CIELO MARE
127' Custom Pilothouse Sportfisher
Custom Built at Townsend Bay Marine
Cielo Mare is not simply a sportfishing yacht. She is a purpose-built, world-class custom yacht created for an owner who refused to compromise between serious offshore capability, exceptional fishing performance, and the comfort and refinement expected aboard a yacht of this caliber.
Built by Townsend Bay Marine in Washington, this remarkable 127-foot custom pilothouse sportfisher represents an extraordinarily rare combination of strength, range, craftsmanship, performance, and fishability. From the beginning, Cielo Mare was conceived to travel extensively, operate confidently in demanding conditions, and arrive at the world’s great fishing destinations ready to perform.
What separates Cielo Mare from nearly every yacht in her class is that her fishing capability was never treated as an afterthought.
She was built around the way serious West Coast fishermen actually use a boat.
Wide walk-around decks provide exceptional movement from cockpit to bow. Beautifully fabricated stainless-steel railings offer security without compromising visibility or access. Dedicated bow and stern bait systems, live-bait capability, tuna tubes, sophisticated sonar, extensive tackle capacity, and carefully considered fish-handling systems allow the crew to transition effortlessly from long-range cruising to tournament-level fishing.
At 127 feet, she offers the space and presence of a substantial motor yacht, yet underway she remains remarkably responsive and engaging to operate. She does not feel like a vessel that simply transports her owner to the fishing grounds. She feels like a true fishing boat—balanced, purposeful, maneuverable, and designed to put the crew in position when it matters.
That distinction is important.
There are larger yachts with fishing equipment added to them. There are highly capable sportfishing boats without the volume, range, and accommodations required for extended global cruising.
Cielo Mare occupies the rare space between the two.
Her pilothouse configuration provides an exceptional command center for extended passages, while her substantial interior volume allows owners and guests to travel in genuine comfort. Her layout, machinery spaces, deck arrangement, storage, systems, and fishing equipment reflect the thought that goes into a yacht intended not merely for weekends, but for serious cruising and extended expeditions far from home.
Throughout the vessel, the quality of the custom construction is immediately apparent. Cielo Mare has the feel of a yacht that was engineered and built rather than assembled. Her proportions, stainless work, joinery, machinery installations, deck hardware, and overall execution speak to an era of custom yacht construction where weight, strength, serviceability, and longevity mattered.
And then there is the cockpit.
For the serious fisherman, this is where Cielo Mare becomes something extraordinary.
Her fishing spaces are substantial without being cumbersome, offering the room required to manage heavy tackle, live bait, multiple anglers, crew, and large pelagic species efficiently. Her bait systems and tuna tubes support the live-bait techniques fundamental to West Coast and Pacific fishing. Her sonar and electronics provide the tools expected aboard a vessel intended to locate and pursue fish across vast stretches of ocean.
Everything has a purpose.
Yet when the fishing day ends, Cielo Mare transforms effortlessly back into a sophisticated private yacht—offering the space, privacy, comfort, and presence expected of a vessel approaching 130 feet.
A Yacht Without an Easy Comparison
Cielo Mare is difficult to compare because very few yachts were ever designed to accomplish what she does.
She combines:
127 feet of custom yacht
True pilothouse, long-range cruising capability
Serious West Coast sportfishing functionality
Walk-around deck access
Extensive stainless-steel rail and deck work
Bow and stern live-bait capability
Tuna tubes
Sonar and sophisticated fish-finding equipment
Exceptional tackle and fishing infrastructure
Large-yacht accommodations and interior volume
Purpose-built machinery and systems
Extraordinary responsiveness for a yacht of her size
The ability to travel extensively and fish seriously when she arrives
This is not a yacht intended to look like a sportfisher at the dock.
Cielo Mare was built to go. Built to fish. Built to explore.
For an owner whose ambitions extend beyond the marina—and who wants the capability to cross oceans, pursue world-class fisheries, entertain family and guests in comfort, and command a yacht unlike virtually anything else afloat—Cielo Mare represents an exceptional opportunity.
**Some yachts are built to impress.
Cielo Mare was built to accomplish a mission.**
And that may ultimately be her greatest distinction.
She is a true custom yacht, a serious fishing platform, and a world-ranging adventure vessel combined into one extraordinary 127-foot package.
There will always be larger yachts.
There will always be faster sportfishers.
But there are remarkably few vessels capable of doing everything Cielo Mare was designed to do—and doing it at this level.
Cielo Mare is one of them.
