ALL TRADES WELCOME


The 1981 Hatteras 56 Motor Yacht is a timeless American classic, offering the ideal blend of comfort, space, and performance. Designed with a spacious layout, it is equally well-suited for family cruising or as a luxurious liveaboard. This yacht has been lovingly maintained and significantly upgraded. The most recent updates include new batteries, a full engine service with oil change, new wall-to-wall carpet and an L-shaped sofa in the salon, new bedding in all three cabins, fresh upholstery on the galley and pilothouse benches, and a new A/C compressor for the owner’s cabin (July 2025)—just to name a few. The care and attention given to this vessel make it a standout example of the Hatteras legacy. It must be seen in person to be fully appreciated.
