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.
