1990 Denison Pilothouse Cockpit Motoryacht | 109ft

BIG BAD JOHN was originally built and commissioned for legendary entertainer and entrepreneur Jimmy Dean, reflecting a no-compromise approach to construction, layout, and outfitting from inception. As a high-profile original owner, the project received exceptional attention to detail, with an emphasis on comfort, durability, and long-range capability rather than cost-driven production decisions. Constructed by Denison in aluminum and delivered as a raised pilothouse cockpit motoryacht, the vessel was designed to combine serious offshore performance with elegant entertaining spaces. Her interior was custom-designed by Susan Puleo, incorporating extensive marble, lacquered cabinetry, brass detailing, and custom furnishings throughout—features that remain evident today. The yacht’s aft engine room with cockpit access, oversized tankage, stabilized platform, and redundant systems were all specified to support extended cruising and professional operation. This original build philosophy is reflected in her generous machinery spaces, service access, and robust systems layout. Over the years, BIG BAD JOHN has remained a well-known example of the Denison pedigree, benefiting from continued care and professional operation. Her original commissioning for a prominent owner is a defining part of her identity and contributes meaningfully to her stature among classic large motoryachts. © National Liquidators 2008-2023 – All Rights Reserved | Site powered by Acclaim. © National Yacht Sales 2008-2023 – All Rights Reserved | Site powered by Acclaim.
