The 1978 Hatteras 53 is a 53-foot fiberglass motor yacht powered by twin Detroit diesel engines producing 870 horsepower combined. The yacht cruises at 16 knots with a maximum speed of 19 knots, delivering stable, efficient performance typical of the Hatteras displacement hull design. Bow and stern thrusters are installed for enhanced maneuverability.
Below deck, the interior provides three cabins and three heads, offering comfortable overnight and extended cruising accommodations. The layout is designed for both private retreats and shared gathering spaces.
The yacht has recently completed a 400-mile voyage. The overall condition is good, though some cosmetic work remains to be addressed.
