⚓ Classic Hatteras Quality with Extensive Upgrades & Rare Maneuverability FeaturesLux Yachts proudly presents this beautifully maintained 1983 Hatteras 53 Extended Deckhouse Motor Yacht — one of the most respected and sought-after classic motor yachts ever built.
This is a truly impressive cruising and liveaboard platform that combines legendary Hatteras construction with extensive mechanical upgrades, modern systems, and exceptional handling enhancements.
The current owner is reluctantly offering this yacht for sale due to family medical circumstances. This is a genuine sale of a vessel that has been thoughtfully maintained and continuously improved.
With bow and stern thrusters, joystick docking control, stabilizers, water maker, and extensive mechanical servicing by Hinckley Yacht Services, this Hatteras stands out as one of the most compelling 53-foot motor yachts available today.
