The 57 provides three staterooms and two heads, and features an owner\u2019s suite that spans the full beam amidships, allowing a walk-around queen berth, a large bureau, and a built-in table under a large window for light and watching the world. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Cruisers Yachts has coined the phrase \u201cwater interaction,\u201d and that\u2019s exactly what the 57 Fly achieves, from the extra-wide swim platform that lowers to become a beach (or launch an 800-pound tender or PWC) to the foldout veranda that turns a big piece of the port bulwark into added deck space. But wait, there\u2019s more. A pair of stools mount on the veranda next to a sliding window that opens directly into the galley, making this an entertainment area where you can pass munchies around. And the cockpit has a wraparound settee on the transom with high\/low table to enjoy beverages, dining, playing cards and much more. \u00a0<\/p>\n<section class=\"hydra-container\">\n<div class=\"hydra-canvas\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BTG725-Cruisers-Yachts-57-3-1024x768.jpg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"hydra-image\" alt=\"Cruisers Yachts 57 Fly salon\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BTG725-Cruisers-Yachts-57-3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BTG725-Cruisers-Yachts-57-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BTG725-Cruisers-Yachts-57-3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BTG725-Cruisers-Yachts-57-3-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BTG725-Cruisers-Yachts-57-3.jpg 2000w\">                <\/div><figcaption class=\"caption margin_top_xs full border_1 hydra-figcaption\">\n                <span class=\"hydra-image-caption\">There are big dinettes in the salon and cockpit.<\/span><br \/>\n                <span class=\"article_image_credit italic margin_right_xs\">Courtesy Cruisers Yachts<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/section>\n<p>Continuing the water interaction, superyacht designer Luiz Debasto \u00adcreated oversize windows in every part of the yacht, finishing with a \u00adpleasant ocean-sand oak finish on the boat provided for our test.<\/p>\n<p>But don\u2019t miss the Fly part of the 57 Fly, because it\u2019s huge.

This 6-cylinder common-rail diesel has a twin-entry turbo and punches out 725 hp through counter-rotating props, which was more than enough to push us past the 30-knot mark, even with the Gulf Stream acting up.\u00a0 A 17\u00a0kW Onan genset is standard in a sound box, upgradable to 21\u00a0kW, and a Seakeeper 9 \u00adgyrostabilizer is standard. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Underway, the 57 Fly proved itself a solid and reassuring performer.\u00a0 Donald Blount and \u00adAssociates designed the hull, which, along with the Seakeeper gyrostabilizer, kept us comfortable up-sea, down-sea, and across the swells. We topped out past the 30-knot mark in the lumpy Gulf Stream and, backed off to 25 knots, the 57 Fly sipped fuel at 63 gph, which gave us a 250-nautical-mile range. Need more? Pull back the hammers to 9 knots, and you\u2019re looking at 700 nautical miles, which should get you from Newport to Bermuda with some slosh still left in the 611-gallon tank.<\/p>\n<section class=\"hydra-container\">\n<div class=\"hydra-canvas\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BTG725-Cruisers-Yachts-57-9-1024x768.jpg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"hydra-image\" alt=\"Cruisers Yachts 57 Fly aft sunpad\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BTG725-Cruisers-Yachts-57-9-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BTG725-Cruisers-Yachts-57-9-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BTG725-Cruisers-Yachts-57-9-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BTG725-Cruisers-Yachts-57-9-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/BTG725-Cruisers-Yachts-57-9.jpg 2000w\">                <\/div><figcaption class=\"caption margin_top_xs full border_1 hydra-figcaption\">\n                <span class=\"hydra-image-caption\">A lounge\/chaise folds out of the transom to make the swim platform into a beach club.<\/span><br \/>\n                <span class=\"article_image_credit italic margin_right_xs\">Courtesy Cruisers Yachts<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/section>\n<p>After our offshore adventure, returning to the dock was easy-peasy.
