Information Provided by the Owner
I am selling my Hatteras 53 Classic built by the Hatteras shipyard in 1979 and launched in 1980. It is very livable and spacious, ideal as a second home on the water. The interior woodwork is in solid mahogany. Very large flybridge, all sun loungers are new. Aft swim platform in teak.
Main characteristics of the aft cabin motor yachts: the 53’ is the most successful medium-sized motor yacht ever built by the Hatteras shipyard with more than 600 units manufactured in various configurations and layouts from 1971 to 1989. This classic motor yacht owes its great popularity to its excellent build quality, spacious layout, and seaworthiness.
Its accommodations are spacious, its two Detroit 8V71 TI engines (turbocharged diesel engines with intercooler with a power of 2 X 420 HP) reliable and robust, make it an ideal yacht for extended cruising or a very comfortable life on board. You will be amazed inside by the mahogany woodwork and its original equipment.
