Red Witch is a 77-foot Gaff rig topsail schooner whose designer was John G. Alden, long considered one of the world's greatest naval architects and classic yacht designers. She is fully inspected by the U.S. Coast Guard and licensed to carry up to 49 passengers, and was built in 1986 specifically for charter passenger travel. Her dramatic bright crimson hull is constructed from mahogany over cypress frames, with a Douglas fir deck.

The Schooner RED WITCH was named after the epic sea story, "Wake of the Red Witch" by Garland Roark. The spacious salon is decorated with original posters and pictures from the 1949 movie, starring John Wayne and Gail Russell.
