Main Description
2022 Winters Custom Yachts 53 Express
North Carolina custom builder Winters’ second largest express has all the luxury amenities and features one would expect of a high-end versatile sportfish yacht. REEL RISK is not only rigged for serious offshore fishing, capable of accommodating a number of anglers in her large cockpit with air-conditioned mezzanine and fighting chair, she is configured for entertaining family and friends dockside or at the sandbar, for comfortable overnight trips to the Bahamas or dinner cruises. A removable dive ladder attaches to hidden hinges at the transom door for scuba diving and swimming. Fuel efficient twin 1550hp MAN diesels easily cruise her at 40 knots with Twin Disc joystick controls for easy owner-operator responsive, nimble handling and seaworthy performance in just about any sea condition.
Why Wait for a new build, when you can have REEL RISK now!
