Sportfisher Motor Yachts
From 14m (45’) to 21m (70’)
Few names resonate in American yachting like Hatteras. Founded in 1959 on the windswept coast of North Carolina, the brand emerged at a time when the idea of a fiberglass sportfishing yacht was revolutionary. Led by founder Willis Slane’s bold vision, Hatteras launched its first 41-footer into stormy Atlantic waters—and changed the trajectory of yacht building in the U.S.
What followed was a decades-long legacy built on strength, reliability, and a look that quickly became iconic. From the sweeping Carolina flare to the deep-V hulls made for rough water, Hatteras yachts earned their reputation offshore. Today, the GT Series continues that performance lineage, while the M Series motor yachts deliver long-range cruising and fully personalized interiors.
Now part of White River Marine Group, Hatteras remains rooted in New Bern, North Carolina, where each yacht is still built with the same purpose that defined its early days. Owners choose Hatteras for its reputation on the water and for the support behind the scenes, long after the first run offshore.
