57ft Lydia Custom Sportfish 2001

RED WITCH is a 57ft custom convertible sportfish yacht, built in the "Custom Carolina" style with flared bow and raked entry, V-shaped hull. There are some differences perhaps due to its Florida build. Florida custom sportfish builds tend to have a more moderate-V hull and flare, allowing greater interior space for accommodations. The sheerline of this Lydia 57 Sportfish is more gently sloped aft and bow flare appears to carry aft to the rounded transom, helping to keep the ride dry. Her sharp raked entry is designed to slice through rough sea conditions as expected of this seaworthy mid-range sportfisher. RED WITCH has plenty of well-equipped cockpit space rigged for offshore fishing with tower, outriggers, fish fighting chair, cockpit freezer, ice bin, tackle and bait prep, and more. Open flybridge helm is the typical convertible peninsula-style from starboard side with walk around on portside to forward and port bench seating. Helm features two Garmin touchscreens and full array of electronics and instruments. She features a comfortable interior layout with traditional satin-finished teak trimmed white cabinetry and paneling, for longer overnight fishing trips or cruises with family.
