of premium saltwater center console boats with combination of Yellowfin Yachts and Invincible Boat Company

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2, 2021 (SARASOTA, FL): Warbird Marine Holdings, formed by EagleTree Capital to invest in category-leading boat builders and managed by industry veteran John Dorton, announced it has completed the acquisition of Yellowfin Yachts. Yellowfin will be a separately managed sister company to Invincible Boat Company, which Warbird acquired in 2019. With this acquisition, Warbird becomes the largest and best capitalized designer and builder of custom offshore fishing boats.

Founded by Wylie Nagler in 1998, Yellowfin pioneered the premium center console category. In the 23 years since, Yellowfin has established itself as the most recognized brand in its segment and synonymous with the saltwater lifestyle.

“We are delighted to add Yellowfin to our Warbird platform. Yellowfin is at the pinnacle of their segment both in product line up and brand prestige,” said John Dorton, CEO of Warbird. “The Yellowfin team will remain in place at their Sarasota headquarters with Wylie Nagler as President. Wylie will continue to focus on the products and relationships that have made Yellowfin a legendary brand.”

“At Yellowfin, we have always strived to build the best boat by using the best materials — the best hardware, the best systems,” said Wylie Nagler, Founder and President of Yellowfin Yachts. “Joining forces with Warbird and John Dorton gives us the scale and resources of the Warbird platform, without changing Yellowfin’s DNA or our relentless focus on quality.”

Warbird will invest in Yellowfin’s facilities, people, and new product development – the same playbook that has made Invincible one of the fastest growing brands in the industry. Yellowfin and Invincible will continue to be managed independently.

“Both the Yellowfin and Invincible brands have their own personalities and design philosophies, and we intend to keep it that way,” Dorton said.

Mr. Dorton stated, “the center console category is split between volume builders that can’t deliver the customization, quality and performance the premium buyer demands, and small prestige brands that build quality boats but lack the scale and investment to become truly state-of-the-art.”

“By combining the resources of these two great businesses, Warbird will be able to accelerate innovation, invest in quality and customer service, expand capacity and ensure timely deliveries to our valued customers and distributors,” Dorton said. “Our goal is to set a new bar for the premium center console segment – world-beating boats with a complete customer experience to match.”

Jones Day provided legal counsel to Warbird Marine Holdings. Barrett Evans of Montecito Capital served as financial advisor to Yellowfin Yachts and Katz Barron provided legal counsel.

About Warbird Marine Holdings: Parent company to Yellowfin Yachts and Invincible Boat Company, Warbird Marine Holdings brings together the discipline and business rigor of a larger company with the entrepreneurial brands of premium sportfishing boats. In doing so, Warbird strives to create a higher level of craftsmanship, build quality, durability and customer experience for brands in its group.

The ESG Committee also aims to ensure that all EagleTree employees are aware of EagleTree’s culture of social responsibility and any amendments to this Policy.

As applicable, EagleTree’s Investment Committees in partnership with the ESG Sub-Committee oversees and considers ESG issues, if any, that are material to a potential portfolio company investment. With assistance from the ESG Sub-Committee and outside ESG specialists, as appropriate, EagleTree’s deal teams manage and monitor material ESG issues that have been identified during portfolio company ownership.

5. ESG Investment Process Integration

• Engage with outside advisors, as necessary, to analyze and address ESG issues, risks and opportunities that arise.

This list is not exhaustive and is qualified by our legal documentation and any applicable side letters governing our investments.
• Ownership Process: During ownership, EagleTree will aim to:
• Work with portfolio companies to advance EagleTree’s ESG principles with the goal of improving long-term performance and minimizing adverse impacts in these areas.
