1979 Hatteras Sport fishing

This 53-foot Hatteras Sport Fishing yacht combines classic sportfish design with proven fishing capability. Built in 1979 with a fiberglass hull, the boat spans 16 feet across the beam and delivers straightforward performance with twin Detroit diesel engines producing 1446 horsepower—capable of cruising at 20 knots and reaching 24 knots at full throttle.

The layout emphasizes function for serious fishing. A long foredeck accommodates a tender and davit setup, well-suited to Bahama and Keys cruising. The cockpit is spacious and low-freeboard, creating an excellent fishing platform, with a fighting chair positioned for prime angling. The convertible design remains visually distinctive even after more than four decades.

The boat has an established tournament history, documented as a proven competitor in multiple fishing tournaments. Recent ownership spans four years, during which the yacht has been actively maintained and used for its intended purpose.
