BIG BAD JOHN

109' 1990 Denison Raised Pilothouse Cockpit Motoryacht
Fort Lauderdale, Florida

BIG BAD JOHN is one of the finest and most extensively equipped large cockpit motoryachts of her era. She was originally built and commissioned for legendary entertainer and entrepreneur Jimmy Dean, reflecting the no-expense-spared approach taken in her original construction, design, and outfitting. Built by Denison with an aluminum hull and powered by proven Detroit Diesel 16V-149 DDEC engines, she combines exceptional offshore capability with impressive volume and long-range comfort.

Her custom interior was designed by Susan Puleo and showcases refined finishes throughout, including marble, lacquered cabinetry, brass inlays, custom furniture, and extensive built-ins. The yacht's layout includes a full-width main salon, formal dining salon, oversized galley forward, raised pilothouse, expansive flybridge, and a large semi-enclosed aft deck-an arrangement rarely found on modern yachts of this size.

A defining feature of BIG BAD JOHN is her aft engine room with cockpit access, a highly desirable configuration that provides superior serviceability, noise separation, and redundancy, making her well suited for serious cruising, owner-operator use, or professional crewed programs.
