Bob Roscioli builds some of the finest custom boats on the water, so when Bud Koch approached him with his needs for a unique sport-fisher, the result was nothing short of phenomenal. Classic Coke is a 58-foot Sport Cruise with a host of unique options like a fully functional hidden aft helm (with nearly seven feet of standing room beneath the overhang) plus hidden rod storage in the salon, a retractable rear salon window and more.

Stepping aboard, one of the first notable features is the huge transom livewell, with dual lids and viewing window. No need to get on your knees to access bait from an in-deck livewell here. Courtesy Rosicoli Donzi Sportfishing Yachts

Another unique touch: the aft helm with electronics. Because the 58 Sport Cruise does not have a tower or bridge deck, this becomes the command center when fishing. Courtesy Rosicoli Donzi Sportfishing Yachts
