PerformanceĪs we cleared the inlet, Gillespie pushed up the controls, and the MAN V-12 2000s jumped to life as we quickly got up to cruising speed, making passes up and down the beach in all directions while the engines quietly sang under our feet. Watch: The Marlin team explores the fishery of the Andaman Sea off Myanmar in this episode of Bluewater Chronicles. Knowing Gillespie personally, as well as his impressive resume, proved to me that this bridge was the result of years of experience at the helm and was laid out in perfect form.īefore pushing offshore, I scaled the tower, noticing that no expense was spared in this build: a Rupp triple-spreader Bigg Rigg outrigger system, recessed LED navigation lights, and forward and aft molded-in LED spreader lights that could provide daylight conditions on deck at the flip of a switch up top found a near-full helm setup with Twin Disc controls, a Garmin display and a comfortable seat. The bridge featured wraparound seating with storage below, topped by attractive pleated cushions, and the three-piece Lexan enclosure nearly eliminated any blind spots. Another box housed twin Miya Epoch Super US-9 teaser reels and an Optimus steering display. The flip-down box located in the overhead provided room for the MAN engine displays and both Icom VHF radios. The all-star lineup was rounded out with a Furuno radar, Garmin autopilot and Sirius satellite-weather module. An additional Furuno display was mounted on the port side of the electronics suite and was paired to an Omni sonar. Two supersize 24-inch Garmin multifunctional displays straddled the single-lever helm pod.
Wasting no time, I settled in on the bridge in the Release Marine Trillion navigator chair as we made our way toward Lake Worth Inlet.

All items were not just fastened but bonded, to ensure a tight, quiet ride, and I was looking forward to experiencing all of this for myself after delivery. As I combed through the boat, I was impressed to see the construction methods that were being used. The build was halfway complete but was starting to take form, and Palm Beach Towers was on-site to measure for what would surely be the proverbial cherry on top. After only a few months in operation, the new 63-footer, Lunatico, has already proved her worth-most notably with a 682-pound fish landed by owner Lance Converse to take the Blue Marlin Jackpot in July’s Bermuda Billfish Blast. Owner Russ Garufi progressed to boatbuilding in 2001 after a lifetime career as a custom-home builder, and with nine delivered yachts to his name, Titan is just starting to hit its stride. Nestled among the rolling cornfields of coastal Maryland, Titan Custom Yachts is situated right in the backyard of the white marlin capital of the world.
