Henley's Custom Marine - Corporate
Scott Henley has over 25 years of experience in the diving and fishing industry. As a renown sportfishing captain of over 15 years, an airplane pilot and president and CEO of Henley's Custom Marine, Scotts desire for providing the very finest products and service along with his exceptional track record in the industry make his company the leader in setting the mark for excellence.
Jupiter, Florida-based Henley's Custom Marine has been setting the standard by which all others are measured since 1992. Scott Henley is experienced in the sale and custom rigging of the highest quality outboard powered “super center console fishing boats”.
Since the beginning, Henley's Custom Marine has been geared towards delivering the same undeniable quality and craftsmanship in the final rigged product as the manufacturers he represents, while constantly raising the bar.
In 2005, Henley's Custom Marine is proud to add to their line of remarkable “Super Center Consoles” the much anticipated Bahama 31, which combines functionality with performance and adds highly regarded amenities for the serious fisherman and diver, such as an amazing 11 foot beam, double “O” ring sealed floor compartments, easy access to equipment and switch panels, major storage and fuel capacity.
Also new in 2005 is the addition of the smaller yet uncompromising Black Jack 224! Talk about a smooth and dry ride... seats up to six. For more information click the appropriate link.
From the engineering process to the installation of power by either Mercury or Yamaha, electrical and mechanical systems, electronics, fishing equipment, custom paintwork or the design and fabrication of your top and tower by Birdsall Marine, Henley Marine offers uncompromising craftsmanship and attention to details.
If a desire for perfection is what you’re after when you choose the boat of your dreams, Henley's Custom Marine has three waterfront locations in Florida to serve you, in Port Salerno/Stuart, Palm Beach Shores at Sailfish Marina and their newest location, formerly Smilin’ Jacks Marina in Jupiter along with their original sales and rigging facility in the heart of Jupiter.

“Men at Work”
What does it take to produce the most “highly evolved” offshore center console ever built? Hard work? You bet. Obsession, drive, determination? Absolutely. Pride, vision, absolute commitment? Without a doubt.
Experience? You’ll need plenty. You don’t create a machine like the “Bahama” on gut feelings. You’ll need a lifetime of trial and error behind you. Failures and victories to shape your ideas about how to do it exactly right the next time. You’ll have to spend countless hours working with the raw materials, sweating and grinding, scratching and swearing. You’ll need to spend long nights after the rest of your crew have gone home fine tuning into the small hours of the morning. To do whatever it takes to ensure a perfect finished product, you have to sacrifice. No excuses, no short cuts, just do the work.
You’ll need a lifetime on the water too. Not just miles of saltwater under your feet or in your veins but plenty of fishing experience. You need to understand the requirements of a world class fishing team in a boat. Not just have them tell you what they want, understand what they want. You have to have skills that only the actually doing will provide. The kind of experience you can’t buy or inherit. You will have to have lived it.
These kind of dreams aren’t conceived in boardrooms or at country clubs. These plans are made on the dock after a fifteen hour fishing day in twenty five knot winds during a hot Sailfish bite in January and in a metal warehouse in 90 degree August heat with high speed sanders screaming all around you at two in the morning.
Bob Sparks and Scott Henley have what it takes to make these dreams a reality. All of the above ingredients have gone into the creation of the two most perfect open fishing machines ever built. The Bahama 31 and the Bahama 41 are the end result of a lifetime of planning and wishing, dreaming and doing.
Scott’s lifetime of experience working on sportfishing yachts and rigging the best boats available today to exacting specifications, and Bob’s lifetime of hard work and dedication building the finest open fishing boats available, one at a time, each with their own two hands. These two men have what it takes to make their dreams a reality. To make a sportfishing machine that inspires you to push a little harder, run a little further, fish a little later. To do what it takes to win. Do you have what it takes?
Bob Sparks of “Bahama Boatworks” and Scott Henley of “Henley's Custom Marine” would like to wish all of the participants in this years Jupiter Billfish Tournament good luck fishing and challenge each of you to push yourself a little harder out there in pursuit of your dream.
