With over 350 built, the Hatteras 53 Motor Yacht is a classic
yachting design. Few American motor yachts of her era came close
to matching the Hatteras 53 in comfort and luxury, and none could
match the quality construction long associated with the Hatteras
brand. The Hatteras 53’s expansive three-stateroom interior was
considered ideal in a 1970s/1980s motor yacht her size. The
wheelhouse is open to the salon, and a centerline door leads to
a roomy aft deck area. The galley is down several steps from the
helm/salon area and features large counter spaces, abundant
storage, and dinette for four. Forward is a guest stateroom (or crew
cabin) with over/under bunks and private head. Aft of the walk-in
engine rooms are the second guest stateroom with twin berths.
Further aft, the master stateroom has a walkaround queen berth,
dressing table, and ensuite head with shower. Notable updates
included the addition of stall showers in the aft guest head and
forward head in 1975, and in 1978 the flybridge was redesigned
and a queen bed in the master stateroom became standard. Detroit
