The 28.7-metre Bonny Read, one of the largest sportfish superyachts on the water, has received a price drop of $3,000,000 to her sales listing with Yachtzoo.
Bonny Read is a 95GT sportfish yacht built in fibreglass by the Sea Force IX shipyard in 2013, designed by Ron Rookstool with naval architecture from Rick Hyer. She first joined the market in 2022, fresh from a six-month refit which included both cosmetic and mechanical upgrades, including an overhaul of the engines.
Accommodation on board is for nine guests across four cabins, looked after by two crew. The interior – characterised by warm woods and neutral soft furnishings – is designed with a European layout, making the spaces open-plan and the galley separate.
The cockpit is the centre of fishing activities on board, with a Release trillion series fighting chair and a rocket launcher on the centreline. To port and starboard are 45-gallon live wells with a custom-built tuna tube system on the transom and eight-rod holders lining the gunwales. Her teak cockpit sole was replaced during her refit work and features two rudder inspection hatches and centreline bilge access.
Up one level from the cockpit, accessed from the aft deck via a stainless spiral staircase, is the yacht's enclosed bridge deck. An L-shaped sofa sits to port facing a flatscreen television, with a dining area forward and a second spiral staircase offering access to the flybridge.
Here, fishing operations continue, with the deck host to a mezzanine bench seat and a full stainless steel railing housing six rod holders. From here, the captain can enjoy 360-degree visibility with a full view of the bow and cockpit.
During her refit, the original hardtop was replaced by a custom-built Pipewelders hardtop featuring two new Intellian satellite domes and radars, two new Miya Epoch electric reels, two spotlights and all-new GPS antennas as well as VHF and stereo antennas.
Power is from a pair of 2400hp diesel MTU engines delivering a top speed of 35 knots and an economical cruising speed of 27 knots with a range of 800 miles. Meanwhile, two Seakeeper stabilisers keep her steady.
Lying in Panama City, Bonny Read is now asking $6,800,000.
