"I started at Jarrett Bay on the maintenance crew and worked my way into the facilities manager role. A lot of my success honestly comes from the guys I work with. We all stand on each other's shoulders, so to speak. I try to work hard for them so they work hard for me. You may rarely see us, but you see our work every time you walk through the gate, the buildings, the grounds, all of it. That's us. Being willing to learn and communicate is really all you need to succeed here."

Power & Motoryacht recently sat down with our founder, Randy Ramsey, to look back on 40 years of Jarrett Bay Boatworks.

From the construction of a charter boat in a $250-a-month shed in Williston, North Carolina to our 175-acre Jarrett Bay Marine Industrial Park and the highly customized, globetrotting sportfish we build today, 'American Dreamer' shares the story of how we got our start, how we've grown, and the people behind it all.

"The thing I love most about being a fabricator at Jarrett Bay is that everything is custom. We're always making new parts and when people come to me with a problem, I get to figure it out. There's no handbook for what we do here and that's what keeps it interesting. My biggest advice for anyone looking to get into this kind of work is to really love what you do. Don't just show up for a paycheck. That's not just true here, that's true anywhere in life. If you genuinely love the work, it shows."

"I like to play golf in my spare time. Painting boats is a lot like golf. To be successful at it, you have to keep yourself from overthinking or being scared of making a mistake. Thinking too much won't let you find your rhythm, and rhythm is everything. Being a good painter really comes down to being able to feel it. The guys who get really good are the ones who trust themselves, their team, and their preparation."
