HATTERAS YACHTS
STILL DEFINING THE INDUSTRY

The Hatteras legend began on the barrier islands of the North Carolina shore where the frigid waters of the Labrador Current encounter the tropical Gulf Stream. The outcome is Diamond Shoals – home to some of the most turbulent and untamed waters in the Atlantic and some of the best sport fishing in the world.

Here in 1959 at Cape Hatteras, where nor'easters can blow almost as fiercely as hurricanes, Willis Slane envisioned building a boat that could conquer the waters of Diamond Shoals and surmount the Hatteras weather. It would not be an ordinary boat - this new boat would have to be rugged and robust to take the pounding of Hatteras waters. But most importantly, it would have to be a great sport fishing boat.

In 1967 Hatteras added a second manufacturing facility in the coastal town of New Bern, North Carolina. Thirty years later, the original facility was closed and all manufacturing was consolidated at the 95-acre waterfront site in New Bern, where operations remain today. But some things at Hatteras have not changed. Hatteras yachts continue to set the standard for ruggedness and high performance in all waters. Hatteras builds all its boats with a solid fibreglass hull bottom, and only Hatteras warrants its hull for five years – a testament to the ruggedness of its boats. This commitment to superior craftsmanship has alaways been our watchword and continues today. Whether the choice is a sport fishing convertible or a luxury motor yacht, both deliver the "renowned Hatteras ride" in comfort and style.
