The Story of Bayliss Boatworks
Founded in 2002 by North Carolina native John Bayliss, Bayliss Boatworks has quickly earned a reputation as one of the premier names in custom sportfishing yachts. Located in Wanchese, NC, Bayliss Boatworks combines the Carolina boatbuilding tradition with cutting-edge innovation, delivering yachts that are as capable offshore as they are striking in design. Each vessel is custom-built to reflect the owner’s vision, ensuring no two Bayliss boats are ever the same.
Built on the Carolina Tradition
Bayliss yachts are instantly recognizable for their classic Carolina flare, sweeping lines, and superior craftsmanship. These boats embody the heritage of North Carolina sportfishing builds while incorporating modern engineering that pushes the limits of performance. With cold-molded construction and lightweight strength, Bayliss yachts offer unmatched agility and efficiency in demanding offshore conditions.
Tournament-Ready Performance
Designed with competitive anglers in mind, Bayliss boats deliver speed, handling, and functionality that stand out on the tournament circuit. Expansive cockpits, smart layouts, and innovative fishing features make every detail geared toward success on the water. From chasing billfish in the Caribbean to dominating East Coast tournaments, Bayliss yachts are trusted by serious anglers worldwide.
Unmatched Luxury and Craftsmanship
Inside a Bayliss yacht, the focus shifts from performance to luxury and comfort. Each interior is handcrafted with the finest materials, offering spacious salons, custom woodwork, and elegant staterooms designed for long days offshore or extended cruising. The balance of functionality and refinement makes Bayliss yachts equally suited for tournaments and family adventures.
