Everything Hatteras from Sportfish to Motor Yacht

The Hatteras Yachts story began in 1959 in New Bern, North Carolina, when founder and marlin fisherman Willis Slane envisioned a fishing vessel that could withstand the unforgiving waters off Cape Hatteras. Just one year later, during an era when the wooden boat was still king, the company introduced the Hatteras 41 Convertible, the first all-fiberglass sportfishing boat available in the 40-foot range. What followed was innovation upon innovation and a remarkable legacy of superior craftsmanship, engineering, and attention to detail that remain the brand’s hallmarks 60 years later. Even the smallest of Hatteras Yachts’ sportfishing boats offer amenities often reserved for luxury yachts. From their helms outfitted with state-of-the-art electronics to their deceptively spacious, bright interiors, the GT, convertible, yacht fisherman, and flybridge models serve up plenty of room to wage war on your choice of catch while entertaining friends and fellow anglers. Outriggers, rod holders, outdoor grills, plenty of storage, and spacious lounge areas are available up top, while well-equipped galleys and comfortable accommodations populate below-deck areas.

Why Choose Hatteras Yachts

Built to Conquer the Waters of Cape Hatteras

Founded in 1959 by Willis Slane, Hatteras was created with a simple goal: build a yacht capable of handling the demanding conditions off North Carolina's Outer Banks.

The Brand That Revolutionized Sportfishing

Hatteras changed the boating industry forever with the launch of Knit Wits, the 41-foot yacht widely recognized as the first large fiberglass sportfishing yacht. Introduced in 1960, this groundbreaking vessel helped accelerate the industry's transition from wood to fiberglass construction and established Hatteras as a pioneer in modern yacht building.

More Than 60 Years of Offshore Excellence

Built in New Bern, North Carolina, Hatteras yachts have earned a reputation for robust construction, bluewater performance, and tournament-ready capabilities, making them a favorite among serious anglers, experienced captains, and long-range cruisers alike.
