1985 Hatteras 56 Motor Yacht

The Hatteras 56 is a solidly built motor yacht with a beamy modified-V hull and deep keel, designed around a floor plan that prioritizes comfort and livable space. The three-stateroom layout positions the galley below deck with split engine rooms flanking the central corridor, leading aft to the master stateroom. The wheelhouse connects openly to the salon, offering clear sightlines from the lower helm. Two diesel Detroit engines rated at 1,300 horsepower total deliver a cruising speed of 12 knots and a top speed of 18 knots.

Accommodation and outdoor areas reflect the yacht's era of generous proportions. The semi-enclosed aft deck provides substantial room for entertaining, while the flybridge offers seating and space for a tender. Wing doors connect to side decks sheltered by bridge overhangs, and molded bench seating runs across the foredeck. Three heads service the three staterooms.

The engines underwent major overhaul by Detroit Diesel Specialists in January 2022. A stern thruster was added, and new batteries were installed across the yacht's electrical systems—for the stern thruster, bow thruster, generator, and tender. A new battery charger was installed recently.
