NOTE: PRELIMINARY LISTING - MORE PHOTOS AND INFORMATION TO COME!

The 1979 Hatteras 46 Convertible is a true classic-an enduring example of Hatteras' reputation for rugged construction, offshore capability, and timeless design. Built during an era when yachts were over-engineered for strength and longevity, this 46 Convertible remains one of the most respected sportfishing platforms ever produced.

Her solid fiberglass hull delivers a confident, stable ride in a wide range of sea conditions, while her deep-V design and substantial displacement provide the kind of seakeeping that serious anglers and cruisers appreciate. The expansive cockpit is purpose-built for fishing, offering ample space for tackle, fighting chairs, and crew movement, while the flybridge provides excellent visibility and a commanding helm station.

Below deck, the interior showcases classic Hatteras craftsmanship with a warm, practical layout. Spacious accommodations typically include two staterooms, a generous salon, and a well-equipped galley-making her equally suited for extended cruising or comfortable weekends aboard.


Whether you're drawn to her pedigree as a tournament-capable sportfish or her appeal as a solid cruising yacht, the 46 Convertible represents a rare combination of durability, performance, and heritage. For buyers seeking a proven offshore vessel with classic lines and modern upgrade potential, this Hatteras is an opportunity not to be missed.
