Bayliss 73 – Boat Review

• By Scott Shane
• Updated: November 12, 2011

After fishing offshore for 40 years, Peter Cherasia knew he was ready to build a custom boat of his own, but he didn’t know who should build it — until one memorable day in the Bahamas, that is.

“We were in the Pocket at Chub Cay, and it was blowing 28 knots,” Cherasia says. “Bayliss hull No. 10, Man-e-War, passed us up at 30-plus knots, and the captain was drinking a cup of coffee!”

Two years later, Cherasia took delivery of the 73-foot Shark Byte — Bayliss Boatworks’ newest and largest launch to date. The mission of the owner and builder was to take the dry, smooth ride and detailed craftsmanship of a Bayliss-built boat, and add innovative ideas on how to deliver comfort, long-range capability and state-of-the-art technology. The goal being to create, in the words of her captain, Rich Barrett: “the best fishing boat ever.”

Shark Byte primarily fishes for marlin and tuna. She summers in New Jersey, fishes Florida and the Bahamas through March, and then heads to the Caribbean. She’s capable of running on her own bottom (cruise speed during daylight hours and 10 knots at night) to Bermuda. On a recent trip this summer, Barrett and crew released 31 whites in two days. They feel that their mission has been accomplished.

It’s hard not to be mesmerized by her size. Shark Byte was moored bow out, so my initial impression was of her 20-foot-wide, high-gloss, single-piece teak transom, similarly finished aft bulkhead and Release fighting chair. Those pieces stood in beautiful contrast with the bright-white cold-molded hull and flying bridge, with her low-profile sides and the sheen of the subtly designed tuna tower that complements her lines without overwhelming them.

It’s a dead heat, in my opinion, in terms of whether the performance, technology or well-thought-out, minute details steal the show. It’s difficult, though, not to begin with the ride and handling, which I experienced firsthand just after Hurricane Irene wreaked havoc on the area.

The 2,600 hp MTUs came to life, sans smoke. The hydraulic bow thruster, controlled by buttons mounted within the single-lever controls, easily slid the expansive bow between the piles. As Shark Byte idled down New Jersey’s Navesink River and into Ambrose Channel, we managed to dodge several telephone poles. The 73-foot Shark Byte achieved a quick hole shot and a level and quiet ride. We conversed easily, at volumes slightly above library levels, while cruising at 35 knots and turning 1,950 rpm under an 82 percent load. Wide-open throttle was just shy of 45 knots.

When it was time to simulate fighting a fish, Barrett put the screws to the mechanics and spun her 360 degrees, completing the circle in earnest. There wasn’t one clatter, chatter or knock. The underwater gear offered minimal vibration. The GPS read an amazing 8.2 knots when backing down. That’s the fastest I’ve ever gone in reverse. A leftover swell deposited a hot-tub-size volume of water into the teak-soled cockpit, but it evacuated as quickly as it entered, via the excellent drainage setup.

“Our hull design combination has more deadrise, 13½ degrees, aft than a typical Carolina build with a sharper entry. The convex sections forward help us achieve more speed and a softer ride,” Bayliss says.

Under way, the lower chine pushed the water several feet from the hull sides. At trolling speeds, the cockpit remained quiet and the trolling lanes clear.

Flying Bridge Every square inch of Shark Byte has a purpose, and the design thereof examined and evaluated to the nth degree. The flying bridge is a perfect example.

The center console layout provides room for guests and crew to navigate the entire area. A unique rod storage setup with air-actuated pocket doors holds eight 30- and eight 50-pound outfits on quick-connect mounts. The life raft, a washdown station, and a refrigerated compartment and bait freezer are all stowed forward of the helm. The EPIRB stows out of view in an armrest.

Within the helm, you’ll find a series of wire bundles, neatly secured in and around the electronic modules. Above, and behind clear glass screens supported by polished gas shocks, Bayliss installed four 19-inch monitors to display all the data from the Simrad NSE, Furuno radars and sonars, satellite receivers and cameras.

A control station outfitted with twin VHFs, a Simrad NSE and engine controls sits way on top of the Palm Beach-constructed tower. It’s a comfortable perch, where the multiple occupants can easily wedge in on a rough day.

Cockpit The business area of Shark Byte looks more like a boardroom than a boat. Wherever your eyes fall, they will not find a single seam in the joinery. The side compartments, such as the ones for the shore power hookups, and doors operate pneumatically. Actuating buttons (where feasible) are hidden from view and away from dripping water.

Every seat, nook and cranny that would accept a door, drawer or hinge has the capability to stow something — an electric grill even pulls out of the bulkhead on the starboard side. (The three-tiered bait compartment has a huge capacity for dredge baits.) Bayliss positions the air-conditioning vents on the bulkhead below the salon window, dumping the cool air directly on the shoulders of the crew seated on the mezzanine.

An extensive ice-making and refrigeration system cools, slushes and freezes where needed. More than 200 feet of copper tubing was used. With the unique transom door, both gate and door function as a single entity; you can land fish easily, without scuffing the brightwork.

Machinery and Construction Bayliss doesn’t take any shortcuts. “As a builder, we tend to overbuild. To me it’s a good thing; it prevents structural problems now, and 10 or 15 years down the road, the boat will accept higher-horsepower engines with no problem.” the builder says.

The hull sides are 2 inches thick, with two layers of Okoume plywood, an inch of core cell and 6 mm of Okoume, and then bi-axial fiberglass is hand-laid on both sides. The bottom has three layers of Okoume with five layers of glass on the keel and two on the bottom.

Even the areas hidden from view, such as the centerline tunnel that houses the bilge pump drainage system and bow thruster, are finished in a yachtlike manner. The stand-up engine room is simple and precise. It houses the MTU engines, the DeAngelo exhaust and a set of 30 kW Northern Lights generators contained in custom-design sound shields.

The battery bank sits outboard of the starboard engine, where it is easily accessed. The side-scan sonar mounts amidships, aft in the compartment. The addition of an Eskimo ice maker and a hydraulic tank finish off the space.

The 3½-inch shafts, hooked to a set of ZF gears, use a spline, not a key way system, and are matched to a set of five-blade Veem propellers that get her up to speed.

An air-conditioned pump room houses MTU control units, two 5-ton AC chiller systems, an FCI 1,800-gallons-per-day watermaker, a fuel polisher, a compressor and tank, and two huge raw water pumps. Every pump and system comes with a built-in backup that the captain can easily switch to. Precise engineering was needed, so all are easily accessible for service and replacement.

Interior, Detail and Finish The detail and craftsmanship of the interior of this four-stateroom, three-head boat exceeds expectations. The salon table sports Bayliss’ custom-made fluted corners, made on a jig and then sent to Release Marine for final completion. All the teak cabinetry and curved trim are fabricated in a similar fashion.

All monitors on the boat are capable of projecting any of the electronics displays or video. They all rise on command or revert to a secure hidden cabinet. Air-actuated pocket doors are used throughout, and each berth offers storage underneath accessed by the same system.

Both the VIP cabin and the captain’s quarters feature truly unique air-actuated, retractable Pullman-style bunks. All cabins are painstakingly accented with teak trim, bountiful lockers, hidden compartments for additional storage, and neat tracts for cell phone and gadget recharging.

The galley and salon continue in the same thread of functionality. There’s abundant seating throughout, and the dinette has its own screen, so the owner and captain can multitask as needed. The galley is spacious, with truly ingenious ways to store cutlery, dishes and utensils. You’ll find functioning drawers where other builders would place a faux front; one splits the drain under the sink — remarkable.

The last piece of wizardry found on Shark Byte involves the lighting and the walk-in AV closet housing the Savant — the control system for the high-tech Vantage lighting system and the onboard video — and the ship’s main electrical panel. With the Savant system, an iPad or iPhone can remotely control almost everything “switchable” in the ship’s systems.

“When you can look back and say there’s not a single thing that we would change, I feel Shark Byte is perfectly designed for the way we fish,” Barrett says. To me, that says it all.

In short, the cost of a superyacht can vary widely depending on its size, amenities, and customization.

While some may be able to get away with spending a few million dollars, others may end up spending hundreds of millions of dollars on their dream yacht.

No matter what your budget is, its important to do your research and find out exactly what youre getting for your money before signing on the dotted line.

Keeping Superyachts Out of the Public Eye

When it comes to owning a superyacht, some owners prefer to keep their vessels out of the public eye.

Understandably, these individuals are concerned with privacy and discretion, and therefore tend to take measures to ensure their yachts are not visible to outsiders.

For instance, some superyacht owners opt to keep their vessels in private marinas, away from the public areas of larger ports.

Additionally, some yacht owners may choose to hire security guards to patrol and protect their vessels while they are moored or sailing.

In addition to physical security, some superyacht owners also use technology to keep their vessels out of the public eye.

For example, a yacht owner may choose to install a satellite-based communications system that allows them to keep their vessel completely off-radar.

This system works by bouncing signals off satellites rather than transmitting them, making it virtually impossible for anyone to track the yachts movements.

Finally, some superyacht owners also choose to limit the number of people who have access to their vessels.

For instance, the owner may only allow family members and close friends to board the yacht.

Additionally, the owner may choose to employ a limited number of staff to help maintain the vessel and keep it running smoothly.

These individuals may be required to sign non-disclosure agreements to ensure they do not disclose any information about the yacht or its owner.

Overall, while some superyacht owners may choose to keep their vessels out of the public eye, there are still plenty of other ways to show off the opulence associated with owning a superyacht.

From swimming pools and helicopter pads to on-board cinemas and spas, there are many luxurious amenities that can make a superyacht the envy of any jet setter.

Final Thoughts

Superyachts are a symbol of luxury and status, and the list of yacht owners reads like a who’s who of billionaires.

From the Emir of Qatar’s world-record breaking $400 million yacht to Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen’s vessel with a helicopter pad and on-board spa, the amenities of these luxury vessels are truly stunning.

With prices ranging from $30 million to over $400 million, owning a superyacht is an expensive endeavor.

Whether you’re looking to purchase one or just curious to learn more about the owners and their amenities, this guide will provide you with all the information you need to stay up to date with the superyacht scene.

New owner for Nobiskrug’s 77m Black Shark

The German superyacht builder has announced a new owner for the 77m Black Shark, marking the third order since the shipyard’s acquisition last summer.

Nobiskrug has announced that a new owner has signed for the 77m Black Shark , so construction will continue ahead of a scheduled delivery in summer 2023. Imperial is acting as the broker and owner’s representative of the five-deck superyacht, which will be completed in Nobiskrug’s 160m air-conditioned dry dock.

Philipp Maracke, Managing Director of Nobiskrug, said: “In intensive negotiations we prevailed against strong competitors and proved that we are the best partner for our customer. The fact that we were able to renew the contract for the construction of this outstanding ship makes me very proud on behalf of the employees of the shipyard.”

The contract marks the third order since the Rendsburg shipyard’s acquisition last year by the Tennor Group, with investor Lars Windhorst significantly involved in the negotiations for Black Shark .

The yacht’s dynamic, imposing exterior is by UK-based Winch Design, while Dutch studio Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design created the interior. Features include a matt-black hull, silver metallic superstructure, a distinctive reverse bow and a mast reminiscent of a shark’s fin.

Black Shark is being built in compliance with Red Ensign Group Yacht Code Part A and IMO Tier 3 regulations, which set strict emission limits.

A shark is born: Introducing Nobiskrug's 77 metre Black Shark

Boat International talks to the dream team behind the upcoming 77-metre superyacht Project 793, by Nobiskrug, aka Black Shark.

"In Monaco, this yacht is going to dominate", says superstar designer Andrew Winch with conviction during the keel-laying ceremony of 77-metre Project 793 , aka Black Shark.

It has taken 18 months of hard work across a range of disciplines, but the boat's large steel keel section is sitting in the middle of the shipbuilding hall at German Naval Yards in Kiel. From the stylish lines of the project's logo and the excited buzz around the hall, it is already clear that this yacht has been very carefully named. With her razor-thin shark-fin mast and gill-like superstructure detail, she will certainly turn heads. But for all that, this is a project for a very experienced owner and is as much about what goes inside the yacht.

“Black Shark is a concept superyacht,” says Evgeniy Kochman, founder of broker  Imperial . “Our client was driven by the idea of giving birth to a vessel that would have the same style and energy as a shark. Powerful, aggressive and elegant were his keywords.”

The in-house design team at  Nobiskrug , the renowned north German yard that built  Sailing Yacht A , rose to the challenge. First contact with the owner was at the Monaco Yacht Show in September 2017; two months later a contract was signed. Imperial brought in  Winch Design  for the exterior and proposed  Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design  for the interior – a first for Kochman. “Sinot’s vision and ideas are really inspiring. We wanted Sander J Sinot and his team to be the creative fresh wind of the interior,” he explains. “This yacht will be special. She will have an absolutely stunning interior – unique.” A year of intensive design and specification work followed to eliminate any grey areas in the brief. This total clarity is something on which Imperial prides itself.

With eight cabins, a touch-and-go helipad, a spa pool on the foredeck and an open-air disco/cinema, the key features were locked down by autumn 2018. Steel-cutting could get under way, such that by early February, 80 tonnes of this work had been shaped and welded together into Black Shark’s keel segment. By the time the yacht is finished, there will be another 2,000 tonnes of steel hull and alloy superstructure to join it.

This work will be completed in Kiel before the bare hull is launched in early 2020. It will then be tugged up the Kiel Canal to Rendsburg, where Nobiskrug’s master craftspeople will await her. Here the detailed fit-out will take place before her final launch in 2021. It is an ambitious timetable, but one that Nobiskrug is confident it can keep. “These are challenges that Nobiskrug likes,” says MD Holger Kahl with a characteristic grin.

Designers: Winch and Sinot

Andrew Winch’s exterior design team came to the project with a brief to turn Nobiskrug’s vision into something truly special. And as he puts it with a smile: “This is not a whale shark; this is a fast, fast design.” They went through various iterations, but the shark fin mast and large GRP gill features were quickly agreed. “With the name it was obvious,” Winch says. “We started with a straight hull, then lowered it aft to make it more aggressive. The reverse bow means she has maximum waterline length, and that’s important for a boat like this.” The shark’s fin will be strikingly lit at night, and the owner is considering a matt black hull.

Inside, Sinot has subtly worked with the shark theme, and the colour black, to great effect. “We took the texture of shark skin, enlarged it and made abstract patterns,” says Zlatko Imamovic, senior designer and project manager at Sinot. “You don’t necessarily recognise what it is.” In the same way, they studied the ripples created by a shark’s fin as it breaks the water’s surface and carved them into black granite flooring on the bridge deck. There is generous use of backlit white quartz, the natural triangular structure of which echoes the form of a shark’s tooth. “We are using cutting-edge yet proven production and 3D modelling techniques to create something unique,” Imamovic adds. Other subtleties include the use of dark ceilings below the waterline, switching to dark floors above it. Woods used include lacewood, dark Macassar and wenge with bronze rubbed into the open grain. Modern furniture reflects the theme, with more Macassar and bronze trimming.

Broker: Imperial

Black Shark will be the second Nobiskrug superyacht built for an Imperial client. The Monaco-based brokerage house, which has acted for dozens of new-build yachts up to 86 metres LOA, is very clear that this yacht is special. “She will have the ‘wow’ factor, for sure,” says founder Evgeniy Kochman. “It’s the same if you were a diver: if you see a shark, you are just paralysed. You will have the same feeling.” Despite the wealth of superstar design talent involved, the client has remained at the heart of the process, according to Kochman. “The general shape of the yacht was already in the mind of our client. He had his idea, we helped him to get the closest possible to his dream.” The broker says it is all about the details of a contract, which took 18 months to hammer out. “Specifications can have lots of grey areas,” he explains. “That’s something we’ve learned to eliminate: everything is defined beforehand. I know this project will win a design prize.”

Keel-laying ceremony

It is a tradition as old as shipbuilding itself: the keel-laying ceremony marks the official start of a vessel’s life and is said to bring her good luck. “It is a very important point of time for an owner, too,” says Nobiskrug MD Holger Kahl, “because they physically see their yacht for the first time.” For Black Shark, it provides an opportunity to thank the owner and pay tribute to the project designers, as well as to wish the boat good luck. “Black Shark is an impressive name, with great intimations of strength and respect,” Kahl adds.

After the speeches, a freshly-minted euro coin is placed in a wooden block supporting the keel section, which is raised by the yard’s iconic crane. Under the owner’s eyes, and those of Holger Kahl, designers Andrew Winch and Sander J Sinot, Nobiskrug’s youngest female apprentice, Fiona Diekert, hammers home the first nail. Then it is the owner’s turn, and so on, before the keel section is delicately lowered back on to its bearers. Black Shark’s owner also chose to put some items of personal value into a time capsule, which he then welded into the keel himself. “It is a mark of the owner’s exceptional involvement in this project,” says Kahl.

Underwater superyachts? A CEO is pitching fantastical ships that can go 800 feet down and stay submerged for weeks

• Austria's Migaloo is offering to build a private "submersible superyacht" for the ultrarich.
• It says the M5 would be able to travel 820 feet underwater and stay submerged for a month.
• Despite the high up-front cost, CEO Christian Gumpold says the firm is in talks with buyers.

Forget megayachts. Forget billionaire basements. If you're unfathomably rich and want a new toy, there's an Austrian company that says it will build you a fully submersible yacht.

And this is no rickety Titan submersible .

The Migaloo M5 concept, the company says, involves a 540-foot base-model superyacht that would travel about 820 feet underwater and stay down there for up to a month.

"The needs of superyacht owners for their vessels are more complex than ever," Migaloo CEO Christian Gumpold told Business Insider, adding: "These wishes do not just include performance, length, or design."

Gumpold said that yacht owners were "looking for privacy, security, and protection for themselves, their guests and their valuables, or for the fulfillment of unique experiences up to scientific desires, as well as for the greatest possible exclusivity."

According to its marketing materials, Migaloo says the vessel's layout and features could be designed around any customer priority, whether that's security, thrill seeking, research, or simply vacation.

The company offers prospective buyers a checklist of options, including LED exterior lighting with a laser show, a helipad, a hot-air balloon, and — for the aspiring Bond villain — an underwater shark-feeding station.

The vessel could feasibly host a wealth of supplemental vehicles, including mini submarines, exploration vehicles, and working boats, it said.

Although at times it's described in the company marketing materials as a "private submersible superyacht" the M5 would technically be able to sail as a submarine — an underwater vessel that can launch itself and return under its own power, rather than having to be launched by a mother ship.

It's envisioned as being able to house up to 20 guests and about 40 staffers.

The Migaloo concept aims to satisfy an increasing desire for privacy and security among the world's richest people.

The most expensive megayachts ever sold now run into the half-billion-dollar range or more, with at least three $600 million yachts afloat, owned by various oligarchs and oil-state royalty.

Bobbing about underwater in a Migaloo M5, Elon Musk wouldn't have to worry about a jet-tracking student any longer.

Gumpold told BI he had specialized in yacht design since 2008, and he promised that all the complex arrangements of the Migaloo project — working with shipyards, flag states, and classification societies — would be taken care of by his company.

Much of the marketing material for Migaloo runs to possibilities that sound like science fiction, addressing problems that would either apply only to the ultrarich or which the rest of us would be too dead to care about.

Saying it works with the security company Safe, Migaloo claims it could create a "private submersible fortress," offering protection from electromagnetic pulses, cybercrime, piracy, solar flares, asteroids, and polar shifts.

That's on top of a gamut of features that any megayacht owner might expect, including spas, gyms, a gaming room, a wine cellar, an art gallery, and a panic room.

The cost, however, is the ultimate "if you have to ask, you can't afford it" test.

Gumpold told Fast Company that the price depended on the scope of the client's requests, comparing it to the price tag on large superyachts.

According to Fast Company's estimation, there are only 50 people in the world who could afford to purchase a luxury submergible megayacht.

It remains to be seen if and when any prospective buyers will bite.

Gumpold told BI his company was "still in close contact with several potential owners worldwide" and "very close" to executing the first project steps.

But he didn't elaborate on any concrete steps and wouldn't name any of his prospective clients.

With a turnaround time of about four to seven years, it's also going to be awhile before any of them would take to the seas.

Oceanco ‘s new 90m/295ft superyacht DAR, (ex PROJECT SHARK (Y717) , is the first yacht from the Netherlands to be given official Lloyd’s Register Integrated Bridge System (IBS) notation and designation, and the shipyard has announced that she has now been delivered to her owner.

The stunning black steel hull and aluminium superstructure use sweeping white lines to accentuate her exterior styling from  DeBasto Designs , and the dark-tinted reflective windows blend seamlessly with the finish for a desirable modern look.

From the interiors by Nuvolari Lenard , the floor-to-ceiling glazing offers panoramic views and a greater connection with the marine environment.

There is an entire deck dedicated to the owners with a forward Jacuzzi included in the amenities, and to ensure their privacy there are no walk-around passages. Access to the exterior is gained through private balconies, which further benefits the indoor spaces with fresh air, excellent views and even more natural light.

When designing the interiors, the owners stated that they did not want to use dark timbers, instead opting for sycamore fiddleback, maple bleached gray and Brazilian carballo wood for detailing. 3D lacquer, wallpaper and high quality fabrics add to the homely feel of the interiors and bas-reliefs; metallic surfaces and 3D cut leather panels add further textural interest.

Valentina Zannier, chief interior designer and junior partner at Nuvolari Lenard described the interiors and the intention behind the design:

“The main theme is nature, starting from blossom cascades, and moving to feathers, fish, waves and so on. It is all nicely integrated in a fluent feeling that would make every guest feel very comfortable in any room, any time of the day. The richness is almost invisible because it’s expressed by the quality of the details and the tasteful combination of complete bespoke finishes.”

DAR was nicknamed PROJECT SHARK due to the shape of the wing stations from an aerial view; the contours have the appearance of a hammerhead shark and the fin-like mast profile stands out against the sleek hull lines beneath.
