Project: Winter Custom Yachts 66 Convertible W-38

Although Winter Custom Yachts have had more attention in the express sub fifty foot market in recent years, the company debuted by launching the 62 Convertible W-1 in 2006.  This new 66 Convertible hull W-38, which started construction in Summer 2023, follows the roots of the North Carolina sportfish cruiser and yacht builder.  W-38 actually started life as a 63 foot Convertible design, with it becoming three feet larger as per customer demands.  The original 63 project featured power by twin 1925hp Cat engines, but with the commissioning of W-38 Winter has been very quiet on details.
