Overview

This Hatteras is a beautiful turnkey yacht. Owner wants sold, bring any reasonable offer.

THIS HATTERAS 54MY IS BETTER THAN NEW!!

I know that sounds like a sales pitch. But really come visit and consider this yacht. From top to bottom this is by far the nicest 54MY that has reached the market in a very long time. The current owner seems to have struck the correct balance with traditional design and a wonderful flare toward more modern decor. From the NEW WINE COOLER in the main salon beverage area, to the brand-new STAINLESS-STEEL APPLIANCES in the all-new galley, to the updated wall coverings and new flooring, this yacht just welcomes you home. In addition to the decor, many behind the scenes updates received attention with an EXTENSIVE LIST of upgrades and routine maintenance items. Total investment expense to MAKE THINGS RIGHT is in excess of $120,000 spent in the past two years.

At a fraction of its original cost and far less than current similar new models, maybe consider the investment in an extremely well-built American made Hatteras Yacht. This Hatteras 54MY offers luxurious accommodations for a minimum of 6 in three private and cozy state rooms. Each stateroom has its own head/shower for guest privacy. The spacious interior allows for entertaining a group in comfort and style. Whether it be for a short jaunt around your favorite anchorages or a trip offshore to a fabulous destination. This Hatteras Yacht will take you to your destination in a safe and comfortable way.

  • Completely renewed bottom primer and paint. Hull soda blasted and refinished(see new pictures)
