PINELLAS PARK, Fla. - illiNews -- Sea Fox® 368X "Extreme Edition" by Black Label Marine Group Celebrates 5 Years of the Commander Legacy
– Custom Build Debuts Ahead of 2025 Suncoast Boat Show
To mark the five-year milestone of the acclaimed 368 Commander platform, Black Label Marine Group LLC partnered with Sea Fox® Boats to create a truly one-of-a-kind showcase build: the Sea Fox 368X "Extreme Edition." This bespoke vessel pushes the limits of customization and features advanced angler technologies, luxury-level amenities, and aesthetics most often found in the $1M–$2M+ yacht category.
This highly customized 368X is expected to make a guest appearance at the 2025 Suncoast Boat Show, April 25–27 at Marina Jack in downtown Sarasota, FL. The vessel will be featured in the Black Label Marine Group exhibit for guests to explore this boundary-breaking build.
"The 368X isn't just a special edition—it's a celebration of Sea Fox's craftsmanship combined with our team's obsession with design, performance, and personalization," said Tom Lipinski, Director of Marketing at Black Label Marine Group. "It's hands-down the most advanced and feature-rich 368 ever introduced to the market."
Launched in 2020, the Sea Fox 368 Commander quickly rose to prominence as a best-in-class offshore vessel—yacht certified, built to comfortably accommodate 16+ passengers, and loaded with serious fishing features. With standard tech like dual Garmin® 22" MFDs, 9" aft MFD, Seakeeper® 3, diesel generator, 2025 Siren® 3 Pro for remote monitoring, and a full JL Audio®/Fusion® sound system from bow to stern, the 368 already had it all.
The bar was already set high. So, to commemorate five years of success with the flagship 368 Commander, Sea Fox® built the foundation and Black Label Marine Group took it to the next level—customizing a truly unique vessel: a one-of-one 368X "Extreme Edition."

A Build is Born – Discussions began with a new owner who had recently ordered a 368, and the idea quickly took shape: elevate the vessel with next-level fishing technology, enhance the entertainment systems, and revive the classic reverse hull design—this time finished in a stunning Chanel Blue with custom white glossed accents and graphics. To top it off, Yacht Armor™ marine-based nanotechnology for full-spectrum protection was applied, ensuring the boat maintains a glistening, like-new appearance through even the harshest marine conditions.
"I started this journey wanting a great vessel where I could fish anything, day or night. My wife wanted to entertain family and friends," the owners explained to their salesperson, Billy Burns. "Billy showed us a prototype of the 'Extreme Edition' with all the added features and functionality. We were in immediately—we loved it and agreed to move forward with the upgrades."
Black Label Marine Group completed the build in March 2025 and delivered it to its proud new owners.
"We were at a loss for words. Absolutely amazing job. We were blown away with what we saw," they told Billy. "The attention to detail was incredible and far exceeded our expectations."

"We really had a great time building and customizing this very special boat. It was a team effort that pulled together years of experience from many contributors—the owner, the factory, vendors, subcontractors, and the whole crew here at Black Label Marine Group. There were countless revisions, new ideas, and late-night conversations that helped shape it into what it is. These are the kinds of projects we love at BLMG—where creativity meets craftsmanship to create something truly unforgettable. I'm proud to have been part of such a special build."
