Hatteras Motor Yacht: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Boat Test Review on BoatTest.com

Overview

The Hatteras 60 Motor Yacht is a premium ocean-capable vessel thoughtfully redesigned based on customer feedback to enhance comfort and functionality. This yacht combines luxurious design elements with practical features to provide an inviting and spacious environment both above and below deck.

Exterior Design and Flybridge

The aft deck serves as a centerpiece with a beautifully finished hardwood pedestal table surrounded by C-shaped seating accommodating six guests. The overhead extends far aft, providing shelter for the entire 135-square-foot deck, which also allows for additional deck chairs. The flybridge features an L-shaped seating area around a dinette table with two pedestals, creating a comfortable social space just behind the helm. The boat deck is spacious enough to hold a 10-foot dinghy, which can be launched via a portside crane. Rail height measures 31 inches for safety. To starboard, an electric grill is installed, and the open aft deck can be configured with deck chairs or a sun pad, offering versatile outdoor living options.

Interior Living Spaces

The salon is designed to blend seamlessly with the aft deck through double-wide opening doors, creating an open yet intimate gathering space. To starboard, a single seat and cocktail table face a 36-inch flat screen TV, with storage cabinets integrated into the side bulkhead. The interior woodwork features satin-finished African mahogany with wenge trim, complemented by curved windows that pay homage to classic Hatteras styling and include privacy shades. To port, an L-shaped sofa with storage underneath offers comfortable seating with low windows providing horizon views from a seated position. The overhead whisper wall stands 6 feet 7 inches above the deck. The galley and dining area are elevated by a single step from the salon, continuing the Amteco decking and wood finishes. The L-shaped dinette, upholstered in ultra leather, surrounds a large granite table with seating for six, including three additional chairs. Curved windows rise to deck level, accommodating an optional lower helm station, and overhead clearance increases to 6 feet 9 inches. A wine chiller capable of storing 24 bottles and a frosted glass partition add both functionality and aesthetic appeal.

Galley Features and Fit & Finish

The galley is well-equipped with refrigerated drawers arranged one over the other, ample counter space, a convection microwave oven, a four-burner stove, a mid-sized oven, and a dishwasher secured with latches suitable for ocean conditions. Additional refrigerated drawers on the opposite end can be configured as refrigeration or freezer units according to owner preference. A water tank gauge is conveniently located within sight of the galley. The cabinetry showcases expert joinery with matching wood grains, and a central island provides a functional workspace without creating a dead-end aisle, enhancing movement and usability.

Private Accommodations

Below deck, the companionway is lined with padded bulkheads containing storage compartments, including space for deck chairs. The full-beam master stateroom features a tapered king-size berth aligned fore and aft, flanked by dual nightstands, with the starboard side doubling as a vanity. The room is adorned with satin-finished African mahogany and wenge trim, large hull-side windows offer expansive views just above water level, and the overhead whisper wall measures 6 feet 5 inches. Storage is abundant with a walk-in cedar closet to starboard, an additional cedar hanging locker to port with a full-length mirror, and multiple chests of drawers. A 19-inch flat screen TV is mounted for comfortable viewing from the berth. The master head includes a marble countertop, mirrored storage walls, satin-finished woodwork, and Imtiko flooring. The walk-in shower is notably spacious and includes a seat for use underway. Forward, the VIP stateroom offers a tapered queen berth with cedar-lined storage beneath, side storage cabinets, a full-length mirror, a 19-inch flat screen TV, and a cedar hanging locker. The shared head features consistent high-quality materials and a curved shower door for added space. Across the companionway is a guest stateroom with criss-crossed berths. Additionally, a stacked washer and dryer are discreetly housed under the companionway stairs.

Conclusion

The Hatteras 60 Motor Yacht impresses with its luxurious design, meticulous fit and finish, and open, functional layout. Every detail, from the spacious and sheltered aft deck to the thoughtfully arranged interior living spaces and private accommodations, reflects a commitment to comfort and ocean-going capability. This yacht offers a refined and practical environment for extended cruising and entertaining.
