Wave Paver 75’: On the Water

By

wave paver

Bayliss Boatworks recently announced the completion of Wave Paver, the latest 75’ custom sportfishing yacht to hit the water. Now that the builder’s work on the project is finished, Bayliss is looking back with pride to just over two years ago when they were approached by her owners to discuss their second build. It is an honor to build each and every hull, but it is an exceptional privilege when customers choose us for a second time. Wave Paver will be joining a long-standing and very successful fishing program on the tournament circuit, with the original Wave Paver 77’.

By

Owner David Finkelstein takes us on a tour of his new 71′ Garlington Miss Behavin. Ask anyone who has taken delivery of a new sportfishing boat similar to the 71-foot Garlington Miss Behavin and it’s not uncommon for little nuances to surface during the initial “shakedown” period. For Miss Behavin, the shakedown was a 1,900-mile journey from builder Garlington Landeweer’s factory in Stuart, Florida to Los Sueños Marina in Costa Rica.

It is rare to see a boat so personally customized for one goal and that is chasing and catching billfish on fly.
