Jaw-dropping speed and agility come together with the highest level of fit-and-finish of a gem that has often been called the "sports car" of the Yellowfin lineup.
The DWR crew use the Yellowfin for everything from a working dive boat to performing high-speed boarding maneuvers and occasionally use it for what it was intended for- to catch big game offshore. They carry her everywhere on the aft deck of Dark Ocean.
