Double Down Gallery

A megayacht fisherman with a reported high-40-knot speed. Would you like a tower station that’s accessed from a retractable internal ladder? Maybe radar arrays and antennas stealthily built into composite wings on that tower? Or perhaps LCD glass windows in the cabin and saloon that can be darkened with the flip of a switch

Tribute Performance Boats built Double Down’s hull off a jig.

Flipping an 86-foot boat is no small task.

The composite-built tower gets dry-fit.

Through the use of computer-aided design and a system of jigs to build her, the fit between the hull and deck of Double Down was spot-on.

The tower design includes the radar array inside the wing.

Every slab of granite, trim piece, and inlay on this vessel was built to order for the owner, who is a longtime boater.
