HATTERAS 100 MOTOR YACHT
For many, the name Hatteras is synonymous with fisherman, so well-
known is it among hobbyists all over the world for its production of
sportfishing convertibles.
A Alongside its well-established range of fishing machinery, however,
the American shipyard also produces motoryachts, of which it now has 6
models, from 63' to the biggest, 92 and 100 feet, the latter being
also available in the "Cockpit" version, which features a cockpit
astern specially designed for fishing.

The flagship, which we present
here, is still the 100M/Y, a boat with a beauty all of its own, not
greatly influenced by current trends but rather characterised by its
spacious interior to meet the needs of customers who, even with such
large boats, still seek maximum comfort and utility in each space. An
example of this is the lounge on the main deck which is a real party
lounge, divided into a living area with built-in bar on the port side,
equipped with fridge and ice maker, and a dining room for
entertaining. As regards the furnishing of the entire area, Hatteras
always leaves freedom of choice to the owner as regards type of
furniture as well as materials and upholstery, so it can be absolutely
personalised and custom designed. The area is fully equipped with
accessories, however, to increase the comfort of guests including a
plasma 42" T.V., a stereo with CD player, DVD player and a powerful
air-conditioning system which has been especially installed to ensure
a uniform temperature in all areas.
The galley, in line with American tradition, is fitted out with every
accessory. Located forward of the stairs to the sleeping area and the
"pilothouse", it is equipped with two freezers including icemaker, a
cooker top with four rings and a traditional oven or dual conventional
and microwave oven. In addition, therès a waste unit, garbage
press, dishwasher, wine refrigerator and a fairly large space for
storing, comprising a sideboard and cupboards. The area is completed
by a dinette for informal eating with L-shaped sofa. The lower deck is
entirely given over to sleeping quarters, with a particularly spacious
and richly decorated owner's suite, with adjoining private study,
dressing room and double bathroom, divided in the centre by a Jacuzzi.
Forward there is a VIP stateroom, accessible only from the bridge
house to guarantee maximum privacy, also fully decorated and equipped
with a large bathroom. Astern, just before the engine room in the
standard version there are another two double cabins, practically
identical in terms of size and facilities, which on the owner's
request can be "converted" into cabins with twin beds or into one
single large suite astern. Master and crew have their quarters
astern, separated by the rest of the sleeping area by the engine room
and these are also only accessible from the outside. Here there may
be two or three cabins on request, served by two bathrooms. On a
middle level between the main deck and the flybridge, is the raised
pilothouse or control station in a dominating position to guarantee
maximum sailing visibility but without stealing precious space from
the upper deck which is entirely given over to an outdoor life. Here
there are two L-shaped dinettes, one on each side, with a handy bar at
the bow with icemaker, fridge and sink and with a large central
Jacuzzi astern. Still further towards the stern is enough space to
house the tender and the relative accessories for movement.
