1991 Hatteras 52 Cockpit Motor Yacht
Hatteras built a reputation on overbuilt hulls and honest, seaworthy design, and this 52 Cockpit Motor Yacht is a solid example of why the marque still holds its value with knowledgeable buyers. This boat has been actively maintained and has seen some extensive work completed through out the years.
"Kiyana" offers the classic three-stateroom, three-head layout Hatteras 52 buyers look for: a walk-around queen in the aft master, a second guest stateroom forward with its own private head, and a third berth for additional guests or crew. The salon is open and comfortable, with the galley down and a dinette that keeps the space functional for real cruising, not just dockside living. The aft deck is generous — covered, with a dedicated reverse cycle AC unit — and it's the kind of layout that actually gets used for entertaining, not just admired in photos.
Power comes from twin Detroit 8V92 diesels backed by transmissions that have apparently been rebuilt prior to 2015, with the engines themselves rebuilt around that same time. The current owner put her through a thorough, multi-yard refit from 2022 through 2025 that touched nearly every system aboard.
What sets this one apart from a lot of 52s on the market right now is the sheer depth of documented, recent work — not just cosmetics, but the mechanical and electrical systems that actually matter to a knowledgeable buyer.
Highlights:
- 3 stateroom / 3 head layout, walk-around queen aft master

- Recent Service, Upgrades & Refit History (2022–2025)
Between 2022 and 2025, Kiyana went through an extensive, well-documented refit across multiple yards — the kind of thorough system-by-system attention that matters most to Hatteras buyers.
