New Launch: Winter 53 Express W-33

In mid Summer 2022 Winter Custom Yachts from Huber North Carolina launched its fully custom 53 Express hull W-33 titled m/y Reel Risk.  Winter's 33rd hull is the second largest express sportfish to date by the custom North Carolina builder, only second to the 65 foot W-23 launched in 2017.

Based out of South Florida, she is also been tailored for sail fishing and extended cruising throughout the Bahamas.  Winter W-33 was build with an interior sleeping four with a forward master stateroom, guest cabin with two bunks to port-side, and a saloon and galley in between.  Winter 53 Express is powered by twin Man 1550hp and thanks to her lightweight twenty tons displacement is able to reach a top speed up to 44 knots.
