Hatteras Sells Record Number of Yachts at FLIBS

November 21, 2017 9:29 am

The 2017 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, held Nov. 1-5, was the most successful edition of the show for Hatteras Yachts in more than a decade, with record sales and a more than 15 percent increase in visitors to the display over 2016. Seven Hatteras models were in the water at the large stand, including the brand new M90 Panacera and GT45X Flybridge, both of which made their world premieres at the show.

Hatteras also introduced the new GT59 Convertible with a full-scale, walk-in mockup of its salon and galley in its display. An international press conference, an exclusive Hatteras Club party, and a christening also highlighted the boat show for Hatteras owners, customers and their families.

“The new boat sales we made and the great customer interest in all our models we experienced at FLIBS have further contributed to our company’s growing momentum and strong sales position,” said Hatteras Yachts President and CEO Kelly Grindle.

Attracting attention from the moment the boat show opened, the new GT45X Flybridge proved that adding an upper helm station to this nimble fishing boat was a very smart idea. With its high vantage point on the waters around the boat, added seating and storage space, it lets you fish in a style that traditional center consoles can’t match.

“The GT45X has proved to be so popular with offshore fishermen that we decided adding a flybridge option will provide tournament anglers yet another competitive edge,” said Hatteras President and CEO Kelly Grindle. Hundreds of show goers toured the GT45X Flybridge and GT45X Tower, which is available with half or full tower. We also offer the Hatteras GT45X, a comfortable express cruiser. With the launch of the GT45X Flybridge, there’s now a version for everyone.

Grindle officially launched the Hatteras GT45X Flybridge and M90 Panacera with a champagne toast at an international press conference held at the Hatteras Yachts display on the opening day of the show. In toasting the new M90 Panacera, Kelly explained that the name “Panacera” was coined to evoke the huge windows, wide open onboard spaces and easy traffic flow the M90 shares with its sibling, the M75 Panacera.

“The Panacera line was developed with the consumer in mind who actually uses their boat,” he added.

In addition to touring our new models, our “Hatteras Family” of current, former and future Hatteras owners got the chance to enjoy themselves at a signature Hatteras Club experience on Friday evening at our boat show display. There was excellent food, wine, and other libations; a six-piece band, and even a full moon overhead.

The christening of the Hatteras M75 Panacera FantaSea took place during the Hatteras Club event. The crowd was delighted when the new motor yacht’s owner smashed a bottle of champagne (in a protective bag, of course) against the transom.

A nonstop stream of visitors, strong yacht sales and an epic party all helped to make the Hatteras Yachts experience at the 2017 FLIBS one for the record books.
