The 53' yacht fish is constructed on the same single chinned hull as the motor yacht and convertibles. She cruises comfortably at a respectable 16-17 knots. The split level design puts each level only steps away. The cockpit is spacious enough to sit and relax, spend the day fishing or just hanging out with friends.
Up three steps to the mezzanine level afford some protection from the sun. From here you can ascend to the bridge or enter the salon. On a nice day you can open the double entry way to the salon and extend your living room outdoors.
The bridge has a wonderful layout. The centerline helm gives you excellent visibility both fore and aft. There is a companion seat and both have access to the electronics. Just forward of the helm is a large bench seat with plenty of storage below. The isinglass enclosure is in nice shape and doesn't hinder vision.
Back down to the salon, you enter either through the double entry door off the mezzanine or from the side decks forward. The salon is huge. It has been newly decorated with off-white textured carpet and two Teak style chairs and a very comfortable sofa. There are end tables and lamps to brighten your day.
There is a lower helm in this boat and is welcomed on nasty New England days.
Access to all your electrical panels are to port with the stairs down to starboard. These lead to the galley and dinette area. The dinette to starboard will easily seat four and has a full galley to meet any culinary needs.
Forward is the VIP stateroom with a private head that doubles as the day head. Aft going down the companionway to the master are two access doors to the engine room. There is plenty of room to maneuver for maintenance.
Further aft you enter the spacious master stateroom that boasts a full size closet next to a vanity. There are two full sized dressers and another closet to starboard. The master head is complete with a tub/shower combination - a nice touch for a boat this size.
This is a wonderful boat. The current owner is ready to move on and wants her sold immediately and the price reflects his wishes.
This is the best priced 53' Hatteras Yacht Fish out there at this price and in this condition. Don't hesitate - purchase now or it will be gone.
