Welcome to Hatteras
H
atteras Yachts was born out
of the treacherous waters
that surround Cape Hatteras.
For centuries, this fabled part of the
mighty Atlantic has been subjected to
the worst of nature’s wrath. It was
here that Willis Slane was inspired to construct a yacht that would thrive in the “Graveyard of the Atlantic.”
Over fifty years later, Hatteras Yachts is still the foremost
leader in the construction of luxury fiberglass yachts. Our
attention to detail, painstaking research and impeccable
quality are what have kept generations of yacht owners
coming back to Hatteras to fulfill their yachting dream.
The new GT Series embodies the passion for the sea,
and the quest for perfection that lead to the conception of
Hatteras so many years ago. These vessels are so much
more than the convergence of craftsmanship, technology,
and design. They are our life’s pursuit and an experience
that cannot be defined with words. Welcome the next
generation of sportfishing classics. This is Hatteras.

comprised of a single fiberglass part. Once complete,
the superstructure is joined to the hull using selftapping screws every three inches. The joint is then
laminated internally, creating a structural bond that will

only genuine wood veneers, many competitors top their
cabinetry with faux teak or reconstituted wood. Each GT
interior is liberal in its use of wood in the overhead accents,
wainscoting, and window framing found in the salon and
design details seen throughout the boat.
Vinyl Headliners. Headliners aboard all Hatteras
models are created using a tracked, removable vinyl system,
enabling repairs to be made to one section of the headliner
without having to replace the entire unit. These tracked
panels also eliminate unsightly seam-concealing strips
needed when installing traditional headliner material.
Galley & Head Design. Hatteras utilizes colorcoordinated solid-surface and stone countertops with
integrated sinks and bullnose edges in the galley and
heads. Both feature side splashes and back splashes to
contain water. The vanity head cabinets are built with
stylish bowed fronts (where possible), and the cabinet
bases are finished wood with flush doors. All shower
doors have wood trim to protect wall coverings.
