1985, Hatteras, 72 Cockpit Motor Yacht

1985 Hatteras 77 Cockpit Motor Yacht One of Hatteras' Finest Custom Series Motor Yachts The Hatteras 77 was purpose-built and designed by Hatteras as a true crew-operated motor yacht, with a layout engineered to maximize privacy, comfort, and operational efficiency. Unlike many motor yachts that later had a cockpit added, the 77 was designed and built from the outset with a cockpit. The 77 was "born" that way. This allowed Hatteras engineers to position the engine room and running gear farther aft beneath the cockpit - exactly where they belong for improved weight distribution, and balance underway. The result is a spacious, stand-up engine room with exceptional access to all major machinery, while the full-beam master stateroom is positioned forward of the engine room, providing greater separation from engine noise and vibration. Crew accommodations are private and located forward and include two private staterooms, a lounge, galley, and head, all accessed directly from the pilothouse. This enables crew to move efficiently between their quarters, the helm, and the flybridge without passing through the owner's or guest living spaces. A separate companionway serves the owner and guest accommodations, ensuring complete privacy throughout the yacht. By isolating the machinery spaces, crew areas, and guest accommodations, Hatteras created a yacht that delivers the operational efficiency of a professionally crewed vessel while providing the comfort, quiet, and privacy typically associated with much larger custom superyachts and motor yachts. Powered by twin Detroit Diesel 12V71TI engines producing 840 horsepower each, she has benefited from significant recent mechanical investment. In 2024 the turbos, injectors, fuel pumps, and batteries were replaced, and both engines start immediately with no smoke, reflecting the care this yacht has received. Whether cruising the islands, entertaining a large family, or living aboard in comfort, this Hatteras delivers the space, ride quality, and construction that continue to make these 77 Hatteras highly sought after nearly four decades after launch. This yacht also has the perfect layout for a charter platform. Few yachts combine the volume, craftsmanship, and cruising capability of the Hatteras 77 Cockpit Motor Yacht.
