Walkthrough

Board from the port or starboard side entering the PH or Aft Deck. Starting from the Aft deck, you have two custom wood tables, bench seating, enclosed deck weather protected by wing doors on either side deck. Nice clean, well laid out wet bar to port and storage and ladder to the bridge. Also, a refrigerated fiberglass deck box for additional cold storage on board. Entrance into the salon through the french doors with a well-appointed salon and pilothouse opened up for wide open space: newly appointed soft goods, headliner, and furniture. Forward to the Pilot House with P&S Pilothouse doors, fresh soft goods, electronics makes for a very easy clean pilothouse for any captain.

A few small steps down to the newly appointed galley with "Gaggenau" appliances, Summit Drawer refrigeration freezer, Broan Elite trash compactor, and disposal. This galley has plenty of lighted counter space for any Gourmet chef on board. A very nice booth-style dining table.

Forward of the galley is a nice VIP stateroom ensuite head and plenty of storage.
Heading from the galley aft through a nice companionway is the third stateroom and head across from the stateroom.
Heading aft are P&S walk in engine rooms, and all the way aft is the Master suite and en-suite head.

Up from the aft deck is your Bridge access with a custom wet bar and upper aft deck for sitting or a tender and davit—a nice comfortable Pilot station with excellent visibility through a new style windshield to capture her modern looks.
Everywhere you go on this yacht, something has been updated or replaced.
This is a very, very nicely maintained and upgraded 56' Hatteras with a wide 18' 2" beam. 3 stateroom, 3 head, galley down layout with a huge aft deck. Super low hours (+/-) 396 on engines (SMOH) this will be the nicest one you find.
