“Reel Deal” has undergone a complete 2022 refit, bringing this 82’ Sea Force IX to a level that feels fresh, current, and ready for immediate use. Major upgrades include brand-new Garmin electronics, a fully renewed interior, dual water makers, dual Eskimo ice machines, a full exterior paint job, and updated systems throughout—all thoughtfully executed to enhance both performance and onboard comfort.
Designed with practicality and presence in mind, she also features high ceilings throughout, offering a noticeably more open feel—especially valuable for taller owners and guests who appreciate true headroom rarely found in sportfish of this size.
“Reel Deal” is a custom-built Sea Force IX enclosed flybridge, combining serious offshore capability with the interior volume and comfort typically reserved for larger yachts.
Built on the proven 81.5 Sea Force platform, she carries an impressive 22’11” beam, making her approximately 1.5 feet wider than comparable Viking and Hatteras models in this class. This added width is not just a number—it is something you immediately feel the moment you step onboard.
Her full-beam salon takes full advantage of this design, creating a space that feels open, balanced, and highly livable—delivering a true big-yacht sensation within an 82-foot platform. The finishes blend teak, stone, and custom detailing, providing a refined yet durable environment suited for both entertaining and extended stays.
The additional beam translates directly into:
A larger, more functional cockpit for serious fishing
Expanded interior volume across salon and staterooms
Greater stability at rest and while drifting offshore
Improved weight-carrying capability for fuel, ice, and gear
Forward, the country-style galley is both functional and social, equipped with modern appliances, generous storage, and a layout designed to support extended time onboard.
Below deck, the accommodations are cozy yet spacious, offering comfort for both owners and guests. Each cabin is thoughtfully arranged to maximize storage, privacy, and usability, making the vessel equally suitable for short trips or longer cruising.
The enclosed flybridge provides a fully protected, climate-controlled helm environment with excellent visibility, allowing for comfortable operation in all conditions. Designed for both navigation and enjoyment, it offers a natural gathering space for family and guests.
The mezzanine layout further enhances flow between cockpit and upper areas, creating a practical and comfortable onboard experience.
Powered by twin MTU 16V2000 engines, “Reel Deal” delivers the strength, reliability, and performance expected in this class, offering a smooth and confident ride offshore.
For the serious angler, the vessel is fully equipped with:
Dual Eskimo ice machines
Dual water makers
Tournament-capable cockpit layout
Efficient deck and equipment flow
The recent paint, updated systems, and full interior refit position “Reel Deal” as a true turnkey opportunity—a yacht ready to be used immediately without additional investment or downtime.
