Hatteras

Built tough, styled classic, and charter-ready - a Hatteras yacht charter delivers American pedigree with offshore confidence. Founded in North Carolina in 1959, Hatteras Yachts is an iconic U.S. builder known for producing seaworthy motor yachts and sportfishing vessels that blend durability, comfort, and understated luxury.

Whether cruising the Bahamas, Florida Keys, or New England, a Hatteras offers a stable, family-friendly charter experience with plenty of indoor and outdoor space to enjoy.

Proven pedigree, coastal comfort

Hatteras yachts are built to handle rougher conditions with confidence, offering deep V-hulls, strong GRP construction, and high bow profiles. Their interiors favor warm American woods, open saloons, and full-beam masters, while exterior decks are designed for relaxation, fishing, and alfresco dining.

With a reputation for reliability and livability, Hatteras yachts make ideal platforms for coastal cruising, island-hopping, and casual luxury charters in U.S. and Caribbean waters.

The Hatteras Charter Fleet

While the brand is best known for owner-operated vessels and sportfishers, several larger Hatteras motor yachts are now available on the charter market - often offering great value, thoughtful layouts, and strong U.S.-based crews.

Popular Hatteras charter options include:

Hatteras 80 Motor Yacht
A popular flybridge model with 4 staterooms, open salon and galley, large shaded aft deck, and a full-beam master cabin. Perfect for family groups cruising the Bahamas or U.S. East Coast with a shallow draft and easy maneuverability.
Hatteras 100 Raised Pilothouse
With expansive main deck living, a sky lounge, and 5 guest staterooms, this tri-deck model brings classic charm and relaxed elegance to the 100 ft segment. Great for longer charters or multigenerational vacations.
Hatteras Sportfish Charter Yachts
Renowned for their offshore pedigree, several Hatteras convertibles (60–75 ft) are available for charter with professional crews - ideal for serious fishing charters in the Bahamas, Florida Straits, and U.S. Gulf Coast.
Refitted Hatteras Classics
Many 1990s–2000s Hatteras yachts have been lovingly refitted with modern AV, updated interiors, and enhanced exterior spaces - offering budget-friendly charter options with proven seaworthiness.

Try before you buy

If you're considering buying a Hatteras - whether a sportfish, flybridge cruiser, or raised pilothouse model - chartering one first offers valuable insight into layout comfort, helm visibility, system access, and handling. Especially for U.S.-based buyers, Hatteras offers a solid, serviceable option with strong resale and owner satisfaction.
