Mahi Dream, a 1991 56-foot Lydia sport-fisherman, has been well maintained by her previous owners with more than $1 million in upgrades and refits over the years, all backed by a file of its history. This tournament-ready bluewater battlewagon has been put on the market for $449,000.
Mahi Dream’s engines were swapped in 2003 from the original Detroit Diesels to twin MTU diesel engines with a combined horsepower of 2,300 hp. Paired to ZF Marine BW155/ZF550 gear boxes, three-inch shafts and four-blade propellers, Mahi Dream can quickly accelerate to 30 knots. The vessel’s cruise speed is 25 knots.
Mahi Dream’s dance-floor-size cockpit has a nonskid painted fiberglass sole with the transom wrapped with a teak-colored vinyl. When it comes to angling amenities, there are five gunwale-mounted rod holders, six rod holders on the tower legs, outlets for electric reels, Rudd triple-spreader outriggers and a removable Murray Brothers fighting chair, which is stowed inside a table in the salon. Relax in the shade under a folding “San Juan” style sunshade in one of four teak chairs, or on the aft-facing and cushioned bench seat to port. Stow gear in four transom lockers, or in the port and starboard gaff/tackle lockers. Frozen bait can go in a portable teak step box that doubles as a drink cooler.
The flybridge, accessed via an eight-step ladder from the cockpit, has a painted nonskid fiberglass sole covered by a fiberglass hardtop. Two Murray Brothers helm chairs on raised pedestals sit behind a center Palm Beach-style helm with varnished teak. There is a two-spoke aluminum helm wheel with power-assist and Glendinning single-lever controls with emergency back-up system. Full VDO engine gauges are mounted under a glass panel with radio equipment mounted in an overhead box with a teak cover. Six teak drawers to port and four teak drawers and tray to starboard provide stowage. Other electronics and navigation equipment include:
- Furuno radar on Furuno NavNet 10″ screen
- Garmin 7212 12″ touchscreen plotter
- Simrad AP22 autopilot
- Ritchie 2″ magnetic compass on bulkhead
- Northstar 6001 GPS/plotter
- ICOM M602 VHF
- ICOM M402 VHF – hidden under helm
- Glendinning engine controls
- Trim tab controls
- Alarm panel for port and starboard engines and high water level
- ACR point pad searchlight control
- Vetus bow-thruster joystick
- Emergency engine stop switches
- (4) New fiberglass antennas
- Horn switch
Guests can relax on the flybridge’s L-shaped settee with a folding teak table forward the helm while enjoying a beverage from the bar unit with a built-in refrigerator and sink. Zip up the three-sided clear-vinyl enclosure and turn on the air conditioning to keep cool on the ride out.

Mahi Dream’s salon is carpeted over a teak-and-holly sole with a teak grate landing at the door. The light-colored upholstery with varnished teak cabinetry glows from the overhead lighting. Guests can relax on a two-person loveseat to starboard with stowage below or at the portside L-shaped sofa, both covered with an ostrich-embossed leather. Under the sofa is a small top-loading freezer or refrigerator, depending on how you set the thermostat. There is a split-galley arrangement forward, but it’s open to the salon. Under the Jaguar granite countertops to port, there are two Sanyo refrigerators and a Kenmore “clear ice” ice maker hidden behind grain-matched teak doors. Some of the galley amenities include:
- Magic Chef four-burner glasstop cooktop
- Sharp Carousel microwave/convection oven behind a tambour sliding door
- Deep undermount stainless-steel sink
- Removable spray faucet
- Seven matched green teak cabinets
- Seven matched green teak drawers
- Seven overhead LED lights
- Duette shades
- Varnished teak-and-holly sole
After a long day of fishing, owners and guests can retire belowdecks to one of three staterooms. The master stateroom is to starboard with the VIP forward, and there is an over/under twin-sized berth port as well as a shared head. The master stateroom has a queen-sized berth with a private ensuite head. Owners will find plenty of stowage space in two large drawers below the berth, in hanging lockers, and a shelf above the berth as well as in the nightstand with a drawer and cabinets. The entire aft bulkhead is mirrored. Above is a teak soffit with three light fixtures. The VIP stateroom has a double-sized berth with four drawers below, hanging lockers, a vanity with slide-out tray, and mirrored door with cedar lined shelves. The sole is varnished teak-and-holly. Overhead are four LED lights, two stereo speakers and a deck hatch for ventilation and escape. The guest stateroom has twin-sized over/under berths with two drawers under the lower berth. A three-drawer chest fills the space that is plumbed for a washer and dryer combo which could be added.
Where is Mahi Dream located? The yacht is currently lying in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
