This LLC Owned 1987 Hatteras 52 Convertible is a rare opportunity to own a classic American sportfishing yacht that has benefited from significant mechanical investment and attentive care. Located in San Diego, she presents in excellent condition and was repowered in 2025 with 2014 Cummins QSB 6.7 diesel engines showing approximately 350 hours. The repower was complemented by rebuilt steering, custom six-blade propellers, a purpose-built exhaust system, dripless shaft seals, newer cutlass bearings, repacked rudders, and upgraded AGM batteries. These improvements give this proven Hatteras offshore platform a substantially updated drivetrain while preserving the heavy-duty construction, stable ride, and sea-kindly performance for which the Hatteras 52 Convertible is known.

Her expansive cockpit and well-planned working areas make her ideally suited for Southern California offshore fishing, long-range trips, and serious time on the water. The layout provides the space and functionality expected from a true sportfisher, while the flybridge offers excellent visibility and modern Garmin navigation and engine-monitoring equipment. Whether chasing tuna offshore, cruising the coast, or spending extended weekends aboard, she delivers the capability and confidence expected from a professionally outfitted Hatteras convertible.

The interior offers the volume, comfort, and practical accommodations that continue to make the 52 Hatteras desirable as both a sportfishing yacht and liveaboard cruiser. Multiple staterooms, crew accommodations, two private heads, a full galley, climate control, and generous storage create a comfortable environment for owners and guests. Combining classic Hatteras build quality, low-hour Cummins diesel power, substantial recent upgrades, and a highly versatile layout, this 52 Convertible stands out among San Diego sportfishing yachts and represents a compelling alternative to newer boats at a significantly higher price point.
