1980 Hatteras 53 Motor Yacht – Classic Value Opportunity $179,900 | Charleston, SC
Listing Broker: Captain Daniel Spires | Lux Yachts
⚓ Back on the market and getting upgrades — this Hatteras 53 just became one of the best opportunities in its class.
The seller is actively investing into the vessel, with a scheduled haul-out, fresh bottom work, and additional improvements underway — creating a unique opportunity for the next owner to step into a classic Hatteras with real upside.
This is a solid, well-equipped boat with great bones, now being brought to the next level.
