PRICE REDUCTION ON BONNY READ

$3 Million Price Drop on Stunning Sportfisher

The biggest sportfisher in our sales fleet is BONNY READ, a 94′ Sportfisher built by the renowned custom builder Sea Force IX. Originally listed at $9,800,000, the owner has now decided to reduce the price by an astonishing $3 million, offering this exceptional yacht for just $6,800,000. This unprecedented price reduction, combined with a recent $4 million refit, presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for buyers to own one of the most advanced and meticulously maintained sportfishing yachts on the market.

A Legacy of Performance and Customization

BONNY READ is the largest of the performance sport line offered by Sea Force IX, a testament to the builder’s commitment to excellence. From bow to stern, her long, sloping sheer line extends nearly to the cockpit, where it drops to the precise height for optimal fishing advantage. Every Sea Force IX yacht is designed and built to the client’s exact specifications, and BONNY READ is no exception. Her interior boasts a European layout, with the galley separate from the dining and salon areas, creating a sense of spaciousness and elegance.

The craftsmanship is evident in every detail, from the quarter-sawn teak panelling derived from a single tree to the meticulously matched grain patterns throughout the yacht. Lightweight marble and granite countertops, crafted by skilled artisans, add a touch of sophistication. The salon features automated electric double French doors, an oversized U-shaped sofa, and a book-matched teak cabinet housing a new OLED flatscreen TV. The dining area, centered around a custom teak table and chairs, comfortably seats eight and is surrounded by teak cabinetry housing the yacht’s stemware, flatware, and linens.

Unmatched Hull Design and Performance

The most notable feature of BONNY READ is her hull construction, a hallmark of Sea Force IX’s performance-built sport yachts. Her hull geometry generates lift on nearly 90% of the running surface at low angles of attack, ensuring smooth and effortless performance. With a cruising speed of 27 knots and a range of 800 miles, BONNY READ is as practical as she is powerful.

Her mechanical space has been completely redesigned and refitted, making her one of the most functional yachts ever built. The upgrades include new Northern Lights gen sets, an Atlas system, frequency converters, a complete HVAC system, and an electrical rewire. Two Sea Keeper 18s ensure stability, while a newly designed exhaust system and fuel tanks enhance efficiency. The yacht’s communication and satellite systems have been upgraded to the most advanced available, including a full Simrad electronics package with two radars, AIS, Chirp technology sounder, and autopilot.

Exterior and Fishing Features

BONNY READ is equipped with everything a serious angler could desire. The cockpit features a custom-built tuna tube system with seven tubes on a dedicated manifold system, a release fighting chair, and large in-deck fish boxes with Eskimo dispensing. Along the gunwales, four rod holders line the covering boards, and a custom swim platform with a dive ladder provides easy access to the water. The hardtop bristles with antennas, masts, and satellite communication domes, ensuring you’re always connected, even in the most remote fishing grounds.

Recent $4 Million Refit and Modernization

After eight years of global travel and fishing, BONNY READ underwent a comprehensive six-month refit overseen by Rubicon Maritime Consulting. This $4 million investment ensured every aspect of the yacht was brought up to modern-day technology and standards. The refit included a complete update of her systems and interior, with all soft goods replaced, including all carpeted soles. The helm on the Flybridge was redesigned for better functionality, and a custom Pipe Welders Hardtop was installed. All polished stainless-steel pipework was replaced, and the most striking change is her new dark grey hull paint job and white topside paint, complemented by replaced teak decks and re-varnished cap rails.

At $6,800,000, BONNY READ represents a great deal for a yacht of this calibre.
