Marine Commercial Photography in the 2026 Big Rock Tournament Program

The 68th Annual Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament just wrapped up in Morehead City. We were excited to flip through the official 2026 tournament program and find several of our photos inside.

We spend a lot of time working with businesses in the marine industry to photograph their boats, facilities, and daily operations. Seeing our corporate photography used by these brands during one of the biggest fishing tournaments on the East Coast definitely gives me a sense of pride.

Featured Ad Placements A few different brands used our images for their ads in this year's publication. Here is a quick look at the companies we worked with and how the photos were printed. All the ad design and placements were handled by the internal marketing teams for the companies.

• Jarrett Bay Boatworks: Jarrett Bay is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. They used a few of our photos to mark the occasion, including a two-page spread that features a sunrise aerial shot of their Beaufort facility. They also chose a large running shot of their newest custom boat for a full page back cover ad.

• Gregory Poole CAT Marine: This full-page ad used one of our on-the-water running shots of Jarrett Bay Hull 65 - Rebelette. They converted the image to black and white and used a beautiful clean layout to promote their marine power systems and service.

• Bluewater Yacht Sales: Bluewater used a color running shot of a sportfishing boat cutting through the waves for an ad about their East Coast sales network.

From Raleigh to the Coast Our video production and photography company is based in the Raleigh area, but we are constantly traveling down to the North Carolina coast. Documenting these boats in action and providing commercial photography for marine businesses never gets old. Seeing the final results printed in a physical program makes the early mornings and long days on the water completely worth it.
